The Test Environment and Data Specialist facilitates high quality software delivery in the CLM (Client Lifecycle Management) ART (Agile Release Train) by maintaining stable, compliant test environments and data. This role owns the full lifecycle of key systems (2 environments with synthetic test data and 3 environments with anonymised production data) and serves as the central contact for all operational matters on these test environments. The role thus requires strong coordination and communication skills.Working closely with development, testing, operations, and external partners, this role keeps environments available, correctly configured, synchronised, and provisioned with synthetic or anonymised data. The role also enables Scrum Teams through self service guidelines, tooling, automation, and training to accelerate delivery while ensuring quality and compliance.
