Full Job Description

Crew Clothing is building a new internal integration team to own how our systems connect. As QA and Delivery Planner, you will be the person who makes sure we deliver well - that requirements are tested, releases are controlled, and commercial decisions are never made on untested work. This is a dual role: part structured quality assurance, part delivery planning. You will own the testing process for integration work across three major programmes - our eCommerce platform, a new warehouse platform, and our new ERP platform - and you will run the team's sprint cadence, keeping delivery on track and surfacing risks early. This is a new capability for the integration team. You will define how we test and how we deliver, not inherit someone else's approach. What it involves:

  • Own the integration testing plan across all active programmes - defining test cases, acceptance criteria and sign-off processes for each integration
  • Lead OMS (Order Management System) UAT - working with business stakeholders to ensure our eCommerce OMS meets all agreed requirements before go-live
  • Run the integration team's sprint cadence - planning fortnightly sprints, tracking progress against the delivery plan, and raising blockers early
  • Produce and maintain the delivery plan - keeping a clear view of what is built, what is being tested, and what is outstanding across all programmes
  • Own the go/no-go recommendation at each integration release milestone - providing a clear quality assessment before any system goes live
  • Manage the integration requirements backlog - working with the Technical Lead and business stakeholders to keep requirements prioritised and up to date
  • Produce clear, concise status reporting for the Programme Lead and IT Director - flagging risks, blockers and progress in plain language
  • Coordinate with third-party delivery partners (our eCommerce delivery partner, our ERP delivery partner, our logistics partner) on integration testing schedules and shared test environments, If successful, you will join a small integration team led by a Technical Lead, alongside an Integration Developer. The team sits within the wider Crew Clothing IT function, reporting to the Director of Technology through the Technical Lead.
  • Your work will touch three major concurrent programmes - our eCommerce platform, a new warehouse partner, and our new ERP platform. The integration team is building something new: internal ownership of how Crew's systems connect, rather than reliance on external partners. Your role ensures we deliver that reliably and without risk to the business.

  • Proven experience in a QA, test management or delivery coordination role within a technology programme
  • Experience writing test plans, test cases and acceptance criteria for API or system integrations
  • Comfortable running sprint ceremonies - planning sessions, stand-ups, retrospectives - in an agile or hybrid delivery environment
  • Strong organisational skills - you track everything, chase everything, and nothing falls through the gap
  • Excellent communication skills - you can summarise complex technical delivery status in plain language for a non-technical audience
  • Experience working on eCommerce, ERP or logistics programmes is a strong advantage
  • A collaborative, methodical approach - you work well with developers, business stakeholders and external partners
  • Familiarity with test management tools (Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar) is beneficial

    Crew Clothing Company is a British lifestyle brand operating across four brands - Crew Clothing, Pringle of Scotland, Saltrock and Ben Sherman - with 130+ Crew stores, a growing digital channel and an omnichannel customer experience. We are in the middle of a significant technology transformation: a new eCommerce platform, a new third-party logistics partner, and an upgrade to our ERP platform, all running concurrently and targeting delivery before the end of 2027.
  • Our IT team is small and highly capable. We are building an internal integration function that will own how all our systems connect - and this role is at the foundation of that team.
