Chief Information Officer | Franciscan University of Steubenville | Steubenville, OH

At our partner institution, Franciscan University of Steubenville

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking an individual with a strong desire to deeply understand the needs of higher education leaders, then apply technology to address their greatest challenges and maximize their greatest opportunities. Our CIOs are expected to be skilled technologists and team leaders, of course. But engaging leaders and constituents across the institution as a business enabler is a critical skill for the new breed of CIO that wants a seat at the table and an opportunity to drive the institution forward and help fulfill its mission in fast-changing times.

Our CIOs thrill our customers by providing exceptional, proactive customer service that exceeds their expectations. They balance the ability to deliver creative and innovative tactical and technical solutions with the needs to drive towards the larger, strategic vision. They have a willingness to collaborate with fellow CIOs and leaders and ask for help when needed. They get in front of challenges, turn them into opportunities, and see them through to resolution. They take ownership of opportunities to improve and share successes with their teams. They foster teamwork among their direct reports by example, identifying and developing talent, providing a positive, productive working environment, and nurturing a culture of collaboration, engagement, and commitment with every member of the team.

How will you be engaged?

A Dynamic Campus CIO is assigned to our partner institutions as their CIO, either on site or remote based on the partner’s needs. Our CIOs partner with our client Contract Administrator, often the CFO, Provost or the President / Chancellor and reports directly to the Dynamic Campus Operations Division. Our CIOs are deeply engaged as a trusted strategic advisor to the institution, interacting with the President, Cabinet, Board of Directors, and a wide variety of stakeholders on and off campus. This may include all department and functional leaders and faculty committees to drive strategic decisions that drive institutional outcomes. Strong interpersonal skills and a consultative approach to building rapport and understanding business needs are a must.

How will you be supported?

Our CIOs and the site teams are actively supported by everyone in Dynamic Campus. Each CIO joins our team of CIOs and has access to them for counsel, communities of practice, and deep collaboration. Our CIOs have a dedicated site staff augmented through access to a rich portfolio of professional services that include our Dynamic Campus Talent Cloud, a nationwide team of higher education IT experts supporting the needs of our partners on campus or remotely.

Our CIOs have access to a comprehensive resource library of best practice policies, procedures, and documents, and an exceptional HR team that supports all aspects of both personal and staff HR needs. Each CIO is fully supported by the Operations Leadership Team, and the direct support of the assigned Vice President of Operations.

Our philosophy of “One Dynamic Campus” ensures that you can rely on the combined resources of the entire organization to deliver world-class service to your institution, allowing you and your team to do mission-critical work on behalf of our partners and ensuring your institution sees its IT function as a lasting competitive differentiator that propels the institution forward.
