Description:

Strategic Project Manager to lead the replacement of its legacy probation case management system. This role bridges technical infrastructure, legislative and policy compliance, and the daily experience of probation officers, judicial staff, and justice-involved individuals across Colorados 23 judicial districts. The position will operate within a multi-level governance framework, supporting executive decision-making, managing stakeholder alignment, and facilitating issue escalation across business, technology, and judicial leadership.

About the project

The Branchs ICON/JPOD Case Management Information System provides probation case management statewide and tracks all felonies, juvenile cases, and about 90% of misdemeanors (CICJIS). Replacing it is a multi-year, high-visibility modernization that touches every probation department in the state.

ICON/JPOD also exchanges data with partner agencies through the Colorado Integrated Criminal Justice Information System (CICJIS), including the Department of Corrections, the Division of Youth Services, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and the Colorado District Attorneys Council. The new system must preserve those exchanges without interruption.

Success means more than a working system. It means probation officers spend less time on data entry and more time with clients, supervisors get reliable data for decisions, and justice-involved individuals experience clearer, fairer, and more consistent supervision.

Strategic leadership and governance

• Lead the full project lifecycle, from requirements and procurement through design, build, data migration, testing, statewide rollout, and decommissioning of ICON/JPOD.
• Develop and maintain the master schedule, budget, scope baseline, and benefits realization plan.
• Translate the Branchs strategic goals for probation into clear project objectives and measurable success criteria.

Vendor and procurement management

• Support the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of a solution vendor under state procurement rules.
• Hold vendors and internal teams accountable for quality, schedule, and cost.

Legislative and policy compliance

• Track Colorado statutes, Chief Justice Directives, and probation standards affecting system requirements, and build them into the solution.
• Coordinate with legal, policy, and research staff so the system supports required reporting, risk and needs assessments, and evidence-based practices.

Stakeholder engagement and change management

• Engage chief probation officers, officers, supervisors, judges, court staff, and partner agencies across all 23 judicial districts, urban and rural alike.
• Lead human-centered design activities, such as field observation, user testing, and feedback loops with frontline staff.
• Direct organizational change management, training, communications, and go-live support.
• Make sure the client-facing parts of the system are accessible, plain-language, and equitable for justice-involved individuals.

Risk, quality, and reporting

• Identify, track, and mitigate risks and issues; elevate decisions promptly.
• Plan cutover so probation supervision is never interrupted.
• Report status, risks, and outcomes to leadership.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelors degree in project management, information systems, public administration, criminal justice, business, or a related field
