DC HSEMA is hiring an IT Bureau Chief!

The IT Bureau Chief owns strategic direction, governance, and operational delivery of the agency’s technology portfolio – systems architecture, infrastructure, information security, and customer support – with one overarching goal: leading the technology team and investments to directly advance the mission to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from emergencies.

That means defining the agency’s long-term technology roadmap, directing major system implementations and platform migrations, and keeping the 24/7 fusion center environment running. It also means partnering across DC government, including the Office of the Chief Technology Officer, and with regional and federal partners to resolve complex system issues and ensure continuity of critical business functions.
