Minimum Qualifications Transforming the Citizen experience:
The NYS Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) was established by the Administration in 2012 to transform the IT services provided to State Agencies and citizens by consolidating IT service delivery across all New York State Agencies. The creation of a consolidated ITS provides New York State with the ability to optimize IT investments across all of state government, and to advance industry best practices while sustaining service delivery to partner agencies and enhancing service to citizens.

We are now three years into an ambitious multi-year transformation of NYS technology function. The Administration has given ITS a mandate to both transform itself and to be a major enabler in transforming the way we serve citizens. We believe our employees are our most important asset in achieving this and seek creative, motivated individuals to contribute to this effort. We work as one connected community of technology professionals with opportunities for our employees to build new skills, achieve a higher degree of mastery, and take on bigger challenges. We look for innovative solutions that anticipate our partners’ needs, extending into the “foreseeable future”. We maintain a working environment that empowers our employees to think and act creatively in the best interest of our organization, agencies and citizens.

The Public Safety Cluster provides IT services to the following agencies: the Division of Criminal Justice Services, the Division of State Police, the Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, the Office of Victim Services, the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and the State Commission on Correction. The ITS Public Safety Cluster (PSC) has a significant number of mission critical applications that are utilized by various criminal justice personnel and the general public in the ongoing support of law enforcement and offender management activities. Many of these applications require full time (24/7) functionality and even a short unplanned outage can jeopardize public and officer safety. Due to the nature of Public Safety, there is significant sharing of data and systems between agencies, increasing the potential for wider application of standardized solutions.

The Public Safety CIO would be responsible for leading more than 350 staff and consultants in supporting hundreds of mission critical applications that are depended upon across the state as well as managing a project portfolio which averages 60 active projects at any given time. We are seeking an innovative, high impact technology professional with a ‘can do’ attitude and a desire to have a tangible impact on the safety and wellbeing of members of the law enforcement community, probation and corrections’ communities, courts, victims of crime, and citizens as well as supporting the IT needs related to response to man-made and natural disasters. There is huge potential for this candidate to contribute to a step change not just in the cost of providing services but also to significantly improve the experience citizens have with state government.

Minimum Qualifications:
Candidate must have 15 years of experience in the field of Information Technology, 5 of which must have been in a management capacity. General experience must include: systems development and implementation, business process reengineering, application development and data management, and planning and directing major technology projects.

A Master’s degree may be substituted for up to five years of experience.

Experience in or knowledge of Public Safety or Law Enforcement is desirable. Familiarity with FBI Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS) security requirements is also desirable.
