Release Manager

Release Manager, Mobile Application | Doha, Qatar

We’re supporting a major client in Qatar on a national digital services programme that brings services from multiple government and private-sector entities into a single citizen-facing mobile app. The app is updated on a fixed two-week cycle, and we need a Release Manager to own it.

What you’ll do

• Own the fortnightly release calendar, from scope cut-off through to deployment and stabilization
• Run change approval and chair release readiness reviews, with the final go/no-go call
• Manage App Store and Google Play submissions, staged rollouts, and versioning
• Keep the app and the backend services behind it released in step across the vendor, the integration layer, and connected entities
• Plan for failure: rollback, hotfix, and emergency release paths
• Report release performance to programme leadership

What you’ll bring

• 6-8+ years in Release Management.
• Hands-on experience releasing a mobile app through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
• Experience on a large, multi-vendor, multi-stakeholder programme
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and tooling such as Azure Dev Ops
• ITIL change and release practices, applied lightly enough to support a two-week cycle
• Clear communication with both technical teams and non-technical leadership
• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related field
• ITIL 4, Agile/Scrum or Dev Ops certification, and government or regulated-sector experience.
