vCAD Administrator

The Company

• Versaterm is a PE-backed, high-growth SaaS company building a fully integrated platform across the entire public safety ecosystem — dispatch, law enforcement, forensics, courts, and beyond
• .

We've

grown through strategic acquisitions and deep product investment. What connects all of it is a single purpose: give public safety agencies the tools and insights to make better decisions in high-stakes moments.

When a 911 call is answered, a detective investigates a case, or a forensic lab processes evidence, there's a good chance our software is working behind the scenes. That's been true for over four decades.

AI is central to where

we're

going. Not as a feature but as core infrastructure.

We're

embedding intelligence directly into the workflows our customers rely on every day, and we're doing it alongside them. Our customers tell us what the mission demands. We build what answers it.

This work attracts a specific kind of person — someone who wants to be pushed by great people, build things that outlast a sprint cycle, and go home knowing the work connected back to something real.

The Role

The vCAD Administrator is Versaterm's dedicated, embedded resource for the New Brunswick provincial customer (NB911) and its Regional Partner Agencies (RPAs), beginning with the Saint John Police and Fire PSAP and Codiac Fire PSAP. You will be the primary person supporting and maintaining the unified computer aided dispatch (CAD) and mobile data (MDT) systems, including the CAD/Mobile geo file and map displays.

This role begins during implementation, at Workshop #1 for Saint John, and continues through go-live and ongoing operations.

Relationship Management and Reporting

Act as the resident expert on each agency's CAD configuration, and advise on new policies, processes, or technology implementations.

Apply sound judgment to resolve complex or ambiguous issues independently, escalating to Versaterm teams when needed and keeping the Customer and RPAs informed.

Help manage cross-department needs and dependencies within the applications.

Represent the Managed Service Provider to the Business Relationship Manager (NB911) to coordinate changes, updates, and corrections.

Participate in meetings and work sessions on CAD/MDT administration.

Submit regular system status reports and a monthly report covering all incident activity and work performed.
