Our vision is a world where everyone has a healthier heart for longer. Through pioneering research, campaigning and support services, we're helping people live longer, healthier lives.
As our technology landscape continues to evolve, we're looking for a Release, Deployment and Environment Manager to play a critical role in ensuring technology change is delivered safely, efficiently and with the right governance in place.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced technology professional to establish and lead release, deployment and environment management across a complex estate that includes Dynamics 365, Azure services, Adobe Experience Cloud and multiple supplier-delivered platforms.

Key responsibilities include:
- Owning and operating the release governance framework and integrated release calendar.
- Leading release planning and readiness forums with internal teams and external suppliers.
- Making informed Go/No-Go recommendations based on risk, readiness and business impact.
- Establishing and maintaining effective environment governance across development, test and production landscapes.
- Ensuring release and deployment activities meet security, operational readiness and audit requirements.
- Coordinating multiple suppliers and stakeholders to deliver technology change safely and efficiently.
- Driving continuous improvement through release metrics, reporting and post-release reviews.
