Description

The Delaware Department of Finance (DOF) is seeking a IT leader with deep

technical expertise and executive judgment to lead the Department’s enterprise

technology environment. This is not a project management role. We are looking for a

technically grounded IT executive who understands how systems are built, secured,

operated, and sustained—and who can effectively lead highly skilled technical teams by

knowing the work they do.

The Director serves as the technology leader for the Department of Finance,

supporting a large, complex, revenue-generating enterprise with significant operational,

regulatory, and cybersecurity risk. Success in this role requires more than coordination

and oversight; it requires hands-on technical credibility, sound architectural judgment,

and the ability to translate business and financial requirements into resilient, secure,

and scalable technology solutions.

-This position reports administratively to the DTI Chief of Partner Services and takes

day-to-day direction from the Deputy Secretary of Finance.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Key Responsibilities

• Provide executive and technical leadership for enterprise IT services, including

applications, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data platforms, and end-user

technologies.

• Lead and mentor technical managers and staff with credibility grounded in first-

hand technical knowledge, not solely governance or reporting.

• Serve as the escalation point for the Department of Finance and DTI’s

Office of Partner Services, ensuring business alignment, regulatory compliance,

and rapid issue resolution.

• Oversee the full lifecycle of agency-wide hardware and software solutions, from

architecture and design through implementation, operations, and modernization.

• Ensure strong operational discipline across:

o Application support and development

o Infrastructure and cloud services

o Cybersecurity and risk management

o Change, release, and incident management

o Vendor and managed service oversight

• Develop and execute multi-year roadmaps for people, process, and technology

across DOF divisions.

• Establish governance models, service frameworks, and performance metrics that

drive accountability, resilience, and continuous improvement.

• Build a customer-focused IT organization that delivers reliable services while

proactively modernizing legacy environments.

• Communicate clearly and confidently with finance leadership, auditors,

regulators, and external partners, providing meaningful metrics and insight—not

just status reporting.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting finance, taxation, revenue, or regulatory systems.

• in public sector, highly regulated environments, or large financial

organizations.

• Demonstrated success modernizing legacy systems while maintaining

operational stability.
