[Hiring] Senior Director, Technology & Systems @Point Foundation

Role Description

Point Foundation seeks a visionary, innovative, and experienced Sr. Director, Technology & Systems to build the technology foundation that will carry Point into its next chapter of growth. This is a rare opportunity to own technology end-to-end at a prominent national organization. The Sr. Director will set the multi-year roadmap, serve as Point's internal authority on technology investment, and act as a trusted advisor and technical coach to leaders across Point’s Program and Development departments as they seek out the right technology to accelerate and streamline their work. This is also a chance to lead on AI: deciding where it genuinely creates capacity for a nimble team and bringing staff along, so new tools are actually adopted. For a leader who wants scope, real influence with the executive team, and a mission worth building for, this role offers all three.

• Hands-on experience evaluating and deploying AI tools in an organizational setting, including adoption, training, and risk.
• Proven ability to lead technology strategy cross-functionally, translating technical decisions into terms non-technical department leaders can act on and rally around.
• Working knowledge of data governance and cybersecurity policy, standards, and practice.
