- Cross-Functional Interaction: Liaise with developers, vendor teams, and market SMEs to clarify requirements and reproduce reported issues.
- Best Practices: Contribute to the continuous improvement of testing routines and the adoption of modern QA methodologies.
What you'll need:
Technical Skills & Experience
- QA Foundation: 2–4 years of proven experience in manual QA testing within an international project environment.

- ERP Exposure: Knowledge of/previous experience testing Business Central / Dynamics 365 or similar ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) is a significant advantage.
- Testing Techniques: Strong understanding of regression, exploratory, and end-to-end testing methodologies.
Communication & Competencies
- Language: High level of English proficiency (C1) is essential for interacting with global product and project teams.
