Position Description
The Center for Policing Equity (CPE) is looking for a skilled and experienced Vice President of Technology with a passion for social justice and racial equity.
The successful candidate in this role must be a builder -- of architecture, products, and systems, but also of cross-functional community, engineering culture, and technological fluency for an organization that is not a SaaS product enterprise, but is increasingly relying on technology-and its own custom software products-to deliver and scale its critical, mission-driven work.
The Vice President will be expected to attain a deep understanding of how CPE's work aims to make public safety more equitable and community-centered -- and provide strategic recommendations on how technology can help us do it even better.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and refine processes and policies to establish cross-org data infrastructure and produce high-quality software across the organization; promote cross-functional collaboration, innovation, and a culture of quality and measurement in the delivery on our mission
- Determine how technology staff should be organized at CPE (including data operations, software engineering, product management, and IT)
- Collaborate with leaders across the organization to understand how critical data operations are currently managed (via people, processes, and software) and to uncover opportunities to build a new, more cohesive and sustainable way of achieving our data ops and product goals
- Collaborate with the Senior Leadership team on organizational strategy, change management, objectives, and risks from a technology and data operations perspective and with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Implement strategies to recruit, retain, and grow a diverse, inclusive technology team and culture, with paths for professional development and advancement within CPE; provide excellent management to direct reports
Qualifications
- 8+ years of professional data operations, data engineering, and/or software development experience, at least 3 years in a management capacity
- Interest in the challenge and responsibility of joining a high-performing, high-growth environment in a senior role during a volatile time for our issue areas (i.e., public safety and racial justice)
- Ability to think strategically, execute tactically, and navigate ambiguity
- Strong communication skills (both written and verbal), with a passion for distilling complex ideas into language that is easy to understand
- Exceptional people management skills, with the ability to influence and engage direct and indirect reports as well as peers
- Demonstrated personnel management experience
- Proficient in performance management
- Provide regular, constructive, actionable feedback to junior team members
- Monitor and track employee performance via weekly check-ins, quarterly check-ins, and biannual reviews
- Proficient in mindful delegation and capacity to assign work while clearly articulating deliverable expectations
- Provide professional development guidance and mentorship to unlock the talents and potential of direct reports
- Demonstrate an appreciation for the management function and participate in management development in an ongoing way
- Proficient in performance management
- Passionate about social justice issues
