Manager, Deployment Engineering

Lexington, South Carolina, United States

The Company 

Versaterm is a global public safety solutions company helping agencies transform how they serve their communities. Since 1977, we’ve been building an ecosystem of intuitive tools designed for public safety agencies, forensic labs, court systems, schools and other institutions. Through purposeful integrations and a selective growth strategy, we focus on improving workflows to help our customers achieve more efficient operations, better service and more just outcomes.

Our teams are driven by innovation, expertise and an unwavering commitment to customer success. As we continue to grow and expand our ecosystem, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to solutions that enhance community safety and transform the future of public safety technology. If you’re passionate about making a meaningful difference, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

We are looking for a customer-focused, detail-oriented Manager to lead our Deployment Engineering and Customer Support teams, ensuring a seamless deployment process and reliable long-term support for our customers. The Manager of our Deployment Engineering and Customer Support will be responsible for overseeing the end-to-end customer onboarding, integration, and ongoing support experience.

In this role, the Manager leads the Deployment Engineering team in planning, coordinating, and ensuring the successful deployment of custom data integration interfaces to a variety of public safety software systems. While the Manager’s primary role is to provide leadership and coordination—ensuring engineers have clear technical requirements, realistic timelines, and the resources needed to execute deployments efficiently—there are occasions when the Manager will take ownership of a deployment directly to maintain schedules, address complex challenges, cover transitions, or ensure a high-priority project’s success. This includes managing project schedules, removing blockers, coordinating with customers and internal stakeholders, and monitoring quality standards for all technical deliverables.

In addition, the Manager leads the Customer Support team to ensure a responsive, customer-focused approach to post-deployment support. This includes establishing and tracking performance metrics, setting service-level expectations, overseeing incident resolution processes, ensuring proper escalation handling, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The Manager works closely with both teams to identify recurring issues, implement preventative measures, and refine processes to improve customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

This is a client-facing position, which would require remote presentation and communication skills on a regular basis. The Manager must have a strong ability to collaborate effectively both internally and externally, can overcome complex problems, and the ability to deploy solutions in an organized, thorough, and timely manner.  

This position can be based at any of our offices across the United States or Canada or performed remotely from a home office. Preference will be given to candidates who are available to work on-site at one of our offices.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and develop the Deployment Engineering and Customer Support teams to deliver exceptional customer experience from onboarding through long-term support.
  • Oversee the planning, scheduling, and execution of integration deployments, ensuring projects meet technical requirements, timelines, and quality standards.
  • Serve as an escalation point for complex deployments and high-impact customer issues, stepping in to carry out deployments when needed.
  • Partner with customers and internal stakeholders to define scope, technical specifications, and success criteria for integrations.
  • Guide the team in applying ETL fundamentals and best practices to deliver reliable, high-quality data interfaces for both cloud and on-premises integrations.
  • Monitor performance metrics for both deployment success rates and customer support service levels, using them to drive continuous improvement.
  • Ensure timely and effective resolution of escalated support cases, coordinating across teams when necessary.
  • Facilitate quality control and validation reviews to confirm accuracy and completeness of deployed integrations.
  • Foster clear, consistent communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders during deployments and support engagements.
  • Implement and refine processes to streamline onboarding, reduce recurring incidents, and improve response times.
  • Oversee documentation of integration designs, deployment procedures, knowledge base repository, and support solutions for internal and customer use.
  • Mentor and coach team members, promoting professional growth and technical skill development.
  • Collaborate with project management to align deployment roadmaps with strategic priorities.
  • Analyze support trends and customer feedback to identify opportunities for product and process improvements.
  • Advocate for the customer’s perspective in cross-functional discussions to enhance both deployment and post-deployment experiences.

What You’ll Bring

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with customers, team members, and executive stakeholders.
  • 5+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role, with a track record of managing escalations and ensuring positive customer outcomes.
  • 5+ years of experience in Information Technology or Engineering, primarily with ETL integrations and customer support environments.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Management Information Systems, Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent work experience.
  • Demonstrated experience leading technical teams, including performance management, coaching, and skill development.
  • Proficiency using and mentoring PowerShell or another scripting language to automate workflows, manipulate data, and improve support efficiency.
  • Strong SQL mentorship expertise, including writing complex queries with multiple joins, CTEs, and dynamic T-SQL statements.
  • Proven ability to oversee and improve customer support operations, including ticket prioritization, SLA adherence, and knowledge base management.
  • Experience managing technical projects from kickoff through completion, coordinating resources, timelines, and deliverables.
  • Meticulous and delivering consistent, high-quality results to customers.
  • A customer-centric mindset with a commitment to keeping customers engaged, supported, and satisfied throughout their lifecycle.
  • A genuine desire to support public safety agencies and the communities they serve.
  • Ability to collaborate across functions to resolve complex technical challenges and streamline processes.
  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills to manage multiple concurrent deployments and support initiatives.
  • Ability to pass criminal background checks with U.S. and Canadian public safety agencies.

You'll Succeed if You Have:

  • Proven experience leading and developing technical teams, ideally in both deployment/integration and customer support functions.
  • A background in ETL software integrations, including designing and validating data transformation workflows.
  • Strong data analysis skills, with the ability to identify patterns, troubleshoot discrepancies, and ensure data integrity.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
