You will build the controls, evidence and automated pathways that allow teams to deploy independently. For higher-risk or coordinated releases, you will enable the CAB to drive the go or no-go decision based on testing, security, operational readiness and business impact. In a bank being built and shipped at the same time, that judgement is critical to avoiding customer impact and regulatory concern. **WHAT YOU’LL DO** - Build and oversee a release process, enabled by automated CI/CD pipelines, supporting 20–30 feature deployments per day. - Establish risk-based release pathways so routine changes deploy automatically when defined quality, security and operational controls pass. - Coordinate major and cross-team releases across development, QA, infrastructure, security, operations and business teams. - Drive the go or no-go decisions as a CAB member for higher-risk releases using test results, defects, security findings and readiness criteria. - Embed quality, security and audit evidence into delivery pipelines, reducing manual sign-off reliance. - Ensure production validation is automated where possible, including smoke tests, health checks and critical customer journeys. - Maintain release calendar for major changes, dependencies, business events and restricted periods. - Use release and reliability metrics to improve delivery speed, quality and operational resilience. **WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR** - 7+ years in release management, software delivery, DevSecOps or change enablement. - Experience in continuous delivery, automated deployments, independently deployable services. - Working knowledge of ITIL release and change management, applied pragmatically within agile and DevSecOps environments. - Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, modern DevSecOps toolchains. - A grounding in QA, security testing, performance testing and production readiness. - Strong judgement in deciding which changes to be automated and which require additional oversight. - Financial-services and regulatory experience is valuable but not essential. **YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU** - You want a launch you can point to and know it went cleanly because of how you ran it - You treat the rollback plan as part of the release, never an afterthought - You hold the gate when a team is pushing to ship and the evidence is not there ## Apply [Apply at Envision Employment Solutions](https://apply.workable.com/envisiones/j/A6901A4983/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
