Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Release Manager to join one of Canada's top banks for a 12-month contract (with possibility of extension). The chosen candidate will be responsible for managing some or all phases or aspects of the release management delivery life cycle with a focus on implementations and/or project execution. This will involve running meetings; creating playbooks; having technical discussions; liaising between technology and non-technology teams; presenting status; tracking issues; and running deployments. Success in this role requires top-tier communication and collaboration skills for cross-functional communications (with developers, business partners, etc.). This role will be critical in providing needed support as well as speeding up these teams' turnaround times for releases. As part of a small team of 3-4 others, the chosen candidates will start in a "backup" role before ideally moving to a Lead position with the required support/oversight.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
