Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania – a flourishing, diverse educational community dedicated to the highest academic standards – seeks a dynamic, collaborative, and bold leader to be its next Chief Information Officer and Constance A. Jones Director of Libraries (CIO & Director). Reporting directly to Bryn Mawr’s president, the CIO & Director of Libraries will ensure that the College’s integrated IT/library organization continues to advance a culture of innovation, inclusiveness, and excellence and that it is positioned and resourced to play a central role in the success of Bryn Mawr faculty, students, and staff, and indeed of the College itself.
The CIO & Director oversees the merged Library & Information Technology Services (LITS) organization, including 8 direct reports and 75 total professional staff, and an overall budget of more than $17M. Bryn Mawr also benefits from long-standing library and IT “Tri-College” partnerships with Haverford College and Swarthmore College, collaborations the CIO & Director will be responsible for shepherding. This new leader will provide cohesive leadership across both the library and IT functions at Bryn Mawr, supporting their ongoing collaboration and ensuring their unique needs are addressed within a strategic vision of the College’s information and technology resource.
Strategic priorities for this role include managing change as Bryn Mawr reexamines what “library” means in the 21st century, in terms of technology as well as physical spaces and collections; shepherding LITS’ existing collaborative culture while working with all campus constituencies to ensure IT needs are being met; co-sponsoring the upcoming Workday implementation, ensuring the ERP is designed, resourced, and executed to yield measurable gains in efficiency and comprehensive resource planning; and collaborating with the new Director of Information Security to advance IT and data security practices across campus.
