Community Development System Implementation Consultant

Community Development System Consultant I

Caselle is a leading provider of integrated ERP and enterprise software solutions purpose-built for local government. For over 40 years, we have partnered with municipalities, counties, and special districts across the United States to modernize their operations-from finance and utilities to payroll and asset management. Our cloud-forward platform empowers public servants to serve their communities more effectively, and our team is driven by the belief that better technology leads to better government.

As a Community Development System Consultant I, you will lead customers through the configuration, implementation, training, and early adoption of Caselle's Community Development software. You serve as a primary point of contact during implementation, working closely with customers to understand their permitting, inspection, code enforcement, and citizen engagement processes and configure the software to support their needs.

You are responsible for configuring and training customers on both the Connect console application and the online Citizen Portal-covering contractors, properties, permit types, permit processing and issuance, inspections, code violations, enforcement actions, fines, and related community development workflows. This role requires a blend of software implementation expertise, customer training skills, and an understanding of municipal community development operations.

• Configure and train customers on the Connect online Citizen Portal, enabling citizens and contractors to submit information, interact with permit processes, and access community development services
• Train customer administrators and end users on both the Connect console application and Citizen Portal functionality
• Guide customers through testing configured workflows and validate that system setup meets agreed-upon requirements prior to go-live

Collaboration & Documentation

• Collaborate with System/Technical Consultants, Product Owners, Support, and Implementation team members to ensure accurate setup, integrations, data conversion, and overall implementation success
• Develop, update, and maintain training materials, implementation documentation, configuration records, and customer-facing guides
• Document customer configuration decisions, training sessions, outstanding items, project progress, and implementation milestones
