  • Ensure environments are ready for all testing phases including SIT, UAT, regression, and cutover
  • Manage environment refreshes, test data provisioning, and data masking requirements
  • Identify and mitigate environment-related risks, issues, and dependencies
  • Act as the central coordination point between delivery teams, system integrators, infrastructure, and DevOps
  • Support governance, change control, and release processes to minimise business disruption
