About The Opportunity
Technology support across the FRS (“System IT”) is functionally unifying and organizationally aligning to business line customers and enterprise shared services. This System IT executive leadership role within the Federal Reserve System (FRS) involves managing District IT & Corporate Services portfolio while balancing System-wide and local responsibilities. The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO reports to the System CIO and partners with national business line leadership, overseeing enterprise-level technology to ensure efficient and effective delivery of capabilities and services.
Key responsibilities include creating the vision, formulating the strategy, and setting the enterprise direction for common processes and architectures aligned with System IT policies, driving cross-portfolio standardization, and implementing consistent management practices. The position requires representing technology interests on relevant business committees, collaborating with other portfolio System IT executives to identify efficiencies through tool rationalization and shared services, and serving as liaison between System IT and local Reserve Bank leadership. This role presents an opportunity to shape System IT strategy while fostering cultural integration between System IT and local Reserve Bank priorities within a matrixed organization.
The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO will be responsible for broadly managing the District IT & Corporate Services IT portfolio, supporting multiple business lines across the Federal Reserve System including Human Resources, Legal, Shared Administrative Services, Finance, Procurement, Audit, Law Enforcement, and Facilities. The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO will be responsible for 1) managing the enterprise-level technology portfolio to achieve efficiency and effectiveness while aligning business line strategies with System IT Principles, enterprise architecture standards, and long-term modernization objectives; 2) developing and maintaining multi-year technology roadmaps aligned with business strategy, lifecycle management, and modernization investments; 3) implementing standardization principles to drive enterprise maturity, rationalize legacy technologies, reduce technical debt, and identify automation or consolidation opportunities; and 4) establishing and maturing governance frameworks that ensure transparency, disciplined decision-making, and value realization while managing significant IT budgets with clear focus on total cost of ownership and sustainability.
The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO will partner with business line directors and leadership across the System to ensure business strategies are delivered and enabled via effective technology delivery. The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO will work with these groups to serve as a strategic technology advisor, translating mission objectives into executable portfolio strategies, designing formal demand and intake processes that improve transparency and prioritize strategic initiatives, and fostering collaboration across diverse business lines to deliver user-friendly solutions that meet multiple needs. The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO will navigate complex governance structures including executive councils and System-level committees, leading structured assessments with business case rigor, cost-benefit evaluation, and risk analysis, while regularly reporting status and escalating issues when needed to appropriate governance bodies.
The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO will also be responsible for delivering District IT solutions, services, and capabilities to ensure local IT demand and needs continue to be met in a responsive and high-quality manner. The District IT & Corporate Services Business Line CIO will lead a team of Local IT Leaders at each Bank.
