- Software Release Coordinator / Manager* - ref: RelCord2010
Software Release Coordinator / Manager - ref: RelCord2010
The Release Coordinator will be a central role in the software release and test function for DisplayLink.
The successful applicant will be responsible for coordinating the delivery and execution of core software releases.
The person will also be the main point of contact for any issues relating to the status of a software release, and (if necessary) will be responsible for ensuring that an appropriate response is coordinated utilizing both development and system test engineers.
The role is best suited to a capable Technical Project Manager who has progressed from a previous software development role and who has experience in delivering software releases, ideally to the mass market.
The applicant must have exceptional communication skills, and be able to effectively communicate the status of the current software release, the system test activities, and high priority bugs, and the actions being taken to resolve key bugs to various functions within the company. They must also be comfortable presenting information in a suitable format to end customers, if necessary.
The Release Coordinator will be expected to contribute to the planning phase for the delivery of releases. However, they will mainly oversee the day to day work of a small team of test and development engineers, ensuring that the release is on track and that key issues are being successfully addressed. The successful applicant will therefore need good team coordination and management skills. The person will also need to coordinate with other engineering teams who may be delivering features or fixes into a release, and ensure the deliverables are on time and to a high quality.
This role involves handling some technically involved and complex issues. It is not expected that the Release Coordinator will resolve such issues directly, rather working and coordinating with a capable technical team. However, the successful candidate must have a proven technical ability (preferably from a software development background) and be able to rapidly understand and effectively communicate complex technical issues to people of widely differing technical experience.
The Release Coordinator will need to work successfully with other functions (including Marketing, Customer and Sales support) on the delivery of releases, in particular, taking input on bug prioritization, risks and release delivery dates.
The role will be split roughly equally across the following activities:
-
Planning of release tasks and coordination of development and test engineers in the release team, ensuring the release is on track with appropriate quality.
-
Defining and implementing methods and processes for efficient software release testing and delivery.
-
Effectively communicating the status of the release, ensuring any issues are made visible to key stakeholders
-
Coordinating Beta programs; monitoring user forums; and managing other sources of direction for forthcoming releases, etc
Essential attributes:
-
Superb communication skills, personal and technical
-
Strong proven organisational abilities
-
Previous project management experience in a technical environment
-
Proven technical experience in a software development environment, likely as a developer
-
Strong evidence of initiative, used successfully within a team environment
-
Full software life cycle experience
-
Focus on quality
-
Flexibility
-
Team-leading
