Overview:

WOOD is seeking an Enterprise Configuration Manager who understands that modern configuration management is no longer static documentation, it is a dynamic discipline embedded within cloud, DevSecOps, and automated enterprise environments.

This role supports enterprise IT environments by strengthening configuration management rigor while modernizing how CM is implemented across large-scale, mission-critical systems. The ideal candidate brings strong foundational CM discipline and understands how digital transformation, automation, and AI-enabled tooling are reshaping how configuration is tracked, governed, and audited in today's environments.

This is not a legacy CM role. We are looking for someone who can bridge traditional configuration management principles with modern deployment practices.

Application Process: Interested candidates should submit their resume detailing their qualifications and experience.

• Familiarity with modern deployment models (cloud, virtualized, containerized environments)
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps workflows, and infrastructure-as-code concepts
• Ability to translate CM principles into technically evolving environments
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Highly Desired

• Experience working in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GovCloud, or hybrid enterprise models)
• Experience with tools such as ServiceNow CMDB, Git-based repositories, automation frameworks, or deployment orchestration platforms
