Deployment Strategist, Cleared (TS/SCI) at Sitreps 2 Steercos | LAYIQ

Own end-to-end federal implementations: discovery, scoping, configuration, data migration, integrations, training, go-live, and post-launch support.
Lead onboarding for agency stakeholders and career staff, translating what they actually need into a rollout plan that survives contact with a live agency.
Work inside classification and data-handling constraints as a design input, not an obstacle, coordinating closely with engineering on what can be built and how.
Translate patterns from the field back to Product and Engineering: edge cases, workflow gaps, and the things agencies never put in the RFP but need on day one.
Act as the connective tissue between customer-facing implementation and the engineers building against mission-critical government data and AI platforms, so what ships matches what was promised.
Build the playbooks, templates, and internal documentation that make the next federal deployment faster than this one.
Guide public sector partners through the actual change management of replacing a legacy system, not just the technical cutover.
Must-Haves
5+ years in SaaS implementation, onboarding, solutions engineering, or a product-adjacent delivery role (Implementation Consultant, Solutions Architect, Technical Program Manager), with a track record of owning multi-stakeholder rollouts.
Technical fluency: comfortable working with APIs, data models, and system configurations, and able to hold your own in a conversation with engineers about integration tradeoffs.
Experience translating customer requirements into implementation plans and technical workflows, not just a status tracker.
Comfort operating inside classified or otherwise accredited environments, or a clear ability to pick up new compliance and data-handling constraints fast.
A bias toward action: you'd rather build the process while running the deployment than wait for someone to hand you one.
Nice-to-Haves
Have deployed software inside a classified or accredited environment before and know where the real friction lives.
Have worked a program where a major government data and AI platform vendor was prime, or have hands-on exposure to leading government data integration and AI platforms.
Have touched federal, state, or local government implementation work specifically, versus enterprise SaaS generally.
Have built implementation playbooks or internal tooling from scratch at an early-stage company.
Not a Fit
You need a mature playbook to follow. Most of what you'll use here, you'll be building.
You want to hand off the hard technical questions to engineering and stay on the process side. This role lives at that intersection.
You're looking for a steady-state customer success role. This is deployment under real constraints, with real agencies, and real consequences if it goes wrong.
Government bureaucracy and slow-moving stakeholders would wear you down instead of something you know how to work with.
