Deployment Strategist, Cleared (TS/SCI)

SitrepsWashington, DC
$150,000 - $210,000Hybrid

About The Position

This role requires an active Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance. United States citizenship is required, because it is a condition of eligibility for the clearance the role depends on. This is a hybrid role based out DC. Candidates must reside in DC or be able to commute to work out of our office at least three times a week (Tuesdays - Thursdays). You'll own the full implementation journey for our client's federal customers: scoping the rollout, configuring the platform, training agency staff, and staying in the room until the deployment is actually adopted, not just launched. You'll work inside classified and accredited environments where every integration decision has to account for what data can move where, and you'll partner closely with the engineering team to make sure what gets shipped actually fits how the agency operates.

Requirements

  • 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.
  • Active Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance required.
  • US citizenship required.

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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Benefits

  • $150,000 to $210,000 base salary, plus equity.
  • 100% coverage across the board: medical (Gold and Platinum PPO plans), dental (PPO), and vision, all fully covered for employees, with 100% coverage for dependents.
  • $100,000 in fully paid life insurance.
  • FSA and Dependent Care FSA.
  • A concierge primary care membership, on us, same-day primary care, 24/7 virtual visits, and offices all over the city.
  • Fertility and family-building support.
  • 401(k), with a 2% company match.
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for birthing parents.
  • 10 weeks fully paid for non-birthing parents.
  • Unlimited PTO, with a two-week minimum.
  • Closed for all federal holidays.
  • Company-wide winter break the week of Christmas.
  • Company offsites throughout the year.
  • Up to $750 one-time home office or desk setup stipend for NYC-based employees. $500 for remote employees.
  • $50/month commuter benefit (company contribution).
  • Expensed lunch while in the office.
  • Company-provided laptop of your choice.
  • NYC employees: fully covered gym membership at a partner fitness studio near the office. A $225/month value, on us.
  • Non-NYC employees: $100 per month, dedicated to gym / physical fitness reimbursement.
  • $100/month utility stipend.
  • $500/year professional development.
  • $250/year recreation.
  • $300/quarter pet care stipend.
