What You9ll Do

Cross-Team Coordination
  • Serve as the central coordination point between product managers, engineers, designers, curriculum, and QA
  • Run release ceremonies including go/no-go calls, launch reviews, and post-launch retrospectives
  • Proactively surface blockers, dependencies, and risks before they derail a release
  • Keep stakeholders informed with clear, concise status updates - no surprises
Process & Documentation

  • Maintain release documentation including schedules, decision logs, and post-mortems
  • Work with QA to ensure testing timelines are built into the release plan from the start
  • Identify process gaps and propose improvements that increase team velocity and confidence
What you bring

  • Understanding of escalation pathways and have experience being an on-call for a live-service product
  • Experience coordinating releases that include content, media assets, or third-party integrations alongside feature work
