## Description

_**Envision Employment Solutions**_ _is currently looking for an_ _**IT Release Manager**_ _for one of our partners, a leading Digital Bank!_

**THE ROLE**

You shape how the digital bank releases safely and at speed. 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
