Job description

Change & Release Manager – Remote – 3 month initial Contract – Inside IR35

VIQU have partnered with a leading enterprise organisation who are seeking an experienced Change & Release Manager to support a major transformation programme during a period of exceptionally high change activity.

Role Overview

This Change & Release Manager role has been created to provide additional capacity to an established Change & Release function as multiple technology and business initiatives progress simultaneously.

The successful Change & Release Manager will work across both Change and Release activities, ensuring IT changes are effectively governed, coordinated and delivered with minimal operational risk. Working alongside project teams, technical stakeholders and suppliers, you will play a key role in maintaining delivery momentum whilst ensuring established Change Management processes are consistently followed.

This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can quickly understand existing processes, hit the ground running and become productive from week one.

Previous experience supporting enterprise transformation, migration, integration or large-scale business change programmes would be highly advantageous.

You will:

  • Manage Change Requests from submission through to approval, ensuring governance standards are consistently met.
  • Review, challenge and improve Change Requests, working closely with technical delivery teams to obtain complete and accurate information.
  • Coordinate Change and Release activities across multiple concurrent projects and workstreams.
  • Support the planning, scheduling and execution of IT Releases.
  • Build strong relationships with project teams, technical stakeholders and third-party suppliers to ensure successful delivery.
  • Attend programme and project meetings to identify upcoming Change and Release activity at an early stage.
  • Support the production and maintenance of Release Plans where required.
  • Ensure Change and Release processes are followed whilst balancing governance with delivery timescales.
  • Provide immediate support to an established Change & Release team during a period of increased demand.

Key skills & experience:

  • Proven experience working as an IT Change Manager or Change & Release Manager within a large enterprise environment.
  • Strong understanding of ITIL Change Management and Release Management principles.
  • Experience managing high volumes of concurrent IT Changes and Releases.
  • Previous experience supporting enterprise transformation, migration, integration or large-scale business change programmes.
  • Ability to engage confidently with technical delivery teams, asking the right questions and challenging incomplete or poor-quality Change Requests.
  • Experience coordinating multiple stakeholders, project teams and third-party suppliers.
  • Strong governance, planning and organisational skills.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Logistics, retail or other large enterprise experience would be advantageous but is not essential.

Role details:

  • Job role: Change & Release Manager
  • Job type: Contract
  • Duration: 3-month initial contract
  • Rate: £400–£500 per day
  • IR35 status: Inside IR35
  • Location: Predominantly remote, with approximately one day per month onsite in Leeds.
