SUMMARY

Trinity School, located on the Upper West Side of New York City, is a premier, nationally ranked institution with over 300 years of history dedicated to excellence in education and service to its community. Serving just over 1,000 students, Trinity is a school where teacher-student engagement, interpersonal relationships, and palpable joy are not only easily observed but also unapologetically paramount.

To address the growing significance and complexity of the school’s technology program over the past several years, Trinity has created a new executive role, a chief information officer (CIO), to begin in the spring or summer of 2025. The CIO will oversee a new division and lead the integration of three currently separate technology units at Trinity: information technology, data / systems, and educational technology. The IT unit is led by a director who in turn manages a team of six; the other two units are smaller but play an important role in day-to-day school operations. The unification of these units will be essential to help academic and non-academic departments leverage technology more efficiently, effectively, and seamlessly. As such, the CIO will be empowered to improve workflows, examine policies, adjust operations, and reimagine roles and departmental structures. In addition, the CIO will have an opportunity to be a part of an early hire in the data / systems unit later this spring.

The ideal candidate will be forward-looking and innovative, with an ability to lead at an enterprise level. At the same time, the next CIO must be ready to address immediate areas of opportunity with a hands-on, can-do, human-centered mindset. The CIO should also be mission-aligned and eager to serve Trinity’s relational community of learners and educators. Trinity is flexible on the start date for this on-site position, which could begin as early as the spring, or as late as summer 2025 if the right candidate needs more time to transition. The CIO will report directly to the head of school and serve as a member of the executive management team.
