Reporting to the AVP, Platform Technology, you will lead a team of release and deployment professionals and work across Cards, Lending, Lines of Credit, Origination, Servicing, Loyalty, Product and Pricing, and shared enterprise services.
You will bring together business priorities, product roadmaps, engineering delivery, quality assurance, environments, infrastructure, cybersecurity, operations, and external partners to deliver reliable releases. This role is ideal for a senior technology leader who combines strong delivery discipline, production judgment, people leadership, and a passion for automation and continuous improvement.
What You Will Do- Own the integrated release and deployment strategy and calendar for the Credit Platform, balancing delivery pace with customer outcomes, operational stability, regulatory commitments, and technology risk.

- Oversee production implementation planning, cutover, command-centre execution, validation, recovery, stabilization, and operational handover.
- Establish risk-based readiness criteria, governance, evidence requirements, decision points, and escalation paths for releases of varying size and complexity.
- Provide objective challenge and recommend go, conditional-go, no-go, postponement, rollback, recovery, or escalation decisions to the accountable authority.
- Lead response and follow-up for release-related incidents, failed deployments, root-cause reviews, and corrective actions.
- Advance CI/CD, deployment automation, automated validation, observability, evidence capture, and release tooling to reduce manual effort and failure risk.
- Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team; set clear objectives, manage performance and capacity, and build succession and critical skills.
- Manage applicable vendors, contractors, professional services, tooling, and operating expenses.
- Communicate release confidence, risks, options, decisions, and production outcomes clearly to senior business and technology leaders.
What You Bring- An undergraduate degree, college diploma, or equivalent experience in technology, engineering, information systems, business, or a related discipline.
- Typically 10 or more years of progressive experience in technology delivery, release management, deployment management, program delivery, or production operations.
- Five or more years leading complex, multi-system releases or production deployments and three or more years of formal people leadership.
- Experience in banking, financial services, or another large, complex, highly regulated environment.
- Strong knowledge of SDLC, Agile, DevOps, IT service management, change enablement, production operations, and operational readiness.
- Demonstrated experience with implementation planning, deployment execution, rollback or recovery, production validation, and stabilization.
- Proven ability to manage cross-platform dependencies, delivery risk, third-party partners, and high-visibility executive escalations.
- Excellent executive communication, facilitation, influence, and decision-support skills.
Assets - Experience with credit cards, lending, lines of credit, origination, servicing, loyalty, product and pricing, or related banking platforms.
- Experience across mainframe, distributed, cloud, SaaS, packaged, vendor, and hybrid technology environments.
- Familiarity with Azure DevOps, GitLab, Jenkins, ServiceNow, IBM UrbanCode Deploy, or comparable tools.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code, automated testing, observability, progressive deployment, automated controls, or operational resilience.
- ITIL, SAFe, PMP, Scrum, DevOps, AWS, Microsoft Azure, or comparable certification.
How Success Will Be Measured- Safe, predictable releases with strong schedule adherence and transparent risk management.
- Improved deployment success and post-release stability, with fewer release-related incidents, failures, and rollbacks.
- Increased automation across deployments, validation, controls, and reporting.
- Strong control compliance, audit readiness, and sustainable remediation of issues.
- A capable, engaged team with effective succession, development, and capacity planning.
- High stakeholder confidence in release readiness, decision quality, and executive communication.
Leadership ProfileYou are a calm, credible, and outcomes-focused technology leader. You use evidence to make risk-based decisions, create clarity in complex environments, and build alignment across business and technology partners. You develop people, encourage constructive challenge, and improve the system rather than treating each release as a standalone event.
The ImpactYou will help the Credit Platform deliver customer and business change at pace while protecting production stability, operational resilience, regulatory commitments, and TD's risk and control objectives.
