About Us

In March 2021, Correla was created, as an independently owned business to bring in private investment to fuel innovation in the centre of the energy market and beyond.

Correla is derived from correlation, because we’re all about exploring and enhancing relationships between data, people, and processes. Our SaaS products and Managed Service solutions combine to power industry innovation, simplify an increasingly complex market, and deliver cost and operational efficiencies.

Our goal is to support industry transformation, to move to a net-zero future and to positively impact the end-consumer.

About the Role:

Own the delivery of Minor and Major releases, from initiation through to deployment and post-release review, ensuring individual release Project Managers deliver in accordance with agreed governance frameworks, quality standards and programme expectations.

Develop and maintain integrated release plans, ensuring dependencies, milestones, and resource constraints are understood and managed.

Lead, coordinate, and provide day-to-day oversight for a team of up to four Project Managers, coaching and supporting them to build delivery capability, confidence, and accountability while ensuring consistent delivery standards and practices.

Conduct regular delivery health reviews, challenge plans and assumptions where required and intervene early where delivery risk becomes material.

Identify, manage, and mitigate cross-project risks, issues, and dependencies, escalating where required to the Project Delivery Manager with clear recommendations and impact assessments.

Ensure release activities comply with agreed governance, quality standards, and delivery frameworks.

Validate that stage gates, readiness criteria, change controls, and assurance artefacts are complete and robust prior to formal escalation or approval.

Provide clear, concise, and timely reporting to stakeholders, ensuring no material delivery risks or readiness concerns emerge without prior visibility and discussion.

Support release readiness, including cutover planning, go/no-go decisions, and post-implementation reviews.

Ensure operational and service readiness is credible and demonstrable prior to deployment, particularly given the critical nature of UK Link services.

Drive continuous improvement in release delivery by capturing lessons learned and refining processes, tooling and delivery standards across the Project Manager community.

Standardise artefacts, reporting approaches, governance compliance, and planning discipline across the release portfolio.

About You

Strong experience delivering complex releases or multi-project initiatives within a structured delivery environment.
Proven ability to lead and coordinate multiple Project Managers and delivery teams, including experience managing performance, raising delivery standards and coaching within a PM community.
Excellent planning, dependency management, and sequencing skills across concurrent workstreams, with the ability to manage integration risks across multiple parallel releases.
Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence technical and business teams and to operate confidently across complex stakeholder landscapes including client, industry and regulatory-facing environments.

Practical experience of release management within Agile, hybrid, or waterfall environments.

Confident in risk, issue, and escalation management, with sound judgement on when to escalate.

Able to translate complex delivery information into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders.

Understanding of governance, assurance, and control processes in regulated or contractual environments, with experience enforcing structured stage gates, change control and audit-ready delivery documentation.
