Job Summary:
University Information Technology is seeking an Executive Director
of Administration & Chief of Staff (EDACOS). This is a full-time
(1.00 FTE),12-month, professional faculty position.
Reporting to the Vice Provost & Chief Information Officer (CIO),
the UIT Executive Director of Administration and Chief of Staff
(EDACOS) is a dynamic and strategic leader within the Office of the
CIO. This role demands a strong, decisive individual with proven
experience in talent management and a relentless drive to achieve
results. As a key proponent of the 'art of possibilities,' this
role is also crucial for the CIO's ambition to remain at the
forefront of educational excellence and innovation.
As a key thought partner to the CIO, the EDACOS will develop and
maintain close working relationships with the CIO and stakeholders,
both internal and external to UIT including UIT's HR Strategic
Partner to advance all priorities and initiatives. The EDACOS
reports directly to the CIO and serves as the primary contact on
all matters involving the Office of the CIO.
The EDACOS will support daily, mid-term, and long-term activities
and programs that advance the CIO's agenda, ensuring that goals and
objectives are consistently met. This role requires adaptability as
priority areas evolve over time. The EDACOS will build and maintain
strong relationships with the CIO Executive Team and respond to
time-sensitive and urgent situations, requiring 24/7 availability
during crises. This position will be responsible for developing and
overseeing the management of the UIT $XXM budget. Balancing daily
tasks with a broader portfolio of project work is essential.
As a member of the CIO Executive Team, the EDACOS will oversee the
annual IT Roadmap, IT Talent Development & Management, program
project portfolio, and financial and human resource planning and
allocations. The EDACOS will have the authority and responsibility
for effective planning and execution of IT strategies, managing
human and fiscal resources, fostering business relationships,
ensuring excellent customer service, and maintaining intra- and
inter-institutional relationships.
A critical aspect of this role is leveraging data to drive
decisions. The EDACOS will establish key performance indicators,
develop and maintain executive-level reports and dashboards, and
use data analytics to provide visibility into the IT department's
performance and inform strategic adjustments.
This role is crucial in ensuring that IT talent is continuously
growing in skills and capabilities, and that the UIT portfolio of
activities is effectively and efficiently aligned with OSU IT
strategies. The ideal candidate will be a proactive leader with a
strong track record of managing talent, proven record of managing
resources (including human and financial), driving organizational
success, fostering collaborative relationships across the
institution, and making data-driven decisions.
In this role, EDACOS will also have direct responsibility for
spearheading the strategy and execution of talent optimization in
the wake of a comprehensive digital and business process
transformation. This pivotal role will collaborate closely with
University HR and University IT leaders to redefine the IT
workforce landscape, considering the implications of artificial
intelligence, competitive alternative knowledge paths, escalating
personnel costs, and transformative digital and business
processes.
The incumbent will be instrumental in reimagining and reshaping a
dynamic, ever evolving, and highly productive workforce that breaks
away from traditional norms. Leveraging IT and our large
administrative modernization program (AMP) impacted positions as a
test-bed, this role will pioneer innovative organizational
structures and foster a culture of continuous growth and
possibility and help OSU design the future IT workforce as a highly
engaged, productive and well-balanced team.
