• Partner with DevOps, infrastructure, cloud and application teams to improve release processes and drive automation.


• Champion continuous improvement across environment and release management while ensuring appropriate security and governance controls.

Skills and experience - To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Strong experience in environment management across complex on-premise, cloud and hybrid technology environments.


• Demonstrated release management experience across planning, coordination, governance and deployment activities.


• Understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, automation and ITIL change and release processes.
