Specific Duties & Responsibilities:

 

Change Assessment and Approval

  • Ensure all technology changes are formally logged, classified, and tracked within the centralized change management system to provide visibility, accountability, and audit readiness.
  • Assess and categorize change requests, determining appropriate approval paths based on risk, impact, and complexity.
    • Standard Change - Pre‑authorized, low‑risk, repeatable changes that follow a defined and documented procedure.
    • Normal Change - Changes that require formal assessment and authorization due to potential impact or risk changes that affect business operations.
    • Emergency Change - Changes required to restore service or resolve a critical incident or security vulnerability.
  • Facilitate and govern change review sessions to support informed, timely, and risk aligned decision making.
  • Approve minor changes in accordance with policy and escalate changes requiring Change Advisory Board approval.

 

Change Control Assurance

  • Verify readiness for production deployment by confirming completion of required documentation, testing evidence, approved implementation and rollback plans, and all necessary business, technical, and control approvals.
  • Review and assess change risk, business impact, technical dependencies, and potential service disruptions of the deployment activity.
  • Ensure all deployment requests follow defined change control policies, procedures, and approval workflows.

 

Deployment and Activity Calendar Management

  • Maintain and manage the deployment and activity calendar to ensure timely, coordinated, and conflict‑free execution of initiatives.
  • Coordinate with project managers, development, operations, security, and business units to align activities with approved timelines.
  • Monitor calendar changes, dependencies, and risks, ensuring proactive resolution of scheduling conflicts.
  • Provide accurate visibility and reporting on upcoming deployments, milestones, and major activities.

 

Post‑Implementation Review and Closure

  • Participate in post‑implementation reviews to verify that implemented changes deliver the intended and approved outcomes.
  • Evaluate any incidents, defects, or operational issues arising from implemented changes.
  • Ensure proper and timely closure of change records in compliance with control and audit standards.

 

Deployment-Related Issues & Incident Investigation and Continuous Improvement

  • Contribute to investigations of deployment‑related incidents and issues.
  • Perform or support root cause analysis (RCA) to identify underlying control gaps.
  • Recommend corrective and preventive actions impacting change control practices.
  • Analyze incident trends and control effectiveness to continuously strengthen and enhance the change control framework.
  • Monitor change success rates, failures, back‑outs, and post‑implementation issues to identify process gaps and improvement opportunities, and to drive continuous improvement, automation, and streamlining of change control processes.

 

Deployment & Release Coordination

  • Collaborate with Delivery, Application Support, DevSecOps, and Deployment teams to ensure seamless implementation.
  • Provide guidance to teams on change control best practices.
  • Coordinate change schedules to avoid conflicts and minimize service disruption.
  • Act as a point of escalation for deployment-related issues or conflicts.
  • Escalate recurring issues or control weaknesses for remediation.

 

Qualifications:

  • 3–8 years of experience in IT Change Management, ITSM, banking IT operations, or technology governance.

  • Experience managing large-scale or business-critical changes.
