Google Cloud Platform Release and Testing

For our Detroit based client we require a Release and Testing consultant with experience in Google Cloud Platform Cloud.

Consultant should be willing to works as W2 employee. No Sub Contracting.

-Own end-to-end release governance for Google Cloud Platform platform and onboarding changes (release calendar, change approvals, go/no-go, rollback criteria, hypercare).
-Define and enforce quality gates for IaC and platform changes (test strategy, regression coverage, environment promotion rules, peer review standards).
-Run release readiness and post-release validation (cutover checklists, smoke tests, monitoring verification, incident triage during release windows).
-Establish standards for release documentation and evidence capture (change records, test results, approvals, deployment traceability) aligned to control requirements.
-Coordinate dependencies across IAM, networking, security/compliance, platform engineering, and application teams; drive timely decisioning and escalation.
-Identify recurring release defects and process gaps; lead continuous improvement (root cause, corrective actions, automation of checks).
-Define operational handoffs (runbooks, support model, SLAs, knowledge base) and ensure teams are production ready.
