(Senior) Test Coordinator – Financial Systems / Payments Platforms
Portugal (Remote )
International team – English working language
We're looking for a (Senior) Test Coordinator based in Portugal to lead and structure testing activities across systems in the financial and payments space.
This role is primarily coordination-focused, requiring strong stakeholder management, communication, and ownership of testing processes across releases.
This is not a pure technical QA or automation role - the focus is on driving testing across teams, ensuring alignment, and enabling business and IT stakeholders to work effectively together.
You'll help organize testing, coordinate with business users and developers, maintain test cases in Azure DevOps, and execute tests when needed. The work is quite collaborative, so we're looking for someone who is structured, communicative, and comfortable working with stakeholders across business and IT.
What you'll be doing
Owning and coordinating end-to-end testing activities across releases
Driving UAT processes with business stakeholders and ensuring active participation
Acting as the central point of contact between business, IT, and QA teams
Structuring and organizing test plans, cycles, and deliverables
Facilitating communication across stakeholders and resolving blockers
Tracking defects and ensuring follow-up and accountability
Supporting test execution when needed, but with a focus on coordination
Ensuring transparency through clear reporting and communication of testing status
What we are looking for
Proven experience in test coordination or test management roles
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
Experience working with business users in UAT environments
Ability to structure testing processes and drive alignment across teams
Confident communicator, able to lead discussions and handle challenging situations
Experience in financial systems, payment platforms, or similar environments
Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps or similar tools
Fluent English
Based in Portugal
Nice to have
Experience with payments or treasury platforms
Knowledge of financial messaging formats
ISTQB certification
Experience working in Agile environments
This role is best suited for candidates who enjoy coordination, communication, and driving testing activities across teams. It is less suited for candidates focused primarily on test automation or highly technical QA engineering roles. If you enjoy working at the intersection of business and technology, and like bringing structure to testing activities, we'd be happy to hear from you.
