Why should you keep reading and consider working here?
We know you have other work options, but we ask you to consider working with us at the State of Montana Department of Administration in the State Information Technology Services Division (SITSD). Our mission is to provide shared IT services to support the needs of the state and citizens of Montana. We offer an innovative and collaborative work environment where employees are valued and supported. In addition, our employees have the opportunity to be involved in some of the most exciting and innovative IT projects and initiatives in development within Montana state government. (You can learn more about SITSD here.)
What is this career opportunity?
The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) provides enterprise-wide technology leadership for the State of Montana, setting strategic direction for enterprise architecture and application development in alignment with statewide IT transformation goals.
The CTO owns the "how" of technology delivery for the enterprise, including the architectural patterns, technical standards, development methodologies, platform selections, integration models, and quality and security requirements that govern how solutions are designed and built across state government. This role leads and develops the leaders of each functional team, holds them accountable for outcomes, and removes barriers to execution rather than directing day-to-day technical work.
Embracing artificial intelligence is a core expectation of this position. The CTO is expected to lead an AI-forward technology organization, personally using AI to accelerate architectural analysis, technology evaluation, code and design review, and managerial decision making. The CTO drives the adoption of AI-enabled architecture, development, and testing tooling across the Office of Technology Development, sets the expectation that engineering and architecture teams integrate AI into daily practice, and ensures all adoption aligns with statewide AI governance, security, and policy standards. The CTO also partners with the Office of AI to ensure enterprise architecture and engineering practices are positioned to deliver AI-enabled solutions at scale.
As the primary technology leader for SITSD, the CTO partners with the Deputy CIO, State CIO, fellow Chief Officers, agency CIOs, and the Integration Transition Team to ensure Montana's technology investments are sound, sustainable, and mission aligned. Working closely with the Chief Product Officer, who owns the "what" and "why," the CTO ensures the "how" is technically executable and architecturally coherent. Working closely with the Chief Enterprise Service Delivery Officer, the CTO ensures those decisions are operationally supportable.
This position reports to the Deputy CIO for Core IT Services.
What are we looking for?
Education and Experience:
A Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
Seven years of progressively responsible experience in enterprise technology leadership, including at least three years in an executive or senior leadership role overseeing technology teams and functions.
Preferred:
o Master's degree in Information Technology, Business Administration, Public Administration, or a related field.
o Experience in state or local government IT or product leadership.
o Experience leading product or technology organizations through large-scale transformation in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment.
Competencies:
Required knowledge, skills, and abilities:
Ability to lead large-scale organizational change efforts with measurable outcomes.
Ability to translate strategy into practical implementation.
Proven ability to lead leaders; setting direction, delegating effectively, and holding team managers accountable for outcomes.
Experience building and sustaining high-performing teams through clear expectations, coaching, and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
Ability to translate enterprise strategy into clear direction and measurable outcomes across multiple functional teams.
Experience aligning diverse stakeholders; across agencies, executive leadership, and technical teams; around shared technology goals.
Ability to engage, challenge, and advise senior leaders on complex technology decisions with significant organizational impact.
