Define release scope, schedule, and dependencies to ensure timely and smooth deployments.  Create and submit change records as required for process and audit compliance.  Participation in Technical Change Advisory and Review boards as required.
    Release Automation:  Develop and maintain automated deployment pipelines using industry-standard tools such as AWS Cl/CD, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins or similar. Automate and streamline release processes to improve efficiency and reduce manual errors. 
    Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify areas for process improvement within the release management lifecycle. Implement feedback loops to capture lessons learned from each release and apply improvements iteratively.  Stay up to date with industry best practices, emerging technologies, and trends related to release management and reliability engineering.
    Quality Assurance: Collaborate with QA teams to establish and execute release validation procedures. Ensure releases are thoroughly tested and meet quality standards before deployment.  Drive continuous improvement by analyzing release management trends, identifying recurring issues, and working with teams to implement solutions.
