About The Position

Connexus Hub Inc. is a woman-owned small business that supports federal agencies with professional and technical services. We are hiring a Corrections Subject Matter Expert to serve as the technical authority on a federal corrections training modernization program. This is the person who makes sure the training is right. A team of instructional designers and multimedia developers will rebuild a portfolio of corrections courses, and you are the one who tells them what actually happens inside a facility, what the policy requires, and what a course gets wrong. The work is fully remote and this position is contingent on contract award.

Completion of state- or agency-certified corrections academy training. You will be asked to provide the certificate.
Seven or more years of experience in core corrections subject areas, to include recent in-field corrections experience, development of occupational subject matter content, and quality control of deliverables.
Deep familiarity with adult learning materials and with current correctional facility operations, including safety and security operations.
Availability during core hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday.

Nice To Haves

Experience as a corrections training academy instructor, training officer, or curriculum developer.
PREA experience, including work as a PREA auditor or PREA coordinator.
Depth in any of these subjects: use of force and less-lethal options, cell search and transport, emergency preparedness, contraband and key control, crisis de-escalation, inmate rights and constitutional law, suicide prevention and intervention, ethics and professional conduct, and coaching in corrections.
Prior work alongside instructional designers on e-learning development, and awareness of Section 508 accessibility expectations.
Federal corrections experience, including the Bureau of Prisons or the National Institute of Corrections.

Responsibilities

Serve as the technical expert for designing, updating, modernizing, and evaluating correctional curricula across e-learning, micro-learning, and instructor-led courses.
Work side by side with instructional designers to build lesson plans, courses, and interactive exercises that line up with corrections policy and with federal, state, and local regulation.
Review draft content for operational and technical accuracy, and say so plainly when something would not hold up in a real facility.
Provide authoritative guidance on core corrections subjects to the project team and to the customer.
Use testing metrics to assess whether a course is achieving what it was built to achieve, and recommend changes when it is not.
Perform quality control on deliverables before they reach the customer.
