Thank you for your interest in St. Olaf College's Chief Information Officer (CIO).
If you would like to apply for the position, please paste this link (https://brettsearch.com/stolaf/) in your browser. Applications will only be accepted using the provided link.
St. Olaf seeks a values-forward, innovative Chief Information Officer (CIO). The next CIO of St. Olaf College will serve as a trusted advisor to the provost, president, and president’s leadership team on the role of information and library resources in institutional and academic strategy, enrollment, and student success. Overseeing a team of 55 talented staff and reporting to the provost Dr. Tarshia L. Stanley—a committed leader and partner—the CIO will manage both enterprise IT strategy and academic library leadership, supported by nine direct reports spanning the two areas. Information technology and libraries share a single charge at St. Olaf: to steward the information infrastructure on which teaching, learning and research depend.
The new leader will advance cybersecurity and data governance after evaluating institutional risks and establishing practical priorities for emergency preparedness and data protection so that St. Olaf is a leading model for secure, responsible, and resilient technology practices. The new leader should also be comfortable working in a faculty governance environment while developing information and technology strategies that advance St. Olaf’s mission to “challenge students to excel in the liberal arts, examine faith and values, and explore meaningful vocation in an inclusive, globally engaged community nourished by Lutheran tradition."
St. Olaf College is a nationally ranked private liberal arts institution located in Northfield, Minnesota, just 45 minutes from the Twin Cities. Founded in 1874, St. Olaf is a member of the Network of ELCA Colleges and Universities (NECU), the association of colleges affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Consistently named one of the top liberal arts institutions in the country, as well as one of the most beautiful college campuses, St. Olaf enrolls over 3,000 students each year, with over 95% living on campus. St. Olaf College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), one of six accrediting organizations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
This is a rare opportunity to shape how a highly selective liberal arts college integrates information resources, digital scholarship, instructional technology, and enterprise IT in service of the college’s unique academic mission.
Alongside enterprise IT, the CIO leads a seasoned and highly experienced academic library department whose collections, spaces, and instruction sit at the center of how St. Olaf students learn to find, evaluate, and use information. At St. Olaf, the libraries are woven into the academic life of the college and reflect a deeply collaborative culture in which faculty, staff, and students work closely across disciplines.
The successful candidate will bring their vision to how information technology and college libraries together support teaching, learning, research, and the operational life of the college, while managing the division’s budget, staff, and long-range planning, including the strategy set forth in Solution Seekers, St. Olaf’s 2024-2030 strategic plan.
The new CIO will also work closely with counterparts at Carleton College, St. Olaf’s neighboring liberal arts college, with whom the college shares academic resources and operational functions such as information technology services and library and collection sharing. This is a model and distinctive partnership between two highly regarded, mission-driven neighbor institutions that extends their collective reach and impact.
St. Olaf has engaged Brettschneider Executive Search to lead a national search process for this important leadership position.
The salary range is $160,000 to $180,000, and includes a comprehensive benefits package with health and dental coverage, retirement contributions, and tuition benefits.
Please submit all applications, nominations and inquiries to Brettschneider Executive Search (https://brettsearch.com/stolaf/).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Chief Medical Information Officer
Align your credentials with EB-2 requirements
CMIO roles almost universally require an MD or DO plus an advanced informatics credential. Document your board certifications, clinical leadership tenure, and EHR implementation outcomes now, before you apply, so your I-140 evidence package is ready.
Target health systems with PERM filing history
Large integrated health networks and academic medical centers file PERM applications far more frequently than community hospitals. Search the OFLC Wage Search for CMIO-adjacent titles to identify which employers have active labor certification patterns for physician-executive roles.
Use Migrate Mate to filter CMIO roles by sponsorship
Search Migrate Mate to surface CMIO and VP of Clinical Informatics listings from employers with documented green card sponsorship histories, so you're applying to organizations already set up for the PERM process.
Verify the prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
PERM requires your offered salary to meet DOL's prevailing wage for the SOC code tied to your CMIO duties. Cross-check the wage determination against BLS data for your metro area before signing, since a wage shortfall triggers a PERM denial and restarts the clock.
Clarify the employer's PERM timeline at the offer stage
Ask whether the employer will file PERM within your first year, since the EB-2 priority date clock doesn't start until I-140 approval. Hospitals that batch applications annually can add 12 to 18 months to your wait without any apparent delay in the process.
Request concurrent I-485 filing if your priority date is current
If your country's EB-2 priority date is current when USCIS approves your I-140, ask your employer's counsel to file your I-485 adjustment of status concurrently. This collapses the final green card wait into the I-140 adjudication window rather than adding it after.
Green Card Chief Medical Information Officer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a CMIO role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most CMIO positions qualify for EB-2 because they require an MD, DO, or equivalent advanced clinical degree combined with substantial informatics experience. EB-3 is available if the job description can be satisfied by a bachelor's-level professional, but that's uncommon at the C-suite level. Your employer's immigration counsel will determine the classification based on the actual minimum requirements stated in the PERM job description.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for a CMIO role?
H-1B visa sponsorship is employer-tied and temporary, expiring unless renewed or converted. Green card sponsorship through PERM and I-140 leads to permanent residency with no annual renewal. There's also no lottery at the EB-2 or EB-3 level, so approval depends on USCIS adjudication rather than chance. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone typically runs six to eighteen months before USCIS even receives the I-140 petition.
Which types of employers sponsor green cards for CMIO positions?
Academic medical centers, large integrated health systems, and hospital management companies account for most CMIO green card sponsorships. Health IT vendors and digital health companies occasionally sponsor CMIOs in product or clinical advisory roles. Use Migrate Mate to identify which employers in your target geography have active sponsorship histories for clinical informatics and physician-executive titles, narrowing your search before you apply.
What documentation strengthens a CMIO green card petition?
USCIS wants evidence that your qualifications meet or exceed the PERM-certified job requirements. For a CMIO, that means board certification records, letters documenting clinical leadership scope, EHR governance responsibilities, and any publications or speaking engagements in clinical informatics. If your MD is from a foreign institution, a NACES-accredited credential evaluation confirming U.S. equivalency is essential before PERM filing begins.
How long does EB-2 green card processing take for a CMIO?
For most countries other than India and China, the EB-2 priority date is current or nearly current, so total processing from PERM filing to green card approval typically runs two to four years. PERM labor certification takes six to eighteen months, I-140 adjudication adds another six to twelve months under standard processing, and I-485 adjustment of status runs six to twelve months after that. Indian and Chinese nationals face significantly longer waits due to per-country annual caps.
