Responsibilities
- Be Wrapbook’s Release Manager: Directly manage Wrapbook’s release process, ensuring predictability, quality, and alignment across Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD), along with Client Ops and GTM.

Foster a culture of accountability and inclusion where TPMs can do their best work

Act as a connector across business, product and technical teams, creating alignment on roles, responsibilities, and readiness for every stage of build and launch.

Leverage agentic workflows, AI-assisted tooling, and automation to increase throughput, reduce manual coordination overhead, and accelerate release cycles.
