Release Manager – Product & Platform Delivery £75,000 – £90,000 | Hybrid – 1–2 days per week in Middlesbrough office 83zero are proud to be partnered with a leading software and technology business who are shaping the future of their industry. This is an organisation where innovation meets impact, where collaboration drives delivery, and where the right people are empowered to make a real difference. We’re now on the lookout for a Release Manager who will sit right at the heart of product delivery — orchestrating how new products and features are planned, released, and enabled across the entire business. This is a high-profile, business-critical role with the chance to shape processes, influence decision-making, and ensure releases aren’t just delivered on time, but land successfully with customers, partners, and internal teams. The Role This isn’t about ticking boxes or enforcing heavy processes. Instead, it’s about bringing clarity, alignment, and energy to the release cycle. From the very start, you’ll be embedded in the release planning process — working closely with product managers and engineering leaders to define capacity, scope, and priorities. You’ll ensure teams don’t overcommit, that delivery plans are realistic, and that progress is tracked with meaningful data. Once the scope is set, your focus will shift to alignment across the wider business. Marketing, sales, customer support, consulting, migration — everyone needs to be “release ready,” and you’ll be the person who makes sure that happens. Running the charter process will be central to your work, capturing release definitions, tracking their evolution, and keeping stakeholders informed every step of the way. What We’re Looking For We’re not hung up on titles — you might come from a background in product management, programme management, or engineering operations — but what matters most is your ability to see the bigger picture and connect the dots. You’ll combine a strong understanding of software/product delivery with excellent business awareness and communication skills. • Proven experience managing and orchestrating software or product releases across multiple teams, • Strong background in capacity planning, roadmap alignment, and release governance, • Hands-on experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Aha! — not just using them, but building reports, dashboards, and insights that drive decisions, • A data-driven approach: confident in tracking KPIs, spotting risks, and presenting insights in a way stakeholders can act on, • A natural communicator who can influence, align, and energise both technical and non-technical teams, • Someone who thrives in orchestration — bringing order to complexity and enabling success across the organisation Why Join? This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to take ownership of a role that has visibility right across the business. You’ll work with talented product and engineering teams, but also partner with commercial functions — ensuring every release is not only built right, but launched right. You’ll be joining a forward-thinking organisation that values clarity over clutter, progress over process, and outcomes over outputs. Here, you’ll have the freedom to shape how releases are run, the chance to scale best practices, and the platform to make a lasting impact.
