As our portfolio Release Manager you are responsible for establishing, maintaining, applying and improving the release processes for our Engineering releases. To get there you work with all of our Engineering teams as well as our Product Organization to bring clarity, visibility and transparency to processes, deliverables and timelines, and to help us release successfully.
You will be our first dedicated release manager as we establish the practice and shift related tasks away from Product Owners, which means you will be able to make an impact instantly with lots of room to shape our release practices.
Responsibilities
- Establish and manage a consistent continuous release management processes, tools, and checklists
- Track and report on the progress of our releases
- Communicate all key plans, commitments, and changes
- Coordinate our quarterly minor and yearly major releases together with our engineering teams and VPs of Engineering, including making sure all deliverables (e.g. feature overviews, quality reports…) are available and accurate
- Coordinate management and communication of risks and dependencies across the release
Requirements
- Professional experience in Agile Release Management in an Enterprise context
- Understanding of agile and classic development processes and tools
- Solid knowledge of Atlassian Jira and Confluence
- Project management experience
- Technical understanding of complex software projects/products
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills
- The desire to navigate the conflict that comes from a high-growth start-up heritage applied to an Enterprise product with its needs for structure, clarity and predictability
- Proficiency in problem solving and troubleshooting the process
- Ability to handle multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
Having been in a similar situation of increasing a B2B company’s release process maturity to match Enterprise requirements is helpful but not a must.
What we offer
We keep things open, agile and communicative. It is all based on trust, not micromanaging. The whole department is located together in one office in beautiful Berlin, however due to the current situation we work and onboard 100% remotely to keep our employees safe.
Our team members are self-organized within their teams, working on independent projects or closely with Product Leads, developers and UX designers. We value your thoughts and ideas and will give you the freedom to push and implement them!
We offer competitive salaries and support personal growth with functional in-house coaching and a personal development budget that includes three days off per year. You will gain –and share –knowledge during recurring learning groups, jours fixes and our annual Code Camp.
You are free to use the OS of your choice, the tooling you are comfortable with and set up your workspace the way you like it. Signavio will support you with all the necessary office equipment, even when working from home!
We get that balancing a family and work can be a challenge, so everyone gets flexible working hours and 30 days of holidays per year. Moreover, Signavio will support you in case of relocation and visa application.
*Do I need to meet all the requirements to apply?*
Studies by several different sources have shown that, on average, men will apply for a job if they meet 60% of the application requirements. In contrast, women/non-binary people will seek to match a much higher percentage of the requirements before applying.
We encourage everyone to apply and give us a chance to evaluate your skills and experience. We are all learning on the job, and although the listing above has been carefully compiled, we are also open-minded and interested to hear about the value you can bring to the role and Signavio.
*How can I demonstrate that I have particular needs in the application process?*
For people living with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or neurodiversity, adjustments and support can make a decisive difference in the application process. If you need any specific accommodations (tools, time, etc.) and feel comfortable disclosing this, please let us know.
