KIC delivers healthcare, governmental, and community services in an environment where dependable systems, responsible access to information, cybersecurity, privacy, and business continuity are essential. The IT Director sets the organization’s technology direction and is accountable for secure and reliable IT services, cybersecurity and technology risk, enterprise infrastructure and applications, disaster recovery, vendor and contract management, departmental budgeting, and the performance and development of the IT team and assigned staff. The Director partners with executive and program leadership to understand operational needs, establish priorities, and guide technology investments that are practical, sustainable, and effectively serve the needs of the Tribe.

Knowledge of Tribal government, Tribal governance, or service delivery within an American Indian or Alaska Native organization is highly valuable. The ideal candidate is an effective organizational leader who can develop a capable IT team, strengthen KIC’s technology governance, and build an environment that supports both current operations and continued organizational growth.
