Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) and Chancellor Dr. Steven R. Gonzales invite inquiries, applications, and nominations for the District's Chief Information Officer (CIO).

The CIO reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer, is a member of the Chancellor's Executive Council, and is the most senior executive officer responsible for providing leadership and direction to the units of the Information Technology Services (ITS) division.

The CIO is responsible for system-wide planning, budgeting, security, coordination and integration of the information technology systems and resources that support MCCCD's business, academic, and student goals.

Please make an application promptly if you are a good match for this role due to high levels of interest.

The next CIO must be a collaborative leader who will work with their ITS leadership team to partner with other district divisions and the individual colleges to provide reliable, accessible, and secure enterprise systems and infrastructure.

In doing so, the CIO is responsible for providing direction and leadership in the review of present IT systems and methods, and in the formation of new and revised systems that will position the ITS division to significantly improve the student experience across all colleges by providing student support through integrated processes and technology solutions.

The successful candidate will provide energetic vision and develop a service-oriented culture, promoting open communication channels and enhancing relationships with stakeholders throughout the District, while being appreciative of the culture of each individual College within the District.
