Location: Oregon City, Oregon

The Position:
The Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Clackamas Community College serves as the senior technology leader for the institution, responsible for shaping the technology vision, driving strategy, and overseeing all aspects of information technology services. The CIO sets the college’s multi-year technology roadmap; develops and sponsors the ITS operating and capital budgets; authors, creates, and owns instructional technology policy; owns the college’s cybersecurity posture and risk tolerance; and represents the college at institutional, board, and external higher education technology forums. Reporting to Jeff Shaffer (Vice President of Finance & Operations/Chief Financial Officer), the CIO is a key member of the executive leadership team and plays a central role in aligning technology, data, and digital systems with institutional priorities.

The CIO ensures that technology enables and accelerates student success, instructional excellence, and operational performance. This includes leadership of enterprise applications, infrastructure, cybersecurity, user support, instructional technology, and institutional data systems. In a multi-campus environment, the CIO must deliver consistent, secure, and seamless services while remaining responsive to the distinct needs of students, faculty, and staff across locations.

This is a forward-looking leadership role at a time of growing opportunity and complexity. The CIO will help guide the college through continued modernization of its enterprise systems, including cloud adoption and potential ERP evaluation, ensuring technology investments are scalable, integrated, and aligned with long-term institutional goals.

The CIO will work closely with Jeff Shaffer, a collaborative and empowering executive leader who values strong professional expertise and provides senior leaders with the autonomy to lead within their areas of responsibility. His approach emphasizes trust, clarity of expectations, and results-oriented leadership.

Within this context, the CIO is expected to be both a strategic leader and an organizational integrator, bringing together people, processes, and technology to advance institutional priorities. The role requires a leader who can balance long-term vision with operational execution, build strong partnerships across the college, and ensure that technology functions as a core enabler of student success and institutional effectiveness.
