Test Lead

Project Test Lead – Wealth Management Platform Transformation

Location: Toronto (250 Yonge) – Hybrid 2–3x/week
Contract: 6 months to start (extensions likely on a multi-year program)
Interview: 1 round (45 mins) 
Start: ASAP

Role Overview

Our client is undertaking a multi-year transformation to modernize its Wealth Management technology stack by decommissioning legacy Broadridge platforms and migrating to FNZ, consolidating approximately 24 systems down to 4.

The Project Test Lead will own testing strategy and governance for one or more workstreams within the Wealth platform, ensuring regulatory, reconciliation, and operational integrity throughout the migration.

This is a true test leadership role—no hands-on execution. The successful candidate will define strategy, build test case structures from scratch, and lead tester teams through disciplined delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as Test Lead for assigned workstreams, partnering closely with business, technology, and operations stakeholders

• Define and own end-to-end test strategy for platform migration from Broadridge to FNZ

• Build test case strategy and detailed test cases from scratch using Jira

• Lead weekly touchpoints with testing teams to track progress, risks, and defects

• Ensure testing coverage from a wealth management, regulatory, reconciliation, and reporting perspective

• Oversee testing related to backend functions, including:

• Settlements

• Deposits

• Custodians

• Trade flow and post-trade operations
