  • Independently lead and manage all release schedules and deployment activities.
  • Confidently suggest and present improvements to the current Change and Release framework to senior stakeholders, driving adoption of best practices.
  • Ensure clear, timely, and effective communication across technology, business, and operations teams regarding upcoming changes and their impact.

What You'll Need to Succeed

  • Proven, in-depth experience as a Change and Release Manager, ideally within the Financial Services sector.
  • Exceptional understanding and practical application of ITIL Change Management principles and governance.
  • A self-motivated, autonomous leader who is comfortable operating and making decisions independently.
  • Demonstrable confidence in presenting, debating, and influencing senior and executive-level stakeholders on process, risk, and improvement initiatives.
  • Strong collaborative and communication skills, capable of bridging the gap between technical teams and the wider business.

Why Join This Client?

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a tangible, immediate impact by shaping and strengthening critical IT processes. You'll be valued for your expertise and given the freedom to lead and introduce valuable improvements from day one.
