Release Manager – Financial Technology – Peterborough / Hybrid
(Key skills: Release Manager, SDLC, Agile, Scrum, Change Management, Risk Mitigation, Deployment Coordination, Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, Jenkins, Power BI, Financial Services, Software Delivery, Stakeholder Communication)
Are you a detail-driven Release Manager with a passion for structured change and high-impact delivery? Do you thrive in complex environments where risk mitigation, collaboration, and precision are critical to business success? If you're looking to take your career to the next level within a dynamic fintech environment, this opportunity could be ideal.
Our client is a well-established financial services organisation undergoing continued investment in its technology platforms and operational processes. They are now seeking a Release Manager to oversee the planning, coordination and execution of software releases across business-critical systems that serve wealth management, investment operations and regulatory reporting functions.
This is a pivotal role, sitting at the heart of a multidisciplinary software delivery ecosystem. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the smooth and secure transition of code from development through to production, safeguarding operational stability while enabling innovation across the firm’s technology landscape. This includes managing release schedules, coordinating across Agile teams, validating changes through structured approval workflows, and leading the communication of deployment timelines and risks.
To be successful in this role, you will bring at least three years of experience in release management or a similar delivery-focused role, ideally within financial services, fintech, or other regulated environments. You’ll be confident working with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban), familiar with collaboration and documentation tools such as Jira, Confluence and SharePoint, and experienced in managing cross-team dependencies and change control processes. While not essential, exposure to CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins), scaled Agile models or BI tools such as Power BI will be considered strong assets.
The ideal candidate will be a proactive communicator, a confident coordinator, and someone who can calmly navigate the demands of high-stakes releases in a fast-moving financial environment. You’ll be comfortable engaging with stakeholders across technology, product and operations, while maintaining control over complex release schedules and ensuring quality standards are met at every stage.
If you’re looking to contribute to the backbone of a forward-thinking financial services business — ensuring secure, well-governed deployments and supporting Agile transformation — this role offers a unique platform to grow and deliver meaningful impact.
