Are you ready to lead change and shape the future of a key public sector organisation?

This organisation is embarking on an exciting journey to digitalise and transform into a smart, agile operation — fully embracing technologies and modern ways of working.

They now have a pivotal opportunity for a hands-on Salesforce Release Manager to join the team and help deliver strategic change programmes with a focus on agile delivery, CI/CD, and platform governance.

Role Overview

As a Salesforce Release Manager, you’ll manage the end-to-end release cycle of Salesforce applications supporting mission-critical functions. You’ll be key in release planning, deployment, and support, collaborating with delivery teams and stakeholders across the organisation.

In this hands-on role, you’ll:

• Plan and coordinate complex releases across multiple teams and sprints.
• Manage and execute Salesforce deployments with minimal disruption.
• Implement governance and change control processes to safeguard environment integrity.
• Oversee regression testing, post-deployment validation, and support.
• Maintain release documentation using Azure DevOps and Confluence.
• Work closely with developers, QA, and DevOps teams to ensure smooth CI/CD processes.

Experience and Background

We seek a candidate who thrives on delivery, is hands-on with tooling and configuration, and has the technical depth to collaborate with developers and DevOps engineers.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience managing Salesforce releases using tools like Azure DevOps (highly desirable), Salesforce DX, Gearset, CLI, or ANT Migration Tool.
• Practical familiarity with Azure DevOps, including Pipelines, Repos, Test Plans, and SonarQube for code quality.
• Experience working with VS Code and relevant extensions (Salesforce CLI, code analysis extensions).
• A background in software development is highly desirable — understanding developer workflows will help you excel.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts and automation in Salesforce deployment pipelines.
• Knowledge of multiple Salesforce Clouds and their release nuances.

Experience with alternative tooling or platforms is valued — candidates adaptable to cross-tool environments are encouraged to apply.

Why Join?

This is a unique opportunity to lead a significant digital transformation. Join a supportive, innovative environment where your contributions make a difference to the organisation and communities served.

Enjoy a generous Civil Service pension, flexible hybrid working, and a collaborative culture—an ideal platform for career growth and impact.
