  • Support design decisions that prioritise simplicity, reliability, and ease of use.

Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Develop and execute structured UAT plans, including writing and running test cases, validating fixes, and ensuring releases meet agreed quality standards before deployment.

    • Programme Managers (programme direction and decision-making)

    • Operations and field teams (deployment realities)

    • Academics and training teams (pedagogical alignment)

Process Improvement & Knowledge Management

  • Identify recurring issues and suggest improvements to programme design and workflows.

  • Support consistency and reuse of templates, structures, and best practices across projects.

Required Skills

  • Strong structured thinking and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to translate ideas into clear documentation such as requirements, workflows, and test cases

  • Good coordination and execution skills; prior experience supporting projects or programmes is a plus

  • Comfortable working with detail and managing multiple tasks at the same time

  • Willingness to take initiative and work independently while collaborating with teams

  • Adaptable and able to work in evolving or ambiguous environments

  • Basic understanding of testing and quality assurance; experience with UAT is an advantage

  • Clear written and verbal communication skills

  • Fluency in English and Urdu (Mandatory)
