Job Description:
As a Change and Release Analyst, you’ll ensure efficient and effective IT Change and Release Management practices are followed, whilst delivering an exceptional service to Newcastle Building Society and Newcastle Strategic Solutions by delivering against the change enablement and release management practices.
You’ll coordinate the safe transition of software changes between development, test, and live environments, acting as an escalation point when dealing with expectations, alongside facilitating and planning for the implementation of change and release by utilising the expertise of agile and traditional technical teams.
The IT Change Enablement practice provides our colleagues with the necessary support alongside the tools, processes, and strategies to help the business adapt and transition to change within an organisation. It also involves managing risk with the right controls to keep disruptions to services to a minimum whilst enabling change.
About You
You’ll have previous experience working with Change & Release, ensuring IT Change and Release management practices are followed, alongside the ability to understand complex technical environments and take ownership of deployment activities.
You should have a strong background in governance and Change Enablement, with a focus on innovation and improvement, and a desire to drive transformation within the function. The role requires adaptability in communication, negotiation skills, and the ability to analyze complex data sets to identify control gaps. Knowledge of Agile and DevOps frameworks, or an ITIL Foundation qualification, would be desirable but not essential.
