In this role you will ensure every release meets quality, security, and compliance standards before reaching production.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a fast-moving environment. We value leaders who lead from the front - setting direction while staying close to the details. You'll build frameworks, coach teams, and contribute directly alongside the people you lead.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:- Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, or equivalent experience.
- Experience: Minimum 3+ years in release management, DevOps management, or deployment engineering roles.
- Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release governance.

- Understanding of rollback strategies, blue/green deployments, canary releases, and feature flags.
- Strong understanding of QA processes, regression testing, and production monitoring.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred) and containerized deployments.
- Strong organizational and communication skills - able to coordinate across multiple teams under time pressure.
- Experience in insurance or financial services technology is a plus.
- ITIL, DevOps, or release management certifications are a plus.
- Demonstrated player/coach leadership style - you set the strategy AND roll up your sleeves to execute. You're comfortable building the first version of a process, template, or deliverable yourself rather than waiting for your team to be in place.
