It is among the world's most trusted sources of management education and thought leadership. For more than a century, the School's faculty has combined a passion for teaching with rigorous research conducted alongside practitioners at world-leading organizations to educate leaders who make a difference in the world.

Job Description
Harvard Business School (HBS) seeks a Chief Information Officer who will help define how the institution transforms amidst all the opportunities and risks in the technological waves here and coming.
Technology is no longer simply an operational function. It has become an institutional capability that shapes teaching, research, learning, administration, and engagement with alumni and the global business community. The next CIO will help HBS determine how technologies such as artificial intelligence, enterprise data, digital platforms, and emerging capabilities become enduring strategic assets for the School and how the School models their deployment for higher education and for business more broadly.

This CIO will help Harvard Business School answer a defining question for the coming decade: How should technology shape the future of research, teaching, learning?
Success will require a leader who is equally comfortable shaping enterprise strategy, advising senior leadership, building organizational alignment, and helping diverse stakeholders navigate an increasingly technology-enabled future.
Qualifications
The successful candidate will be an accomplished technology executive with experience leading enterprise strategy, digital transformation, and organizational change within complex institutions. They will possess the strategic perspective to help shape institutional direction while maintaining the credibility to engage faculty, administrators, technology professionals, and senior leaders as trusted partners.
Experience should include:
15+ years of information technology experience including executive leadership within a complex technology unit.
Enterprise technology strategy or large-scale digital transformation.
Artificial intelligence, enterprise data, digital platforms, cybersecurity, and cloud technologies.
Leadership across decentralized or highly matrixed organizations.
