Brown University seeks a technology leader with a proven record of systems development and integration, excellent change-management skills, and a strategic orientation towards customers and clients to serve as its next Assistant Chief Information Officer, Enterprise Applications (ACIO-EA). Reporting to the Vice President for Information Technology & Chief Information Officer and serving as a member of the Office of Information Technology Senior Leadership Team, the ACIO-EA will advance Brown’s mission by leading an enterprise systems team that provides innovative technology, data, and digital solutions for faculty, students, and staff to meet their academic, business, and administrative objectives.
The ACIO-EA is a strong collaborator, creative problem-solver, and strategic leader with direct oversight for the Enterprise Application Systems (EAS) group, coordinating the resources, services, and budgets for the University’s administrative applications and enterprise systems. The ACIO-EA will be responsible for building strong and productive relationships with University academic and administrative leaders and their staffs and for communicating with and advising departments across campus to provide efficient and effective digital solutions for the University. The ACIO-EA will work with stakeholders across the University, determining policies, procedures, and strategies for effective implementation and management of enterprise applications and related technologies. The position requires an individual with proven collaborative, strategic, executive, change-management, resource-management, and client-engagement experience.
The ACIO-EA will manage talent and resources across a number of existing teams: HRIS/Finance, Business Intelligence, Business Systems and Integration, Student Systems, Web Services, and Digital Engagement. The ACIO-EA will be an effective leader with knowledge of business management and a deep knowledge of enterprise applications and the underlying technology including experience managing both software-as-a-service and on-premise deployments. They serve as a consultant and advisor to Senior IT staff on advanced technologies and evaluate the business impact through cost/benefit, life-cycle, security, and other kinds of analysis. The ACIO-EA recommends and incorporates technology strategy in alignment with OIT and University goals and contributes to the effectiveness of governance-based decisions about IT investments and divestments.
The ACIO-EA will join OIT as the organization positions itself to play a central role in Brown University’s drive to establish an institutional data strategy with appropriate policy and security provisions and with well-chosen systems to enable efficient and secure optimization of institutional data and appropriate use of it for planning, assessment, and reporting purposes.
In all their work, the ACIO-EA will be a consensus builder and an integrator of people, processes, and technology in a rich and diverse digital environment, helping to make OIT, like the University, more than the sum of its parts.
Qualifications
The complexity of this position requires a leadership approach that is engaging, imaginative, and collaborative, along with the ability to work with other OIT leaders to set the best balance between enterprise application strategies, other OIT priorities, and the myriad needs of clients and partners across the University.
The successful candidate will bring important skills, attributes, and competencies to OIT and Brown. Chief among these are organizational and emotional intelligence, domain expertise, change-management skills, a commitment to disciplined, purposeful innovation in thought and practice, and experience advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. They will bring knowledge of established and emerging technologies balanced with the experience and ability to think institutionally and recommend appropriate investments. They will have the ability to earn the trust of colleagues at all levels so as to advise OIT and Brown leadership on how information technology can best support and enhance teaching and learning, research, and administrative operations. They will have the empathy and interpersonal skills needed to lead, engage, and motivate a cadre of loyal, talented IT professionals who work in service to and partnership with clients and customers across and beyond campus.
The ACIO-EA must therefore bring demonstrated skill in cultivating partnerships and fostering collaboration and innovation while leading an enterprise applications team that serves a complex enterprise with multiple centers of gravity. They will bring experience in developing strategies for a decentralized, multi-constituency organization and a track record of success working collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams. They must additionally bring a reputation for integrity and openness and a blend of expertise, demeanor, and discipline that inspires confidence at all levels.
Alongside these competencies and experiences, the ACIO-EA will possess the following specific qualifications:
- An undergraduate degree from an accredited educational institution; a graduate degree is preferred but not required.
- 8+ years of IT experience, preferably within an academic environment.
- 5-years of leadership experience in complex, mission-driven organizations with multiple constituent groups and inclusive decision-making practices, including engagement with executive leadership and governance.
Experience in a research university with an academic health system is preferred; candidates with a public-sector or corporate background that entails exposure to or engagement with teaching or research, or with patient care or large-scale data analytics, are invited to apply.
