About The Position

The Role Software doesn't ship itself smoothly — it takes someone who can keep a dozen moving parts on track, on time, and in sync. That's where you come in. As our Release Coordinator, you'll be the go-to person who keeps releases across our Billing AR & Payments, Billing SO, Usage, and CABS product teams organized and predictable. You'll own the release process end to end: planning it, tracking it, testing it, and making sure everyone knows what's happening and when. If you love bringing order to complexity and helping teams hit their goals together, you'll feel right at home here. We're looking for someone who's organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely good at helping different teams work well together. You'll be the person who gives everyone visibility into how ready a release really is — and who steps in to keep things moving when they're not.

Requirements

Strong organizational and communication skills — you keep things moving and keep people in the loop.
A knack for juggling multiple priorities and deadlines without losing your cool.
