The Release Manager is a critical enabler within the product development & delivery lifecycle, ensuring seamless coordination, efficient task management and timely release execution.
Are you driven by the opportunity to tackle complex challenges and work alongside top leaders? Do you want to be part of a team that delivers outcomes that others simply can’t? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
Who You'll Work With
Iguazio is a leading AI and machine learning company based in Herzliya. Recognized for helping enterprises deliver enterprise-wide analytics at scale, Iguazio’s advanced Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) pipeline enables clients to streamline and manage their AI, from the initial concept all the way to production, in a simplified and automated manner.
This role orchestrates cross-functional activities to ensure smooth progression through all release milestones, from kickoff to General Availability (GA).
This position is reporting to the Director of Program Management, and working in close collaboration with Product Managers, R&D Team Leads and developers (QA, DevOps, Dev. Teams).
Your impact within our firm
As a Release Manager, you will drive the end-to-end release lifecycle, ensuring alignment among teams and stakeholders. You will track and monitor release tasks across Development, QA, DevOps, and Documentation, acting as the central contact for milestone tracking and updates using tools like Slack, JIRA, and GitHub. Identifying and escalating delays, risks, or blockers for timely resolution is crucial to your role.
You will manage inter-team and inter-component dependencies, resolving or escalating gaps to ensure smooth integration of incremental feature development into the main branch.

Ensuring successful CI/CD pipeline completion and system tests, you will escalate issues as needed and facilitate the timely creation and release of builds to QA, ensuring testing readiness.
By overseeing feature verification progress using JIRA dashboards, you will facilitate bug screening with QA, Development, Product, and Architecture teams. Executing security scans and managing vulnerabilities for compliance and release readiness are essential tasks. You will maintain and enforce compliance with predefined release criteria, compiling and reviewing release communications with stakeholders to ensure everyone is informed and aligned.
In this role, your ability to manage multiple moving parts and communicate effectively across teams will be key to ensuring successful and timely releases.
