Overview
DecisionPoint seeks a Configuration & Release Manager to own configuration baselines, change records, CMDB reconciliation, release planning, and configuration reporting for the USMEPCOM ENLIST program. This senior role ensures that application components, interfaces, infrastructure dependencies, documentation, and release artifacts are accurately identified, versioned, controlled, approved, and traceable.
The Configuration & Release Manager analyzes release impacts and maintains source and version descriptions, known-defect lists, bills of materials, build and deployment documentation, release packages, and configuration summaries. The position coordinates approvals, release readiness, implementation, validation, and operational handover across Government stakeholders, software teams, testers, cybersecurity personnel, infrastructure teams, and operations.
This position is remote, with Chicago-area candidates preferred.

- Establish, maintain, and govern configuration-management and release-management processes for the ENLIST software portfolio.

- Coordinate configuration-control and change-control activities with Government representatives and program governance bodies.
- Support change-control board reviews by preparing impact assessments, dependency information, implementation plans, rollback plans, and decision materials.
- Analyze proposed releases for technical, operational, security, interface, data, training, documentation, and scheduling impacts.
- Develop and maintain integrated release plans, schedules, readiness criteria, dependencies, approval points, and implementation milestones.
- Coordinate release activities across development, testing, cybersecurity, infrastructure, database, cloud, network, training, service management, and operations teams.
