Configuration Manager

About the role

Imagineeer is seeking a Senior Configuration Manager to establish and maintain configuration control across an acquisition transformation engagement for a federal civilian department. From day one you will put every project work product under version control, and you will carry that discipline through current-state baselines, a two-tool pilot, and production configuration of the selected tools.

• Co-author the Integrated Change Management, Training, and Configuration Management Plan.
• Establish the current-state configuration baseline for in-scope systems, tools, and interfaces, including versions, customizations, integrations, and configuration ownership.
• Document configuration dependencies that must be addressed before any capability is retired or consolidated.
• Assess candidate tools' administrator configurability, version management, and release management practices.
• Coordinate every proposed configuration change with the client's established change control and security processes; no change is made to client systems without Government approval.
• Establish the pilot configuration baseline, version control, and change control records.
• Maintain production configuration baselines, release management, and monthly configuration records during implementation, routing every change through the client's change control and security processes.
• Perform configuration status accounting and monthly audits, assign versions and review histories to every deliverable, and transfer baselines and records at transition.
• Work with AMS/PRISM, the client's contract writing and acquisition management environment, including its interfaces and configuration baselines, Acquisition systems of record: FPDS-NG, SAM.gov, and CPARS

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in information systems, engineering, or a related field.
• 10 or more years of configuration management experience covering configuration identification, baselining, change control, status accounting, and audits.
• Working knowledge of configuration management standards such as SAE/EIA-649.
• Experience with version control and change management tools (e.g., Git, ServiceNow, Jira).
• Experience managing configuration for both documentation and deployed systems or SaaS platforms.
• Ability to pass the client's contractor security vetting and obtain and maintain a PIV credential.

Desired Skills and Competencies:
• CMII or equivalent configuration management certification; ITIL Foundation.

• Experience supporting federal change control boards and FedRAMP or ATO-bound systems.
