About the position

The Sr Product Analyst, Product Testing will play a crucial role in the implementation of NBCU operations into SAP and other integrated systems. This position involves providing sound testing script development, executing tests, tracking defects, and overall test reporting. The successful candidate will engage in highly complex work that spans multiple functional areas within SAP. A key focus will be on ensuring the optimal creation and utilization of automated test scripts to support projects across various business units. The responsibilities include developing a common testing methodology and framework that can be leveraged for large projects, particularly for the S/4 program. This involves estimating testing efforts, defining goals for various testing phases (TUT, FUT, SIT, UAT, Regression testing), and establishing a standard set of KPIs to track for each test cycle. The role also requires managing testing for large SAP implementations, creating and maintaining test automations, and understanding NBCU business processes by engaging with business partners at both the enterprise and division levels. Additionally, the Sr Product Analyst will facilitate business requirement definition sessions to build effective testing strategies, ensure agreement on testing processes between Information Technologies and business users, and perform fit-gap analysis to determine optimal testing strategies. The candidate will review, participate in, and lead test activities on SAP implementations, rollouts, or upgrade projects, collaborating with peers to apply best practices in developing testing scenarios across applications (ERP, BW, BPC, and Non-SAP). Data analysis tasks will also be performed to optimize testing, and the individual will work closely with the technology team to ensure script data is current and errors are promptly addressed. Delivering high levels of customer service and maintaining continuous communication with all users is essential, as is the ability to collaborate effectively with both Business and IT teams to bridge gaps in requirement understanding and identify risks.
