The Opportunity
Chief Information Officer
The Chief Information Officer (CIO) serves as the senior executive responsible for the strategic direction, execution, and operational performance of all information technology functions across a complex, multi-site health system including a quaternary academic referral center. This leader will drive enterprise-wide digital transformation, ensuring technology enables clinical excellence, operational efficiency, and a best-in-class patient and provider experience.
The CIO will operate at the intersection of strategy, innovation, cybersecurity, and operational reliability, with accountability for advancing the organization's IT capabilities while maintaining high system availability and information security readiness.
This role requires a visible, dynamic, execution-oriented, and collaborative executive who partners across clinical and administrative leadership to advance institutional priorities and position the organization for continued growth and innovation. This position is an onsite role and does not require hybrid or remote work options.

Responsibilities
Chief Information Officer
The Chief Information Officer will lead the full spectrum of enterprise technology - from defining and executing a system-wide IT strategy, to ensuring operational performance and cybersecurity resilience, to driving digital innovation that transforms how care is delivered. This is both a visionary and an operator: someone who can partner at the executive level to shape strategic direction while building and leading the high-performing team responsible for bringing that vision to life. In a health system where technology is inseparable from mission, the CIO is a critical leadership voice - translating complexity into clarity, risk into opportunity, and ambition into execution.
Develop and drive a bold, forward-looking IT and digital-first strategy that directly advances clinical excellence, quality and operational performance
Balance transformational long-term initiatives with operational discipline - ensuring reliability and resilience are never sacrificed for innovation
Continuously assess capability gaps and emerging opportunities, translating them into a coherent roadmap for next-generation digital infrastructure
Provide unified technology leadership across all sites, establishing scalable architecture, enterprise-wide standards, and a culture of continuous performance optimization
Own the availability, resilience, and performance of all enterprise systems - including the electronic health record platform, the enterprise resource planning platform, the imaging platform, clinical applications, enterprise analytics, biomedical equipment, core data and voice infrastructure, end-user computing, and mobile application development
Champion scalable digital solutions that meaningfully improve quality and safety, patient access, care delivery, patient experience, research capabilities, and financial performance
Exhibit financial discipline in the implementation of IT capabilities ensuring that the returns on investment are clear and achievable
Set the strategic direction for enterprise cybersecurity while remaining hands-on in enterprise risk assessment, incident response, and mitigation
Ensure full regulatory compliance and uphold rigorous standards for data protection, privacy, and information security across all systems and partners
Establish clear accountability frameworks that tie IT delivery to measurable business and clinical outcomes
Elevate IT service management with a relentless focus on end-user experience, service quality, and operational responsiveness
Build a proactive, intelligence-driven posture that anticipates vulnerabilities rather than reacting to them
Lead the integration and adoption of emerging technologies - including artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced analytics - into clinical and operational workflows to drive measurable outcomes
Create the organizational conditions for sustained innovation: structured experimentation, rapid iteration, and disciplined scaling of what works
Proactively surface emerging risks, opportunities, and tradeoffs to senior leadership, ensuring full transparency and no surprises
Build credibility across clinical, operational, and administrative stakeholders by consistently delivering on commitments and communicating with clarity
Recruit, develop, and retain a high-performing IT organization capable of executing at the pace and complexity of a leading health system
Cultivate a culture defined by accountability, intellectual curiosity, and a bias toward action
Lead with humility and service while holding the organization to the highest standards of execution - modeling the behaviors you expect at every level
