About The Opportunity Our client is expanding its public sector transportation practice and recently secured several new Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) modernization programs across multiple states. This team develops and supports a suite of software platforms used by state transportation agencies to modernize citizen services, licensing, registration, compliance, and other DMV-related operations. As part of this growth, the organization is establishing a new Center of Excellence in Frisco, TX that will serve as a central hub for engineering, security, DevOps, architecture, and functional delivery teams supporting these programs nationwide. Significant investments are being made in both technology and personnel, and the Frisco office is expected to become a key delivery center for future state contracts.

Translate technical concepts and proposed changes into clear written summaries and recommendations for non-technical and executive audiences. Evaluate incoming requests for new functionality or tooling, document the proposed changes, and present them to leadership and review boards for approval. Partner with development and application support teams throughout the SDLC to ensure requirements are understood, implemented correctly, and validated. Facilitate working sessions across multiple technical teams and manage the intake, tracking, and prioritization of requests. Present documentation, recommendations, and status updates to high‑level personnel, including VPs, C‑suite, agency leadership, and governing or steering committees. Support the production environment by helping triage, document, and clarify issues and change requests as they arise.

Experience presenting documentation and recommendations to high‑level personnel such as a board of directors, VPs, or C‑suite. Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile/Scrum delivery methodologies. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and non‑technical audiences. Ability to work fully onsite in Frisco, TX (5 days/week).
