Release Manager

In-Form Release Manager | National Homelessness Charity | Remote or Hybrid

I'm currently recruiting an In-Form Release Manager for a charity that operates at the national level on homelessness in England - representing over 900 organisations, holding the sector's data, and lobbying government to actually change how the UK handles homelessness. the infrastructure behind the whole sector.

Part of how they fund that mission is through their own Salesforce-based case management platform, used by 350+ organisations and 24,000+ frontline staff to support people experiencing homelessness. This role owns the full release process for that product end to end. When a release goes well, frontline homelessness workers across England get better tools the next day.

The role reports to the Head of Product and sits at the centre of the product organisation. You'll work alongside Product Management, Engineering, Customer Success, Support, Marketing and Training to plan releases, coordinate customer upgrades and prepare both internal teams and customers for product change. As much about communication, documentation and stakeholder coordination as it is about process ownership.
