Release Management • Maintain and coordinate the release calendar across the HR product portfolio, ensuring all product teams have visibility of upcoming releases, dependencies, and sequencing. • Support release readiness assessments by coordinating release checklists, confirming test completion, gathering signoffs, and ensuring documentation (release notes, runbooks, rollback plans) is complete and accurate prior to deployment. • Coordinate release communications across product teams, business stakeholders, and Service Operations, ensuring impacted parties are informed of release scope, timing, and any known risks or workarounds. • Support change control processes, ensuring releases follow required governance and approval workflows and that evidence of testing, risk assessment, and stakeholder sign-off is documented and auditable. • Support go-live and hypercare activities, monitoring for release-related incidents, coordinating triage across product teams, and ensuring issues are escalated and resolved in a timely manner. • Documents and tracks release outcomes and contribute to post-release reviews, capturing lessons learned, analysing release success rates, and identifying opportunities to improve release processes and reduce release-related incidents. • Use approved AI tools in your day-to-day work to improve your own productivity and your team’s ways of working, sharing what works and applying sound judgement, including validating outputs and following GSK’s Responsible AI, privacy and security requirements.
