Test Automation Lead

Excellent command of the Dutch language is essential for this position. A C1 level is required, with B2 being the minimum acceptable proficiency level.

Do you want to grow into the very best version of yourself as a Test Automation Lead? At Sogeti, you will join the largest Test Automation community in the Netherlands. You will work together with driven colleagues who challenge, inspire, and strengthen one another. Together, we build innovation. Think of inspiration sessions and our Test Automation Fridays, but even beyond that, knowledge sharing is a natural part of how we work.

As a Test Automation Lead, you are the technical trailblazer. You develop a future-proof automation strategy, elevate teams technically to a higher level, and ensure that quality becomes a structural part of choices and decision-making. At the same time, you know that technology never stands still, and therefore neither do you. That is why we continuously invest in your development. With our in-house training, you will stay ahead of the curve in the latest developments, such as AI and other innovations within automation. And do you want to share your expertise yourself? Then you will have plenty of room to give workshops, provide knowledge sessions, and promote your vision within the community. That is how we grow together.

At our clients, you make an impact as a Test Automation Lead by sharing and implementing your vision on test automation. You look beyond a single team or a single process; you can look across teams and processes at test automation and develop a vision and strategy at that level. Subsequently, you can bring all stakeholders along in this and coach them. You think along and advise on process improvements and, like no one else, you know how test automation can be made future-proof.

You can take leadership and coach other colleagues in the field of test automation. You are also not afraid to take ownership and show initiative. Furthermore, it is important that you have an interest in innovations, such as the use of Gen AI as a supplement within test automation, for example. You can brainstorm with colleagues about the opportunities of AI, but also remain critical about the practical possibilities.
