Vice Chancellor/Chief Information Officer (AVC/CIO)  \nThe Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Officer (AVC/CIO) leads UCR’s campus technology initiatives through appropriate support services, innovative programs, and robust infrastructure that empower the campus to achieve excellence in its teaching, research, public service and patient treatment missions. This forward-thinking, strategic executive reports to the Provost/Executive Vice Chancellor and leads the Information Technology Solutions (ITS) organization by engaging with senior campus administrators, faculty, staff and students through an integrated enterprise approach to workflow, process, data management, technology and culture. The AVC/CIO role encompasses three broad areas of responsibility: 1) steward multi-year strategic planning initiatives, including evaluation of innovative and emerging technologies; 2) serve as a campus advisor and strategic partner by fostering technical partnerships with UCR deans, faculty, vice chancellors and librarians in support of distributed computing initiatives; 3) provide leadership responsibility for a highly technical organization, including key matrixed relationships with campus units.  \nOur ideal candidate is someone who is well-balanced as both a technologist and a business operator. You should have experience deploying and maintaining software applications across a complex organizational structure, have managed an internal development team at some point, and know how to deliver basic IT support services to an organization of 3,000+ constituents. Higher education should be a passion or area of intellectual curiosity, but not required work experience. What is required is knowledge and desire to implement modern approaches to everything IT related (software selection, development methodologies, technical infrastructure, IT management, and IT service delivery) and to be able to work in a large and complex environment.  \nUCR is looking for an AVC/CIO who can harness new IT opportunities in support of the UCR community (faculty, researchers, students, administrators, etc. ) . Historically, UCR made large investments in developing in-house software and technical infrastructure at a time when SaaS solutions or Cloud Infrastructure did not yet exist. The result was a portfolio of ~150 transactional systems/applications developers and systems administrators burdened with maintaining these systems, unable to keep pace with new business requirements and a desire to implement innovations. UCR’s annual IT budget is $29M with ~140 IT FTEs distributed through campus. We are looking for someone to continue the work of the outgoing AVC/CIO who began the process of thoughtfully restructuring UCR’s IT portfolio by working with the campus constituents to identify opportunities to transition to simpler, easier to maintain solutions, thereby creating funding for newer, innovative technologies to benefit the research and classroom learning environment for students and faculty.  \nAmong the immediate challenges and opportunities the AVC/CIO will tackle:  \n1. Evaluate and determine the appropriate level of centralization or decentralization amongst the current IT groups across campus. Work collaboratively with Colleges to create the appropriate reporting structure and drive accountability and adherence to the Office of the AVC/CIO policies.  \n2. Evaluate the current application software portfolio and assess options for their long-term viability, including considering outside vendor solutions. The office of the AVC/CIO should bring a mentality that questions whether business “requirements” are truly requirements, or whether UCRs  \nprocesses can be adapted to standard vendor solutions rather than making costly software customizations. Define criteria for whether software projects should be funded. Evaluate the opportunity to transition more of the technical infrastructure to Cloud solutions.  \n3. Bring a strong perspective on IT best","cbCaih3Ww2xzATlS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih3Ww2xzATlS","pdf",499467,6,"English","# Associate Vice Chancellor/Chief Information Officer (AVC/CIO)\n## Role and responsibilities\n## Ideal candidate profile\n## UCR context and technology portfolio\n## Immediate challenges and opportunities","[{\"question\":\"What does the AVC/CIO role cover at UCR?\",\"answer\":\"The AVC/CIO leads UCR’s campus technology initiatives and the Information Technology Solutions (ITS) organization, focusing on strategic planning, campus advising and partnerships, and leadership of a highly technical organization.\"},{\"question\":\"What background and skills are required for the ideal candidate?\",\"answer\":\"The ideal candidate should balance technology expertise with business operations experience, including deploying and maintaining software in complex organizations, managing internal development teams, delivering IT support for 3,000+ constituents, and applying modern IT approaches across selection, development, infrastructure, and service delivery.\"},{\"question\":\"What immediate challenges will the AVC/CIO tackle?\",\"answer\":\"Key priorities include deciding centralization vs. decentralization, evaluating long-term viability of the application portfolio (including vendor options) and funding criteria, transitioning infrastructure toward cloud solutions, strengthening IT and cybersecurity best practices, building a high-performance team, supporting faculty innovation, developing student success technology, and maintaining support for 800+ websites and audience-facing channels.\"}]","UCR AVC/CIO Leadership Profile - 2020 | PDF",1789334883]
