The University of La Verne is seeking a strategic, highly organized, and operationally focused leader to serve as Executive Director, Technology, Operations, & Strategy within the Office of the CDIO. This newly created position will act as the operational backbone of the technology organization, overseeing budgeting, vendor management, project governance, departmental operations, reporting, and administrative leadership.
The Executive Director, Technology, Operations, & Strategy serves as a trusted advisor and right-hand partner to the CDIO, ensuring the efficient execution of strategic initiatives while maintaining strong operational discipline across the IT organization. This role will help drive accountability, improve processes, support decision-making, and coordinate priorities across teams and stakeholders throughout the University.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned operations professional who can bring structure, organization, and business acumen to a growing technology organization. While a strong understanding of technology operations is beneficial, this position is not intended to be deeply technical. Instead, success will come from leadership, operational excellence, financial stewardship, and the ability to translate strategy into execution.
Minimum Qualifications: 7+ years of progressively responsible experience in operations, administration, project management, business management, or organizational leadership. Experience managing budgets, financial planning, vendor relationships, and operational processes. Demonstrated success supporting senior executives and leading cross-functional initiatives. Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation communication skills. Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience supporting a CIO/CDIO, executive leadership team, or technology organization. Experience in higher education, nonprofit, or complex multi-stakeholder environments. Knowledge of project portfolio management, governance, and organizational performance measurement. Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA), Public Administration (MPA), Higher Education, or a related field. PMP, Lean, Six Sigma, or related professional certification.
Benefits Summary: Applicants, please note that actual compensation is determined by several factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to job-related skills, depth of experience, certifications, relevant education or training, and specific work location, among others. The offered wage or salary is only one aspect of an employee's total compensation. Benefits include a comprehensive health and wellness plan, tuition remission program for employee, spouse, and dependent children, a generous contribution to the University's 403B retirement plan, and a generous time off plan. Employment is contingent upon successful completion and clearance of a background check and employment verification.
