Release & Environments Manager - Salesforce
I'm currently working with a large, globally operating organisation that is in the middle of a significant Salesforce transformation programme, and they're looking to bring in an experienced Release & Environments Manager to support the delivery.
This role will sit at the centre of the programme, focusing on release governance, environment coordination, and supplier management. It's not a hands-on technical role - the focus is on ensuring structure, control, and clear communication across multiple suppliers and parallel workstreams so releases can be delivered safely and predictably.
Key Responsibilities
Release Management & Governance
* Oversee the end-to-end release management process across the Salesforce platform and connected systems.
* Lead release readiness meetings, making sure runbooks, deployment steps, rollback plans, and testing sign-offs are all in place before releases go ahead.
* Ensure suppliers are following the correct release processes and governance frameworks.
* Coordinate release activities across multiple teams and suppliers.
* Manage the environment booking calendar and resolve contention across development and testing teams.
* Coordinate usage of environments across SIT, UAT, regression testing, and other project activities.
* Ensure environments are stable, correctly configured, and available when required.
* Manage environment refresh cycles and maintenance windows.
* Work closely with Systems Integrators and third-party suppliers, holding them accountable for environment setup, deployments, and DevOps processes.
* Coordinate dependencies across multiple suppliers and workstreams.
* Challenge suppliers where needed and ensure delivery standards are being met.
Data & Integration Coordination
* Make sure environments contain appropriate and aligned data for testing and integration activities.
* Work closely with data and testing teams to address data quality and data alignment challenges.
* Ensure integration dependencies between Salesforce and other systems are understood and managed.
* Oversee readiness of integrations ahead of releases.
Requirements
* Experience in release management, environment management, or delivery governance, ideally within Salesforce or another complex platform environment.
* A strong background working with Systems Integrators and multi-supplier delivery models.
* Good understanding of Salesforce environments, integrations, and DevOps concepts (from a governance perspective rather than hands-on).
* Experience coordinating SIT, UAT, and regression testing environments.
* Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams and priorities at the same time.
* Comfortable leading governance forums and working with senior stakeholders.
* Experience dealing with data quality or data alignment challenges within large programmes would be beneficial.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys sitting at the centre of a programme and bringing structure, control, and clarity.
