Opportunities
The Director of Information Technology is a full-time, in-person position based in Richmond, Virginia, providing strategic leadership and operational oversight for the Seminary's technology infrastructure, vendor relationships, and IT budget across both campuses. The Director sets direction for the IT department's roadmap, manages key vendor and contractor relationships, develops and oversees department policy, and supervises IT staff. While day-to-day end-user support is primarily handled by the Technology Support Specialist and Systems Administrator, the Director is expected to serve as a working technical resource and resolve issues directly as a regular part of the role. At a small institution, the Director must be comfortable moving between strategic leadership and hands-on technical support as the situation demands. The Director reports to the Vice President for Strategy and Institutional Effectiveness.
