Job description

The City of Culver City is seeking a strategic, collaborative, and forward-thinking technology leader to serve as its next Chief Information Officer (CIO). This is an exceptional opportunity to join a high-performing organization where technology is viewed not simply as a support function, but as a strategic partner that improves service delivery, strengthens organizational resilience, and advances the City's priorities.

The Chief Information Officer is an executive-level position that serves as a member of the City Manager’s executive management team and provides highly responsible professional, technical, and organizational leadership related to the City’s information systems, technology infrastructure, digital services, and data needs.

The CIO is both a strategic leader and a working department director. The successful candidate will be comfortable moving between long-range planning, executive advising, project oversight, staff leadership, budget administration, vendor and contract management, and the day-to-day realities of delivering innovative and reliable technology services.

The position directs technical and nontechnical staff, oversees consultants and contractors, and provides leadership for the department’s infrastructure, applications, public safety technology, cybersecurity, data, end-user support, graphic services functions and directs the city’s municipal fiber network.

Minimum qualifications include a Bachelor\'s Degree from an accredited college or university preferably in information systems, computer science, business administration or a related field, and six to ten years of progressively responsible experience in managing a complex multi-user information technology system. Experience with Lean, Lean Six Sigma, Agile, Scrum, or similar process and project management methodologies is highly valued. Professional credentials such as PMP, CGCIO, CISM, CISSP, CISA, Certified ScrumMaster, or other related technology, project management, or cybersecurity certifications are also desirable. Experience in local government, telecommunications and/or municipal fiber is also desirable.

Substitution of Experience for Education: Additional qualifying experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to perform the duties of the position may be substituted for the required education. The equivalency of experience to education will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on the nature, scope, level and relevance of the applicant’s experience.
