Summary:

The mission of the Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) is to create a model correctional system founded on the belief that people can change. We fulfill this mission by fostering a professional culture that empowers staff, promotes personal responsibility, creates opportunities for success, and strengthens communities.

• Establish team goals, performance expectations, standards, processes, and best practices that promote effective service to IDOC business units.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with business leaders, subject-matter experts, IT technical teams, and technology vendors.
• Meet with business units to identify and analyze operational needs, problems, and opportunities and translate business requirements into information that can be evaluated and acted upon by technical IT staff.

• Serve as a primary point of coordination between business units and technical teams throughout the lifecycle of technology requests, projects, system changes, and issue resolution.
• Develop and maintain a Business/IT Roadmap in collaboration with IDOC business units and IT leadership, identifying technology needs, priorities, dependencies, and planned initiatives.
• Develop and maintain an inventory of IDOC business applications and systems, including business ownership, purpose, vendor, lifecycle status, dependencies, and other information necessary to support IT planning and decision-making.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for IDOC's offender management system (Atlas) and coordinate business and our OMS vendor activities associated with system support and improvement.
• Develop and manage processes for evaluating, documenting, prioritizing, and tracking system issues, enhancement requests, and other system changes.
• Coordinate reported system issues with business users and the vendors, including documenting the issue, opening, and tracking vendor support tickets, validating resolution, and communicating status to affected stakeholders.
• Coordinate application changes, releases, upgrades, and implementations with vendors, IT technical teams, and affected business units, including implementation scheduling, business testing, user acceptance, and communication.
• Monitor vendor performance and assist in ensuring services and deliverables meet contractual requirements and IDOC business needs.
• Manage or participate in technology projects and initiatives, including requirements gathering, planning, coordination, risk and issue management, implementation, and stakeholder communication.
