Your New Company
My client is an instantly recognisable consultancy supporting a high-profile public sector programme. You'll be joining a fast-paced delivery environment focused on the successful release and deployment of business-critical applications and services, working closely with technical teams and key stakeholders to ensure smooth, controlled releases.
Your New Role
As a Release Manager, you will own and coordinate end-to-end release cycles across AWS-hosted Java/Spring Boot services, ensuring release readiness, dependency management, quality assurance and stakeholder alignment. You'll oversee deployments through CI/CD pipelines, manage environments, coordinate release schedules and drive effective communication across delivery teams. The role will also involve ensuring governance, risk management and compliance with change-control processes, whilst continually improving release management practices across the programme. Working closely with Agile delivery teams, you'll play a key role in ensuring the successful delivery of complex technology releases within a secure public sector environment.
