Work is broad in scope requiring extensive judgment in adopting techniques to meet the information technology requirements, specifications, standards, and procedures of a complex enterprise-wide system. Work requires attention to detail and understanding of the impact that IT service delivery has across not only the Executive Branch, but also the State of Indiana broadly. As the backbone of the State’s IT operations, IOT’s efforts have a direct, critical role in facilitating government services from agencies to the citizenry. This position carries both high visibility and high expectations, requiring exceptional knowledge, and relationship building. The selected candidate will be counted upon to be an exceptional representative of IOT to stakeholders at all levels, at all times.

We are looking for a results-driven strategic planner to assess the short and long-term goals of IOT and suggest ways to accomplish them. To be successful in this role, you must have excellent analytical skills and be able to use sound logic to make observations about current methods and where strategic opportunities exist at the agency and enterprise levels.
