• Planning and assigning tasks to the V&V team, ensuring alignment with project quality, cost, and delivery targets.

• Developing test procedures based on functional requirements and preparing test scripts (preferably with VB.NET).

• Executing manual and automated test scripts, analyzing results, and generating detailed test reports.

• Identifying and reporting any defects found during V&V activities and ensuring corrected change requests are verified and closed.

• Raising technical or delivery-related risks to the V&V Manager.

• Demonstrating agility and flexibility by working on or switching between multiple projects as needed.
