Join the Oregon Symphony Team as our Director of Information Technology!

As our Director of Information Technology, you will serve as the Oregon Symphony's senior technology leader, helping shape the systems, infrastructure, and technology strategy that power every aspect of our organization.

Here's how you'll make a difference:

• Develop and execute the Symphony's technology strategy, ensuring our systems, infrastructure, and technology investments support organizational goals and long-term success.
