About the Opportunity

The Research & Public Information (PI) Business Line CIO serves as the senior IT executive accountable for all aspects of technology delivery for these two critical Federal Reserve System business lines, which serve as the public's primary entry points into the Federal Reserve and are essential for trust, transparency, and public confidence.

This executive, reporting to the System CIO, oversees enterprise-level technology across all 12 Districts, implementing and maintaining state-of-the-art high-performance computing environments that enable high-quality academic research, expert policy advice and analysis critical to the monetary policy mission, and collaboration with external colleagues in academia, while also providing clear messaging and tools to translate complex economic concepts into plain language, combat misinformation, and strengthen public confidence in the Fed's independence and integrity.

Critical to success is the ability to serve as a strategic communicator, trusted advisor, and consensus-builder who partners closely with business leaders to ensure technological initiatives directly align with and enable business strategies and goals.

The leader must skillfully build alignment across organizational boundaries, convene productive dialogue among stakeholders, and bring business partners along on the technology journey—translating proposed paths into clear, actionable outcomes that foster organic buy-in and ensure successful adoption of technological solutions.

This role requires balancing enterprise standardization with nimble, entrepreneurial approaches while representing technology interests on business committees and serving as a liaison between System IT and local Reserve Bank leadership within a matrixed organization.
