Tasks

Release ownership

• Build and maintain release plans covering scope, milestones, go/no-go criteria, and cross-team dependencies

• Tooling: Git, JIRA/Notion/ Confluence or equivalent, ability to build actionable release dashboards
• Ability to translate release management needs into back-office feature backlog

Soft skills

• Rigorous in tracking and documentation
