The role

As a Release and Environment Manager, you’ll take ownership of a newly created position where you’ll bring structure and governance to our software release function.

  • Leading the implementation and enhancement of CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, managing environment configurations, and maintaining clear documentation including release notes, deployment runbooks, and rollback plans.
  • Supporting post-release validation activities and contributing to the continuous improvement of release processes, tooling and governance frameworks, and championing best practice.

What We’re Looking For

  • Demonstrable experience of having successfully undertaken Release Management or Environment Management responsibilities.
  • Solid understanding of environment management and configuration – ideally with Power Platform experience.
  • Experience using Azure DevOps or a similar platform, including pipelines, repositories and work item tracking, to support automated deployment processes.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to chair meetings and facilitate go/no-go decisions.
