A deployment manager oversees the release of updates to technical systems. Your job duties include developing release schedules, providing support during the technical release process, and ensuring that production systems are functional following a successful release. A career as a deployment manager requires you have some formal qualifications and education, typically a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. To excel as a deployment manager, you should have strong communications, analytical, and organizational skills. Prior experience working with technical systems during an implementation phase will set you ahead of other candidates.
