Instructional Designer

Lentech•Elkridge, MD

About The Position

Lentech is seeking a high-Performance, multi-disciplinary team to lead a technical implementation of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform-based case management system (CMS). This mission-critical project and CMS supports legal services to children in support of the U.S. Government. U.S. Citizenship is required along with the ability to positively pass a public trust background investigation. The primary implementation timeline occurs across the first 180 days of the project and moves into steady state operations for the remainder of the first year. A five-year follow-on contract is expected based on positive performance in the first year. The implementation follows an aggressive timeline divided into four key phases: Mobilization, Core Operations, Fully Functional Delivery, and Steady-state Operations. This effort demands a collaborative team capable of maintaining operational continuity throughout the transition and into operations. You will be working with a primary legal team providing the CMS to the lawyers working each individual case. Candidates must be prepared to handle high-velocity delivery, strict data privilege boundaries, and the technical rigor required to support vulnerable populations. The Technical Writer / Training Specialist must ensure that all training is completed before the applicable production roles are activated. Successful completion of this role is measured by the Organization’s ability to utilize the system and train new role based users. Because this project follows an evidence-based acceptance model, work products like guides and labs are not accepted until they satisfy the specific criteria defined in the Document Register and Test Matrix.
