• Coordinate deployment sequencing, code/configuration/data dependencies, environment windows, test completion, change freezes, certificates, and infrastructure prerequisites.
• Lead release-readiness reviews and confirm designs, testing, approvals, security, rollback, monitoring, support, and business readiness.
• Prepare and govern change requests, CAB submissions, implementation plans, validation steps, rollback plans, and audit evidence.
• Develop integrated cutover runbooks, minute-by-minute schedules, ownership, checkpoints, communications, and command-center protocols.
• Manage release RAID, critical path, vendor commitments, milestone forecast, resource needs, and executive escalation.
• Coordinate dress rehearsals, defect drops, emergency fixes, production deployments, smoke testing, and business validation.
• Track hypercare incidents, failed transactions, technical health, backout criteria, stabilization actions, and transition to support.
