Job Description

Release Program Manager (Release Portfolio & Executive Visibility)

Location : Greenwood Village, CO (4 days onsite / 1 day remote)

Contract Duration : Long term ongoing W2 contract

Pay Range : $65+ / hour depending on experience

Reporting : Directly under GVP

Role Overview

The Access Engineering organization is seeking a Release Program Manager to provide portfolio-level coordination, visibility, and executive communication across multiple release teams.

This role is not responsible for hands-on execution of individual releases. Instead, it sits above release execution, bringing together inputs from Release Managers, Engineering, QA, and Product to create a single, executive-ready view of upcoming releases, dependencies, and risk.

This individual will act as a right-hand partner to leadership, helping translate complex, multi-team release activity into clear, visual, decision-ready narratives for senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide portfolio-level visibility into release activity across multiple teams and verticals
• Consolidate release timelines, ownership, dependencies, and risks into clear, executive-facing views
• Coordinate closely with Release Managers and technical teams to synthesize release readiness, not execute releases
• Identify cross-team dependencies (e.g., where one release requires input from another vertical)
• Prepare and own executive-ready PowerPoint decks that communicate :
• What is releasing
• When it is releasing
• Who owns it
• What risks or blockers exist
• Act as a trusted liaison between leadership and delivery teams to ensure alignment and clarity
• Replace tribal knowledge with documented, repeatable release visibility processes
• Partner with PMs and leadership to ensure release activity aligns with broader organizational priorities
