Quantum-Systems is a strong supporter of Ukraine and has it’s local Ukrainian office since 2022.

In the role of Product Release Manager, you will have the opportunity to build and develop a company-wide release management system across all products. This role carries a high level of responsibility for synchronizing the delivery of functionality across products, teams, and technology domains. We are looking for a proactive individual who can ensure predictable and controlled delivery in a complex, multidisciplinary environment and contribute to improving products used in real combat conditions. 

This is a full-time office job.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Owner of the Release Management Lifecycle: build, develop, and continuously improve the release process for new capabilities across the company, based on metrics, transparency, and business objectives.

• Release planning: define and maintain aligned release schedules together with Product Managers/Owners, considering product strategies and cross-product dependencies.

• Cross-product delivery coordination: manage dependencies across teams (HW, Embedded, Platform, UI, etc.), ensuring synchronization of capabilities delivered within a single release.

• Risk management: identify grey areas, technical and organizational risks, and cross-team dependencies, ensuring timely mitigation.

• Execution tracking (PI / delivery tracking): monitor progress of planned capabilities, proactively escalate deviations, and support decision-making on descoping or reprioritization.

• Release delivery: ensure alignment between product owners, development, and testing teams regarding integration, testing timelines, and release documentation standards (implementation notes, release notes, user manuals, etc.).

• Release readiness: organize and lead readiness reviews (integration readiness, test readiness), contributing to Go/No-Go recommendations.

• Metrics and transparency: build and maintain a metrics system to evaluate delivery performance (predictability, lead time, release success rate), ensuring transparent reporting to stakeholders.

• Process alignment: facilitate consistent planning and delivery practices across teams without direct ownership of product backlog or product decisions.

What you bring to the team:

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in Release Management, Program Management, or Delivery Management within complex engineering products. 

• Agile practice: hands-on experience working in Agile environments. Experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach is a plus but not the primary responsibility of this role. Familiarity with SAFe (e.g., RTE) is an advantage.

• Tooling: strong proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and a solid understanding of backlog and delivery management practices.

• Systems thinking: ability to operate within complex systems and understand dependencies between hardware and software components.

• Soft skills: strong problem-solving, facilitation, and decision-making skills in high-uncertainty environments.

• Communication: ability to effectively coordinate across multiple products, teams, and functions.

• Technical background: willingness and ability to dive into technical details as needed to manage dependencies and risks.

• Languages: fluent English.
