As part of our digital transformation roadmap, we are seeking a skilled Delivery Lead to oversee the planning, coordination, and governance of our software deployment process across platforms.
Role Overview
As Delivery Lead, you would own the end-to-end release management lifecycle, including planning, scheduling, and controlling software builds, ensuring that quality standards are met and risks are mitigated.

- Coordinate all activities related to software releases across development, UAT, staging, and production environments.
- Establish and enforce release governance, including quality assurance gates, rollback protocols, and change management processes.
- Lead release readiness reviews, Go/No-Go meetings, and post-mortems.
- Manage release documentation, risk logs, sign-offs, and reporting for internal and regulatory stakeholders.
- Work with DevOps and Infrastructure to ensure CI/CD pipelines are aligned with release objectives.
- Champion automated release management tools and practices, aligning with security and compliance requirements.
- Ensure clear communication of release scope, timelines, dependencies, and change impacts across all stakeholders.
- Track release metrics and KPIs to continuously improve cycle time and deployment success rates.
