Are you an experienced technology professional who thrives on bringing people, processes, and delivery teams together to ensure successful change outcomes? We have an exciting opportunity for a Release Manager to join our Release & Environments Team in a 12 months fixed term contract with potential extension or permanency.
This is a key role responsible for planning, coordinating, and governing technology releases across projects, products and BAU change initiatives. You'll work closely with engineering, delivery, testing, security, operations, and business stakeholders to ensure every release is well planned, appropriately governed, and delivered safely with minimal disruption.
As the Release Manager, you'll play a critical role in ensuring technology releases are implemented successfully through robust planning, readiness assessments, risk management, stakeholder engagement, and release execution activities.
Working within the Bank's Release Management frameworks, you'll manage release activities across multiple teams and vendors while providing clear leadership through implementation events and high-impact delivery windows.
You are a highly organised and collaborative Release Manager with a strong understanding of technology delivery and change governance. You can confidently coordinate complex releases, manage competing priorities, and remain calm under pressure during critical implementation activities.
You have a proven ability to bring diverse stakeholder groups together, identify risks early, and drive successful release outcomes through structured planning and communication.
