Vice President and Chief Information Officer

Dartmouth College seeks an ambitious, collaborative, and strategic leader to serve as its next Vice President and Chief Information Officer (CIO). Reporting to Provost Santiago Schnell, the CIO will lead Dartmouth's Information, Technology & Consulting (ITC) organization and serve as the institution's senior technology strategist, aligning technology investments, operations, and innovation with Dartmouth's academic, research, and administrative priorities. The CIO will oversee enterprise technology, cybersecurity, research computing, enterprise systems, and business transformation while providing strategic guidance on technology governance, resource allocation, operational resilience, and emerging technologies. As a trusted advisor to senior leadership, the CIO will build partnerships across the institution and help position technology as a catalyst for institutional success.

The CIO will join Dartmouth at a defining moment under the leadership of President Sian Leah Beilock, as the institution advances ambitious goals around innovation, research excellence, student well-being, sustainability, and community engagement. With approximately $200 million in annual research funding and a growing emphasis on artificial intelligence, data-enabled discovery, and interdisciplinary collaboration, Dartmouth offers an exceptional opportunity for a leader who can leverage technology to amplify the institution's impact and advance its distinctive mission.

The successful candidate will be a relationship-oriented leader who thrives in a decentralized environment. They will bring the ability to align diverse stakeholders around shared priorities, communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, and build trust through collaboration, transparency, and sound judgment. In collaboration with the Dartmouth community, the CIO will establish a clear technology vision, guide organizational change, and foster a culture of innovation, service, and continuous improvement while ensuring that technology decisions remain firmly grounded in Dartmouth's priorities.

The next CIO will bring significant experience leading complex technology organizations, ideally within an academic or research environment. They will have a demonstrated record of technology strategy, organizational transformation, financial stewardship, and talent development, coupled with the executive presence and collaborative leadership style necessary to advance Dartmouth's technology needs in partnership with faculty, staff, students, and trustees.
