The Opportunity

As a Release and Environment Management Specialist you’ll manage application releases, production changes, deployment activity and environment stability across enterprise platforms. This role sits at the point where change meets operational resilience - ensuring deployments are controlled, evidenced and safe and that environments remain stable before and after change. You’ll own delivery from planning through implementation, validation and handover while partnering closely with application, infrastructure and support teams. Day to day success is measured through high-quality change documentation, controlled deployments and clear stakeholder communication. You’ll also play a key role in reducing deployment failures, build issues and repeat incidents through strong troubleshooting and practical preventative actions. The work requires disciplined change management and the technical depth to execute deployments and site switching with care.

What you'll be doing

• Own release and environment delivery from planning through implementation, validation, closure and handover
• Create and manage change orders with 100% quality assurance against approved change requirements
• Execute code and configuration deployments across relevant environments including retrofit activities after fixes and emergency change
• Perform site switching using F5 load-balancing technology including pre-change checks and post-change validation
• Resolve deployment and release issues using fix-forward approaches in line with approved change, release, security and operational procedures
• Manage Git repositories including branch management, code promotion, merge coordination and repository hygiene
• Investigate build and pipeline issues affecting release workflows including Jenkins troubleshooting and log analysis
• Maintain environment stability through proactive checks, incident investigation, root-cause analysis and preventative actions

What we're looking for

• Bring proven experience in release management, deployment management, application support or production operations
• Demonstrate hands-on capability managing production and non-production deployments end to end
• Use Jenkins across the release workflow including pipeline execution, monitoring, troubleshooting and release validation
• Apply strong Git experience including branching and merging strategies, pull requests, code reviews, conflict resolution and traceability
• Work with WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and IBM HTTP Server (IHS) including deployment, configuration, log analysis and issue resolution
• Use AppDynamics for end-to-end application performance monitoring and service health verification
• Apply working knowledge of Ansible Automation Platform including playbook execution, job monitoring and troubleshooting
• Operate effectively within formal change-management processes including standard, emergency and retrospective changes

Deliver controlled releases at pace

If you’re looking for a role where release quality and production stability genuinely matter this is an opportunity to make that impact every day. You’ll oversee deployments that protect service health, reduce repeat issues and strengthen operational readiness through clear handovers and effective support engagement. The role offers breadth across CI/CD, middleware and environment troubleshooting with strong governance expectations and practical outcomes. If this scope matches the work you want to own we’d welcome your application.
