IT Release Manager

IT Release Manager – Riyadh 🇸🇦

We’ve partnered with one of Riyadh’s fastest-growing e-commerce companies. After helping them hire their Delivery Director, I’m now supporting them as they scale out the delivery and release function underneath them. 🚀

After scaling rapidly over the last few years, they’re now operating multiple product squads with frequent, high-impact releases across a complex technology landscape.

This role reports directly to the Delivery Director and sits right at the centre of engineering and delivery. Your job? Own the end-to-end release lifecycle across technology teams - coordinating complex, multi-team releases, maintaining system stability, and ensuring high-quality software is delivered through well-governed CI/CD pipelines.

You’ll be hands-on with release tooling and deployments, while providing the structure, visibility, and governance needed to keep releases moving at pace in a fast-moving agile environment.

🎯 What They’re Looking For

• Agile, DevOps, delivery-first mindset — someone who truly understands modern release management in practice
• Proven experience managing complex releases across multiple engineering teams and product squads
• Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, etc.)
• Deep understanding of Git, branching strategies, and release management
• Experience executing production deployments, rollback strategies, and post-release validation
• Strong stakeholder communication skills across Engineering, Product, QA, and Operations

✨ Bonus Points For

• Experience working in high-transaction or mission-critical environments

💰 Salary: 30k SAR (tax-free)

🏥 Benefits: Private health insurance (for you + your family)

✈️ Relocation: Strong package available

They’d love someone already in Riyadh — but if you’re open to relocating, the door’s open.
