Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Software Tester to join our client's growing software team. You will be responsible for delivering high-quality manual testing across their web-based products, working from Jira stories to understand requirements, create clear test documentation, build and execute test cases, and manage defects through to resolution. This role is primarily home-based (with office attendance as needed) and suits a detail-oriented, collaborative tester who can work closely with developers to ensure issues are reproducible, evidenced, and resolved efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

  * Perform manual testing across our software products, primarily web-based applications.

  * Take ownership of Jira stories by reviewing requirements and translating them into clear test coverage.

  * Create and maintain test documentation for each story, including test cases and supporting evidence.

  * Execute test cases, identify defects, and retest fixes through to resolution in an iterative cycle.

  * Log defects in a clear, reproducible way and collaborate closely with the development team to support efficient resolution.

  * Provide structured sign-off once acceptance criteria are met, ensuring documentation is complete and up to date.

  * Support cross-product testing as the team moves away from niche specialisms and towards broader coverage.

  * Contribute to improving testing processes and quality standards, with an awareness of automated testing (where applicable).

Requirements

Essential:

  * Confident working with Jira (or similar) to manage stories, defects, and test progress.

  * Ability to create clear, structured test documentation and build effective test cases from requirements.

  * Strong defect reporting skills (clear reproduction steps and supporting evidence) and experience collaborating with developers through fix and retest cycles.

  * Good communication skills and a proactive, detail-focused approach to problem solving.
