Chief Information Officer

Chief Information Officer

Joyce University of Nursing and Health Sciences is looking for a Chief Information Officer who builds. Joyce is growing, and technology and artificial intelligence will shape how we teach, support students, and deliver the most impact.

You'll bring our technology operation in-house from our current managed-services partner, build the team to run it, and design systems and workflows that serve students and staff across the University. This is a role for an innovator with deep, practical command of building information systems, not a steward of existing infrastructure.

Founded in 1979, Joyce University of Nursing and Health Sciences prepares people to serve as competent professionals, to advance their careers, and to pursue lifelong learning. We're best known for nursing education and run one of the largest nursing programs in Utah, with pre-licensure and post-licensure pathways built for students regardless of their prior college experience. Joyce currently offers its prelicensure nursing programs in 18 states and growing.

Our community serves students, alumni, faculty, and staff from across the United States and internationally.

We're a people-first workplace, named a USA Today Top Workplace for three consecutive years based on employee feedback. Our leadership has set clear priorities around innovation, student outcomes, and access.

This is a chance to build our own technology organization at a growing university that has made technology a top priority.

We recently launched the nation's first 90-credit BSN degree, expanding enrollment, and transforming how we teach. You'll set the technology agenda for that growth and innovation while shaping the team that delivers it: its structure, its key roles, and what we build ourselves versus source from partners. You'll lead the transition without a dip in service and own the technology experience for students, faculty, and staff.

You'll report to the Chief Operating Officer and hold a seat on the President's Cabinet, advising the President, Cabinet, and Board on technology investment, data, AI, and institutional risk.

We're looking for an innovator and a builder.

At Joyce University, we invest in the success and well-being of our employees. As part of our team, you'll enjoy:

• A generous self-directed PTO policy
• Paid holidays and a 401(k) with employer match
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Fully paid short-term and long-term disability coverage
• Professional development opportunities and top-notch continuing education assistance
• A supportive, collaborative team environment where your voice matters

We welcome candidates from inside and outside higher education. What matters most is a record of using technology to move an institution forward.

The base salary range for this position is $250,000$325,000. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, leadership scope, and market considerations. We offer a comprehensive benefits package.
