Please see job opportunity below.

Amy Tennimon



Hello,

The Office of the State CIO in Oregon is seeking qualified applicants for its IT Investment Strategist / Vendor Manger position. This position has a significant vendor performance management component, and engages frequently with external stakeholders (other state agencies, units of local government) to align goals and better coordinate purchasing. In this position you have opportunities to leverage your analytical skills to determine optimal pricing methodologies, determine leverage points in negotiations, and to analyze spend data. This role is responsible for providing leadership in recommending, developing, and managing large, complex and political statewide IT Procurements - but is unique in that it is not a contracting position. This role collaborates closely with our Basecamp partners at DAS Procurement Services. The role focuses on market research and vendor management, two 'book-ends' in the Basecamp IT investment process. If you're not interested but know of others who may be, please feel free to share this announcement. If you have any questions or would like more information please don't hesitate to contact me (Daniel.McKay at oregon.gov).
