We do things a bit differently here

Ando is a multi-lines insurance business and sell our policies through New Zealand’s leading insurance brokers.

At Ando we believe that the fundamental purpose and function of insurance is to help people reduce their losses when bad things happen. That’s why at Ando we’ve always believed in the importance of treating your insurance as a relationship, not a transaction. And why our purpose is to positively impact the wellbeing of New Zealanders.

The role

We’re looking for a motivated Test Analyst to join our team on a 12 month fixed term contract.

We're growing rapidly and embracing technology to achieve our connectivity business goals. This role will play a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our products by taking ownership of testing activities across projects. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in manual and API testing, meticulous planning and estimation skills, and a proactive approach to learning automation. This role requires the ability to work autonomously while delivering efficient testing deliverables.

If you thrive in a collaborative, fresh-thinking team and have a ‘can do’ attitude, then we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Risk identification and mitigation through robust test planning, analysis, and accurate work/resource estimation.

• Defining the scope of testing required for individual items and overall releases.
• Writing and executing detailed test scripts, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
• Developing and enhancing a suite of regression test cases and a test library to encourage effective reuse.
• Conducting thorough manual testing, with a strong focus on API testing, to validate functionality, performance, and integration.
• Supporting the business throughout the UAT process and overall UAT management as required.
• Identifying opportunities to continually enhance and improve our test capability.

Qualifications and experience

• 7+ years of strong testing experience, with a focus on manual and API testing.
• Proven experience in meticulous planning, estimation of work activities, and managing testing deliverables.
• Experience working across core platforms.
• Appropriate and relevant IT industry qualifications, e.g. ISTQB.
• Experience in performing full end-to-end testing.
• Exposure to automation testing with a willingness to learn and develop further in this area.
• Working knowledge of software development/testing tools e.g., Jira and Confluence.
• Experience working in an Agile delivery environment is a plus.
• Domain insurance experience is also a big plus.

Want to surround yourself with great people?

We’re proud that we’re a bit different from regular insurance companies – knowing it’s our people and their relationships who make that difference. We know when to work hard, be focused and smart, but we also never underestimate the importance of the human connections that make us tick and get along together.
