What You Will Do:

Own and manage the Salesforce release calendar across Dev, QA, UAT, and Production, including weekly/regular release cadences, blackout periods, and emergency/exception releases.
Plan, coordinate, and execute deployments (metadata, configuration, and where applicable data) using the agreed toolset (e.g., Copado, SFDX, Git-based pipelines, APIs), including pre- and post-deploy steps.
Serve as the single point of contact for all Salesforce production deployments (core, CPQ, CRMA, managed packages), ensuring tight coordination with Business Systems, GFSA, GTM, and Security teams.
Enforce SOX-compliant change management: verify change type, approvals, segregation of duties, and evidence before promoting any change to Production.
Own sandbox and environment strategy: plan and execute refreshes, manage post-refresh activities, environment configuration, and test data readiness for projects and regression testing.
Coordinate and execute managed package and integration installs/upgrades across environments, including handling service accounts, permission sets, connected apps, and regression validation.
Maintain and enhance CI/CD and automation for Salesforce releases: standardize pipelines, templates, validation rules, and smoke/regression automation where feasible.
Monitor, triage, and resolve release-related issues (failed deployments, merge conflicts, metadata inconsistencies), working closely with Dev/QA/Architecture to drive root cause analysis and prevention.
Maintain clear release documentation and runbooks (checklists, SOPs, backout plans) and keep them up to date with evolving processes and tooling.
Partner with QA and Business stakeholders to ensure test plans, sign-offs, and production validations are completed and recorded for audits.
Support internal and external audits related to Salesforce change management, access, and deployment evidence; respond to audit queries with appropriate documentation.
Identify and drive process improvements in release governance, branching strategy, environment usage, and tooling to improve stability and developer productivity.
