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.\nThis 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.\nThis 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.\nRequirements\nRelease Manager (50%)\nWork with global cross-functional teams (Sales, Product Management, Engineering and Operations to deliver Callsign solutions to customers \nOwn the release calendar, go/no-go criteria, and deployment mechanics for products moving into non-production and production environments \nSupport QA and DevOps functions to help ensure products are developed to a high standard and deployed quickly and securely \nContinuously identify friction points in the release process and drive improvements - manual steps to automate, bottlenecks to remove, cadence to tighten \nTrack release health over time (frequency, lead time, failure rate) to demonstrate ongoing improvement \nDevelop and maintain effective working relationships across internal Callsign teams \nAgile Trainer (50%)\nDesign and deliver agile training sessions and workshops across multiple scrum teams \nCoach engineers, designers, analysts and product owners on agile principles - with an explicit focus on the habits that make releases smoother (predictable commitments, clear ownership, fewer last-minute surprises) \nHelp teams build their own agile muscle rather than depending on a single embedded facilitator \nIdentify gaps in agile maturity across teams and create targeted learning plans, prioritising the gaps that most affect release reliability \nTreat each training cycle as an experiment: measure whether it moves the needle on release speed and reliability, and adjust \nRequired Knowledge / Experience\nRecognised Agile trainer-level certification (e.g. ICAgile Certified Professional-Agile Coaching, Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Professional, or equivalent) enabling you to formally teach others, not just facilitate \nExcellent communicator, skilled in conflict management, comfortable presenting and training as well as doing hands-on delivery work \nCurious, collaborative, empathetic, humble, reflective, energetic, and agile work attitude \nSome relevant industry experience in delivery/release coordination and agile ways of working \nExperience with or strong working knowledge of Agile and DevOps practices \nA continuous-improvement mindset - genuinely motivated by making processes better, not just running them \nComfortable balancing two distinct modes of work: delivering and teaching \nNice to Have\nExperience running training sessions, workshops, or onboarding programmers \nExperience with release automation or CI/CD pipeline improvements \nUnderstanding of IT security products and how they're applied (identity, authentication, access control, etc.) \nFamiliarity with service management approaches such as ITIL \nBenefits\nPrivate Premium Health Insurance\nVisa costs including 1 month paid hotel stay on arrival\nAnnual Airfare Allowance for the home country\n3 months full pay maternity leaves & 2 weeks full pay paternity leaves\n25 days of annual leave + Callsign Bank Holiday (not included in holiday allowance)\nCompetitive Salary\nGratuity as EOSB","description_format":"text","description_chars":4338,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Fraud Detection","Identity Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T03:58:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":75,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.836,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":12,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/callsign-agile-release-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/callsign-agile-release-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T22:40:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3246,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1754,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51577},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51577"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcallsign-agile-release-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcallsign-agile-release-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcallsign-agile-release-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/callsign-agile-release-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcallsign-agile-release-manager"}]}
