UAT - Business Acceptance Delivery Lead

We are partnering with a leading financial services organisation to engage an experienced Senior UAT / Business Acceptance Delivery Lead to support a large enterprise regulatory change program entering critical delivery phases.

This is a business-side delivery role, leading structured Business Acceptance and UAT across multiple releases impacting finance, risk and regulatory reporting outcomes. It is not a traditional IT PM role or execution-only testing position.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end Business Acceptance Testing (BAT/UAT) across regulatory releases
• Define acceptance strategy, scope, governance and entry/exit criteria
• Coordinate Finance, Risk, Operations and Technology stakeholders
• Manage risks, dependencies and delivery timelines across releases
• Drive defect governance, prioritisation and resolution forums
• Support implementation readiness and business go-live acceptance

What you will bring:

• Proven delivery experience within financial services regulatory or risk change
• Strong ownership of UAT / Business Acceptance delivery
• Experience across complex data, finance or regulatory reporting programs
• Ability to operate between business stakeholders and technology teams
• Strong governance, planning and stakeholder engagement capability

Backgrounds that align well:

• UAT Delivery Lead
• Business Acceptance Lead
• Regulatory Delivery Manager with UAT/BAT experience
• Senior BA (UAT/regulatory focus)

In return, you will join a high-visibility regulatory program delivering business-critical outcomes, with strong senior stakeholder exposure and long-term program runway. You'll work in a collaborative environment, partnering across business, risk, finance and technology teams.
