Key Responsibilities

Define and enforce quality gates for IaC and platform changes (test strategy, regression coverage, environment promotion rules, peer review standards). Run release readiness and post-release validation (cutover checklists, smoke tests, monitoring verification, incident triage during release windows). Establish standards for release documentation and evidence capture (change records, test results, approvals, deployment traceability) aligned to control requirements. Coordinate dependencies across IAM, networking, security/compliance, platform engineering, and application teams; drive timely decisioning and escalation. Identify recurring release defects and process gaps; lead continuous improvement (root cause, corrective actions, automation of checks). Define operational handoffs (runbooks, support model, SLAs, knowledge base) and ensure teams are production-ready.
