Release Manager (f/m/x)

EVEN IN IT, PEOPLE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT.

SHARE YOUR PASSION.

Networks are about more than just IT. They are about connecting people who make things possible. Close teamwork is key to understanding how IT can help integrate processes into systems. We put this insight into practice, and it's part of our success. 

We coordinate the planning and implementation of software rollouts across the defined releases of a pan European IT ecosystem. Our Team monitors planned changes to IT systems and ensure that all aspects of a release are considered altogether (functional and non-functional). The main objective is to enable with software releases and at the same time protect the quality and stability of the end-to-end integrated test and production environments of the IT ecosystem, by using formal procedures and control mechanisms.

What awaits you?

• You will establish relevant processes, governance roles and boards to holistically conduct the release management.
• You will coordinate all activities related to the introduction of new software releases across the IT ecosystem.
• As part of your job, you will define prerequisites for DevOps teams and establish processes for traceable and incident-free release bundles and release approval criteria for both productive and non-productive environments.
• You will coordinate release planning, define release versioning, and release milestones for each phase of the project.
• You will define and align with DevOps teams’ deployment windows and establish a release management calendar for the project.
• You will implement and track the release management approach in our Agile Tool Chain tools (e.g. JIRA, Confluence).
• You will validate release notes against the project’s scope and check release dependencies across the project.
• You will manage the interface to other overarching release management teams (e.g. BMW Bank).
• You will conduct the release approval (go /no-go decision) under the consideration of agreed acceptance criteria, dependencies to parallel projects and the IT environments calendar.
• You will manage the release communication, establish, and lead a release management network and community of practice, comprising release managers from DevOps teams across the project.
