Enterprise Release Manager

Enterprise Release Manager

Accountable for enterprise release governance, assurance and coordination across cloud, data, integration platforms and multiple Lines of Business workloads.

Responsibilities

• Define and orchestrate integrated release planning across cloud data and integration platforms and multiple LoB workloads, ensuring runbooks, release communications, monitoring, validation, PIR and handover activities are complete.
• Maintain an enterprise release calendar and forward view of platform and dependent workload changes.
• Identify, track and actively manage release dependencies, integration points and planning risks.
• Champion an automation‐first release management approach.
• Integrate with existing ASX Change Management, Release Policies and Change Approval Board and drive continuous improvements in enterprise release management standards, operating rhythms and governance forums.
• Define and report release and health measures (e.g., success rate, change failure rate, deployment time, readiness quality) and use insights to drive improvement.
• Provide clear, timely and decision‐ready reporting to leadership on release readiness, risk posture, dependency conflicts, control gaps, environment constraints and production readiness.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in enterprise release management, complex delivery orchestration, DevOps, or platform engineering roles with demonstrable accountability for release governance.
• Strong experience coordinating releases across multiple interdependent teams and technology domains, including cloud and platform teams.
• Proven track record establishing or materially uplifting release management capability (frameworks, governance, operating rhythms, tooling) in complex enterprise environments.
• Experience working in highly regulated environments with strong change control expectations, audit needs, and clear accountability for risk and operational outcomes.
• Strong working knowledge of modern delivery practices (CI/CD, automated testing, deployment strategies, rollback approaches) and experience uplifting automation and standard patterns across teams.
• Accountability for the release management process within your remit – comfortable owning release risk outcomes and escalating issues early when controls or readiness are insufficient.
• Cross‐team coordination – thrives on coordinating many moving parts across platform teams, workloads and enterprise priorities, aligning schedules and dependencies.
• Automation mindset – seeks to remove manual intervention and strengthen automation through repeatable processes, tooling, and engineered quality gates.
• Clear, disciplined communication – translates technical release complexity into concise, decision‐ready information for leadership and delivery teams.
