About the role and what you ll be doing:

- As a Release Manager, you ll work as part of a delivery project team supporting a major database modernisation programme. The project is focused on migrating production databases away from Oracle to cloud database equivalents such as PostgreSQL, with a solid emphasis on safe, controlled and well-governed cutovers.
- You ll be responsible for organising, managing and supporting production database cutovers, ensuring that each release is planned in detail, clearly communicated, fully rehearsed where appropriate, and executed in line with existing client s release process and agreed governance, risk and change controls. The technical execution of the cutover will be performed by the DBA and engineering teams, with the Release Manager coordinating activity, tracking progress, managing communications and supporting decision-making throughout the release window.
- The role will require close collaboration with Delivery Manager, Database Engineers, Network Engineers, application teams, Service Owners, business stakeholders and operations teams to coordinate dependencies, manage readiness, drive go/no-go decisions and support smooth transition into production.
- Production releases are expected to take place during weekend windows, typically on Sunday mornings in US Eastern Time. The working pattern for this role is therefore expected to be Thursday to Monday, allowing sufficient time for readiness activities, weekend execution, post-cutover validation and early-life support.

Relevant Experience Required

- 6 to 10 years experience in database engineering, database migration, platform consultancy, release management or a closely related technical delivery role.
- Experience supporting heterogeneous database migrations, ideally including Oracle to PostgreSQL or equivalent cloud database platforms.
- Experience delivering into a repeatable, high-volume migration programme rather than solely one-off projects.
- Experience owning a workstream end to end, including knowing when to delegate, when to escalate and how to maintain delivery momentum.
- Experience working on large programmes with multiple teams collaborating across organisational boundaries.
- Experience of production cutovers under formal change control, such as a Change Advisory Board or equivalent client governance process.
- A track record in consultancy,



managed services or nearshore delivery, working directly with client teams rather than at arm s length.
- Experience coaching or mentoring engineers or delivery team members.
- Demonstrable experience of planned out-of-hours and weekend release work.
- A degree in a computing discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Must be able to pass background screening before being granted client system access.
