"The role was flagged up last week by the Office of Management and Budget, which highlighted a $198,200-$228,000 salary for the Washington DC-based role. The successful candidate will manage "the Federal Information Technology (IT) portfolio by establishing policies and standards for the use of IT, overseeing agency budgeting and management of IT, and assessing agency information security and cybersecurity policies and practices." The listing is blunt about other aspects of the role."
"As for promotion potential, the spec states "none." If it isn't clear enough that this is a no-nonsense role, the putative boss, US federal CIO Gregory Barbaccia, pulled no punches when he highlighted the job on LinkedIn. "If you know how to run large systems, cut through noise, and turn strategy into execution across government scale, this is that job," he declared. The former Palantir exec promised this meant "serious mission. Real authority. Zero patience for theater.""
