Are you looking to join Callsign as a Release Manager with a twist? Callsign are actively recruiting for an Agile Release Manager to join our technology team at our Abu Dhabi office. We're on a journey to make our releases easier, faster, and more frequent — and this role exists to drive that journey, not just manage releases as they are today. It's a great fit for someone who's collaborative, organised, tech-savvy, and enjoys both delivering and teaching.
This role splits your time between hands-on release management and helping our teams grow stronger at agile practices — because the more our teams internalise agile ways of working, the smoother, faster, and more reliable our releases become. You won't just be running releases; you'll be actively working to improve the process release after release.
This is a dual-focus role. Half your time will be spent managing release execution on real Intelligence Driven Authentication projects — working with Technology, Customers, Partners and other Callsign teams. The other half will be spent coaching and training our scrum teams on agile ways of working — not as a day-to-day Scrum Master embedded in a single team, but as a trainer who builds agile capability across multiple teams. As that capability grows, releases get easier, faster, and more frequent — and that continuous improvement is the core purpose of this role.
