Release and Environment Lead

Release and Environment Lead
12 month contract

Contract opportunity for a Release and Environment Lead to maintain the integrity of enterprise pre-production environments across public and private clouds. You will bridge the gap between development and operations, ensuring multiple high-priority projects can build, test, and go-live simultaneously without friction. Our client is looking for a process-driven lead who thrives on streamlining release pipelines and collaborating with cross-functional experts.

What You Will Do:

• Establish and maintain the release and environment strategy, including configuration standards, access controls, and data refresh cycles.
• Develop a comprehensive release calendar and facilitate critical readiness reviews and Go/No-Go meetings to ensure alignment across all IT projects.
• Partner with DevOps teams to automate and enhance CI/CD pipelines while enforcing best practices and version control standards.
• Validate that all pre-production environments meet technical prerequisites, such as code versions and data integrity, before testing or deployment begins.
• Serve as the central point of contact for release status, managing risks, mitigation strategies, and rollback plans to ensure seamless transitions.

What You Need to Apply for This Role:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a closely related technical field.
• At least 5 years of experience in software release management, IT project delivery, or working within DevOps environments.
• Understanding of software development lifecycles, including Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with version control systems (like Git) and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or Bamboo.
• Experience with ITIL processes, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), and containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes) are highly regarded.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams, solve complex problems, and manage multiple priorities under pressure.
