QA Consultant

Location: London / Manchester

Slalom is a global, human-centric business and technology consulting firm. We specialise in partnering with organisations that aspire to excellence, helping them tackle complex challenges and achieve transformative results through strategy, technology, and business transformation services. By prioritising people, Slalom creates a unique consulting experience, with a team of strategists and engineers delivering practical, end-to-end solutions that drive impactful outcomes for our clients. We empower people and organisations to dream bigger, move faster, and build better tomorrows for all.

The role of a QA Consultant within the Delivery capability is dedicated to maximising the value and effectiveness of our delivery teams by bringing modern, innovative testing techniques and tools to our solutions and our clients.

We embrace collaborative, agile testing processes and focus on enabling whole-team ownership of quality. We’re looking for someone to help establish and grow this practice within the wider Delivery capability. This role requires close collaboration with project teams and leadership to define test strategy and approaches, as well as driving implementation across a variety of Slalom clients.

What will you do?

• Deliver quality and testing services across client projects of varying size and complexity, with a focus on testing Salesforce-based solutions (including Health Cloud, Service Cloud, and Field Service Lightning) throughout all phases of the software development lifecycle.
• Collaborate with client stakeholders and internal teams to support the definition of test strategies and approaches for functional, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing across platforms such as web, mobile, and enterprise systems.
• Design and execute detailed test cases, maintain test data, and carry out test execution and defect management using tools like JIRA, Azure DevOps, and Zephyr.
• Produce clear and accurate test reports and quality metrics based on project needs, identifying key risks and issues to support decision-making.
• Support UAT activities and client validation efforts, including coordinating test execution and helping troubleshoot reported issues.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of Slalom’s testing standards, tools, and best practices.

What will you bring:

• Practical experience in delivering QA services across enterprise environments, particularly involving testing of Salesforce implementations.
• Comfortable working within Agile delivery models (Scrum and Kanban), with experience participating in iterative, cross-functional teams.
• Proficiency with test and defect management tools such as JIRA, Zephyr and Azure DevOps.
• Hands-on experience in the following QA areas:
  • Functional, system integration, and regression testing
  • User acceptance testing (UAT) execution and support
  • Defect logging, triage, and validation
  • Test reporting and quality tracking
  • Test data preparation and environment coordination
• Exposure to API testing tools such as Postman or ReadyAPI and working knowledge of structured data formats and basic scripting (SQL, XML, JSON).
• ISTQB Foundation certification preferred; experience with test automation tools like Provar and Copado Robotics Tester is an added advantage.
