Senior Release Manager

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Release Manager to join our Engineering team. You’ll play a major role in the planning and execution of our Cyber Sense product releases, coordinating delivery across multiple scrum and test teams throughout the SDLC to ensure features and releases land on time and at high quality. You’ll partner with Engineering, Product Management, and other stakeholders to align on scope and readiness, track and communicate status and risks, and prepare go/no‑go decisions.

• Plan and execute product releases across multiple scrum teams, from sprint outputs through go‑live.
• Work with Product and Engineering leads to finalize release and feature scope.
• Partner with test leaders to coordinate hardening and stabilization work that ensures releases ship on time and at high quality.
• Track features and releases from grooming through testing. Build Jira and Confluence reports and dashboards that capture progress and health across all stages of feature development and releases.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, QA engineers, and program managers.
• Manage cross‑team dependencies and integration timing so work lands together cleanly.
• Continuously improve release processes, delivery metrics, and communications across both scaled‑agile and plan‑driven work — internally and externally.
• Lead feature and release readiness reviews, surfacing status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly.
• Surface risks early and drive them to resolution or escalation.

• 7+ years in release, program, or project management on complex software products.
• Deep understanding of the SDLC, from requirements to delivery.
• A track record of managing releases end‑to‑end across multiple teams, including planning, readiness reviews, and production deployments.
• Solid command of Scrum, SAFe, and Waterfall, and the judgment to know which principles to apply to each situation.
• Experience coordinating multiple scrum teams: dependencies, integration, release readiness.
• Fluent in Jira and Confluence, including building effective reports and dashboards.
• Strong risk instincts — you catch problems early and resolve them.
• Clear communicator across engineering, product, executives, and partners.
• Ability to drive accountability without direct authority.

• PMP, CSM, PSM, or SAFe certifications.
• Experience in scaled agile environments.
• A background in software engineering, QA, or Dev Ops.
• Experience with release trains, program increments, or dedicated hardening cycles.
• Familiarity with CI/CD and modern branching strategies.
• Experience shipping combined software and hardware/appliance products.

• Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Hybrid working environment: WFH Mondays and Fridays.
• 401(k).
• Opportunities for professional development and certification support.
• Collaborative team environment with a mission‑driven culture.
