Assistant Vice President (AVP), IT Strategy & Engagement (211)

Job Description

Creighton University’s Information Technology organization is seeking an Assistant
Vice President (AVP) for IT Strategy and Engagement to lead institution-wide IT strategy, governance, and stakeholder engagement across a
complex higher-education environment. Reporting to the Chief Information Officer, the AVP owns Creighton IT’s multi-year strategy and its
campus relationships.

This is an executive-level role. You will set the IT roadmap in partnership with university leadership, build
the governance that determines how technology investments are prioritized, and serve as the primary bridge between IT and the academic,
research, and administrative communities it supports.

A central part of this work is building strong partnerships across campus. The
AVP engages directly with faculty, students, and administrative leaders to align technology with what the university needs and to advance
its academic and research mission.

Who This Role Is For

This role is a fit for a seasoned IT leader who has
set strategy at the institutional or enterprise level within a university or a comparably complex, shared-governance environment (academic
medicine, government, or a large nonprofit).

What You’ll Do

• Own Creighton IT’s multi-year strategy and
  roadmap, aligned to the university’s mission and strategic plan.
• Partner with academic, research, and administrative leaders to
  prioritize technology investments when demand exceeds capacity.
• Build and lead IT governance-the structures and processes that drive
  transparent, shared decision-making.
• Lead stakeholder engagement across faculty, students, and administrative units to align
  technology with academic and research priorities.
• Represent IT in executive and institutional planning, advising leadership on
  technology risks, trends, and opportunities.
• Develop the IT team’s capacity for strategic thinking, stakeholder engagement, and
  change management.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, business,
  organizational leadership, or a related field.
• 7-10 years of progressive IT leadership in strategy, planning, or stakeholder
  engagement, including direct experience in higher education or a comparably complex, shared-governance environment.
• A track record
  of owning institution- or enterprise-wide IT strategy at the executive level-not solely leading a single function or
  department.
• Demonstrated success building trust and partnerships across groups with competing priorities, and leading organizational
  change.

Preferred

• Master’s degree in a relevant field.
• Direct higher education experience,
  including familiarity with shared governance and faculty dynamics.
• Experience designing IT governance frameworks and
  institution-wide technology roadmaps.
