What you will achieve
- As the central contact person, you are responsible for change and release management and continuously develop processes, standards and governance.
- You are responsible for cross-functional release planning in close coordination with the deployment manager, test manager and external partners and service providers. You coordinate release content, release calendars, maintenance windows and dependencies.
- You plan, control and accompany changes and releases across multiple streams and clusters and ensure their successful implementation.
- As a hub between the cluster and stream organisation, operations and external partners, you coordinate the cross-organisational flow of information and create transparency about release progress, risks and their impacts.
- With your cross-organisational perspective, you identify risks and dependencies early, provide well-founded decision-making bases for stakeholders and contribute to successful IT delivery.
- You actively drive continuous improvements in change and release management and support the further development of our agile cluster and stream organisation.
What you bring

- Knowledge of the banking or insurance environment is an advantage. Experience with the core banking system Avaloq will facilitate your entry.
