Product Release Manager

About the Job

In the role of Product Release Manager, you will have the opportunity to build and develop a company-wide release management system across all products. This role carries a high level of responsibility for synchronizing the delivery of functionality across products, teams, and technology domains. We are looking for a proactive individual who can ensure predictable and controlled delivery in a complex, multidisciplinary environment and contribute to improving products used in real combat conditions.

What is your Day-to-Day Mission

• Owner of the Release Management Lifecycle:build, develop, and continuously improve the release process for new capabilities across the company, based on metrics, transparency, and business objectives.
• Release planning:define and maintain aligned release schedules together with Product Managers/Owners, considering product strategies and cross-product dependencies.
• Cross-product delivery coordination:manage dependencies across teams (HW, Embedded, Platform, UI, etc.), ensuring synchronization of capabilities delivered within a single release.
• Risk management:identify grey areas, technical and organizational risks, and cross-team dependencies, ensuring timely mitigation.
• Execution tracking (PI / delivery tracking):monitor progress of planned capabilities, proactively escalate deviations, and support decision-making on descoping or reprioritization.
• Release delivery:ensure alignment between product owners, development, and testing teams regarding integration, testing timelines, and release documentation standards (implementation notes, release notes, user manuals, etc.).
• Release readiness:organize and lead readiness reviews (integration readiness, test readiness), contributing to Go/No-Go recommendations.
• Metrics and transparency:build and maintain a metrics system to evaluate delivery performance (predictability, lead time, release success rate), ensuring transparent reporting to stakeholders.
• Process alignment:facilitate consistent planning and delivery practices across teams without direct ownership of product backlog or product decisions.

What You Bring to the Team

• Experience:3+ years of experience in Release Management, Program Management, or Delivery Management within complex engineering products.
• Agile practice:hands-on experience working in Agile environments. Experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach is a plus but not the primary responsibility of this role. Familiarity with SAFe (e.g., RTE) is an advantage.
• Tooling:strong proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and a solid understanding of backlog and delivery management practices.
• Systemsthinking: ability to operate within complex systems and understand dependencies between hardware and software components.
• Soft skills:strong problem-solving, facilitation, and decision-making skills in high-uncertainty environments.
• Communication:ability to effectively coordinate across multiple products, teams, and functions.
• Technical background:willingness and ability to dive into technical details as needed to manage dependencies and risks.
• Languages:fluent English.
