What you will do

• Own deployment plans for correctional modules, policy changes, procedures, and forms, coordinating Account Management, Product, and Engineering.
• Map policies, roles, facility practices, approvals, and dependencies required for a rollout, then create readiness checklists, communications, and resident-facing explanations.
• Build trust with classification officers, records and sentence computation staff, case managers, program coordinators, wardens, and deputy wardens.
• Identify stalled workstreams, resolve blockers, and run the operating cadence through go-live and operational steady state.
• Develop local champions and convert deployment experience into reusable playbooks, templates, and processes.

Requirements

• Track record of getting a policy, process, or system change adopted by people who did not report to you in a policy- and procedure-driven organization such as government, corrections, healthcare, logistics, enterprise software implementation, or a similar environment.
• Experience being accountable for both a system going live and people working differently after go-live; relevant backgrounds may include implementation, consulting, program or project management, technical account management, or change management.
• Ability to independently create plans, milestones, and stakeholder maps, identify risks early, and drive execution.
• Clear communication and disciplined documentation skills, including writing procedures, explaining policy changes in plain language, and reporting field issues to Product.
• Ability to understand how statutes become sentence-computation rules and data models, and where implementation diverges from policy in practice.
• Open-mindedness, humility, empathy, active listening, and steadiness when working with incarcerated individuals and correctional staff.
• Willingness to travel approximately 30% of the time, including regular visits to prisons and correctional headquarters.

Nice to have

• Experience implementing an enterprise or government system such as an offender management system, electronic health record, or case management platform through go-live.
