The CTO sets enterprise technical strategy and standards for all of HIT, owns the organization’s technology roadmap and security posture, and ensures that the platforms and architecture underpinning clinical and business services are reliable, secure, and built to scale.

As a key contributor to enterprise strategic planning and a member of the HIT senior leadership team, the CTO advises executive leadership on emerging technology and risk, and serves as a potential successor to the CIO.Responsibilities Set and own the enterprise technology strategy and roadmap for HIT, ensuring that current and planned architecture, investments, and solutions align with organizational objectives.

Direct enterprise infrastructure operations, including network, telecommunications, servers, data center, and hybrid cloud environments, balancing cost, performance, and compliance, and establishing and tracking availability and performance Service Level Goals (SLGs) for systems supporting 24/7 clinical operations. Drive standardization and integration of infrastructure across ANTHC facilities, statewide field sites, and Tribal health partner environments, reducing variation, risk, and support cost. Own the enterprise information security program, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ANTHC systems and data, including cyber security program management and compliance, incident response, and identity and access management.
Establish and maintain network and security standards for connected biomedical and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, in partnership with the clinical and biomedical teams accountable for the devices themselves. Maintain and enforce an out-of-band escalation path so that confirmed critical security and operational events route directly to the CIO and Chief Operating Officer (COO) without delay, bypassing normal routing.

Ensure that technical architecture, data storage, and access controls reflect ANTHC’s data stewardship and data sovereignty obligations, which extend beyond standard regulatory compliance. Govern product development as a last-resort capability, ensuring that commercial buy-and-configure solutions are the default and that custom development is undertaken only when other options are exhausted, is justified, and is held to defined lifecycle and support standards.
