Vice President, Information Technology

The VP of Information Technology is responsible for the delivery and operation of all technology in service of the company’s business objectives. This role leads the engineering teams that build the company’s commercial product, the infrastructure and operations teams that keep its systems running, and the internal systems and support teams that enable workforce productivity. The VP of Information Technology is the primary technology partner to the VP of Product, providing the engineering capability and delivery discipline through which the product vision is realized. This role operates within the technology standards and architecture frameworks established by the VP of Enterprise Architecture and Governance, and is accountable for ensuring that delivery teams build within those standards., Product engineering and delivery

• Manage the operational data infrastructure, including pipeline reliability, data freshness, and integration availability.

Technology operations and governance participation

• Own the operational health of all technology systems - uptime, performance, incident management, and disaster recovery - and maintain transparent reporting to the COO and executive team.
• Participate actively in the technology governance process established by the VP of Enterprise Architecture and Governance; ensure that the delivery organization understands and respects architecture standards, and surfaces conflicts between delivery requirements and standards promptly rather than resolving them unilaterally.
