About the Team

The Enterprise Release Manager is accountable for enterprise release governance, assurance and co-ordination with initial focus on cloud, data, integration platforms and multiple Lines of Business (LoB) workloads.

The Enterprise Release Manager works closely with platform teams, workload teams, Change Management, Operations, Security, Risk and delivery stakeholders to manage release risk, dependency complexity, production readiness and post-release outcomes.

The Enterprise Release Manager also drives automation-first release practices and provides reporting of release readiness, release risk, delivery constraints and outcomes to teams and leadership.

What you will be doing

How we do things at ASX is just as important as what we do. This means, if you're a people leader, you will be responsible for both the core duties outlined below, and providing leadership to your team to ensure we foster a collaborative, inclusive team environment, where people feel empowered, accountable, and deeply connected (as outlined in our Leadership Principles).

Release Co-ordination, Governance & Assurance

• Define and orchestrate integrated release planning across cloud data and integrations platforms and multiple LoB workloads. Ensure runbooks, release comms, monitoring, validation, PIR and handover activities are complete.
• With input from the platform and workload release managers, maintain an enterprise release calendar and forward view of platform and dependent workload changes.
• Identify, track, and actively manage release dependencies, integration points, and planning risks.
• Champion an automation-first release management approach.
• Integration with existing ASX Change Management, Release Policies and Change Approval Board (CAB) and drive continuous improvements in enterprise release management standards, operating rhythms and governance forums.

Metrics, Reporting & Stakeholder Alignment

• Define and report release and health measures (e.g., success rate, change failure rate, deployment time, readiness quality) and use insights to drive improvement.
• Provide clear, timely and decision-ready reporting to leadership on release readiness, release risk posture, dependency conflicts, control gaps, environment constraints and production readiness.

What you will bring

Must have

• Extensive experience in enterprise release management, complex delivery orchestration, DevOps, or platform engineering roles with demonstrable accountability for release governance.
• Strong experience coordinating releases across multiple interdependent teams and technology domains, including cloud and platform teams.
• Proven track record establishing or materially uplifting release management capability (frameworks, governance, operating rhythms, and tooling) in complex enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated experience working in highly regulated environments with strong change control expectations, audit needs, and clear accountability for risk and operational outcomes.
• Strong working knowledge of modern delivery practices (CI/CD, automated testing, deployment strategies, rollback approaches), with experience uplifting automation and standard patterns across teams.
• Accountability for the release management process within your remit - you are comfortable owning release risk outcomes and escalating issues early when controls or readiness are insufficient.
• Cross-team co-ordination - you thrive on coordinating many moving parts (platform teams, workloads, enterprise priorities and dependencies), aligning schedules, dependencies, and readiness across teams.
• Automation mindset - you seek to remove manual intervention and strengthen automation through repeatable processes, tooling, and engineered quality gates.
• Clear, disciplined communication - you can translate technical release complexity into concise, decision-ready information for leadership and delivery teams.
