The Intelligence Community (IC) Chief Information Office (CIO) is responsible for advancing the Intelligence Community's mission by driving secure collaboration, integration, and information sharing; identifying and addressing information enterprise risks; and providing strategic leadership and oversight of the IC's enterprise architecture and enterprise information technology.

Duties

The Chief, Architecture Development Division (ADD) proactively and holistically leads development of the Intelligence Community's (IC) information technology (IT) architecture and management of its technical and infrastructure solutions in support of the IC's information environment (IE). These solutions will enable the IC's future-state mission capabilities, and drive integrated, secure, resilient, and reliable IT across the IC's IE. Areas of focus will include IT architecture to enable an integrated multiple cloud environment, mutually supportive cybersecurity solutions, including the adoption of zero trust principles, and cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence. The Chief, ADD will provide the leadership, facilitation, analysis, and design tasks required for evolving and maintaining the IC's IT architecture. The Chief, ADD will lead the development of guidance for the IC, such as standards, guidelines, and configurations to evolve the IC's technical infrastructure and enable mission success. The Architecture and Integration Group (AIG) plans, organizes, coordinates, directs, and implements EA, systems engineering, and compliance and integration practices to foster a secure, interoperable, accessible, and effective IC IE. Through understanding and interpretation of complex IT investments, AIG helps stakeholders identify current and future enterprise IT needs, detect critical gaps to inform future planning, and ensure IC IT architecture compliance. In addition, AIG helps drive information sharing with international partners. Major Duties and Responsibilities: Lead IC analysis of mission needs to derive the future-state IT architecture. This includes defining the requirements, principles and models that guide technology decisions for the IC. Lead the analysis of the IC's current technology environment to detect critical deficiencies, legacy and technical debt, and recommend solutions for improvement. In addition, lead the analysis of technology industry and market trends to determine their potential impact on the IC's IT architecture. Collaborate with technical subject matter experts and IC peers to evolve the IT architecture to enable and drive new mission capabilities and operating models. Drive digital innovation by leveraging innovative technologies and approaches to renovate, extend and transform the existing core technology base and IT estate. Define high-level migration plans to address the gaps between the future and current state of the IT architecture as part of the IC's budget planning and execution processes. Lead technology change to deliver mission outcomes, leveraging subject matter experts from across the IC. Oversee and consult on technology implementation and modification activities (e.g., projects and products), particularly for new or shared infrastructure solutions. Consult on infrastructure development projects to harmonize systems or infrastructure with the IC's IT architecture and identify when it is necessary to modify the architecture to accommodate immediate or future mission needs. Lead the development of IC IT architecture design and analysis documents. Lead a team of professional staff and assess performance, collaborate and oversee goal setting, and provide feedback on personal development.
