Position Summary The Chief Community Technology Officer (Manager II) will be part of the bureau's leadership team and oversee Community Technology Programs. This is one of the three major divisions of the bureau's work, along with Climate/Sustainability and Planning. About the Community Technology Program This new division combines the programs of the former Office for Community Technology and the BPS Smart City PDX program. This includes Digital Equity, Smart City, Franchise Utility, and the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission. The Digital Equity and Smart City programs prioritize services to improve the use of data and technology to foster civic engagement, create shared prosperity, improve livability, and provide equitable access to City services. The program partners with communities to prepare for future technologies and make our city a place where data and technology are used to improve people's lives and not harm them. The work currently includes digital inclusion, privacy and data governance policy and program development, grantmaking to improve community access to technology and telecommunications, and support for community media centers. The Franchise Utility program grants access to the right-of-way by utility companies, like water, gas, electricity, and telecommunication companies, by negotiating and administering agreements. The right-of-way is one of Portland's most important assets, and it brings in $80-90 million dollars annually for the City. Staff utilize the City's authority to manage the long-term use of public rights-of-way and levy fees to ensure the city is fairly compensated for use of the right-of-way utilities. The Utility program oversees compliance by utilities to ensure companies follow the terms of the agreements. The Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission (MHCRC) implements provisions in cable services franchise agreements that provide consumer protections, community benefit resources related to digital access, video production, and community broadcasting; and it provides funding to Multnomah County and the cities within it. The Community Technology programs include several distinct but related bundles of work. Each of these functions has a lead program manager and staff. This senior management position will direct the work of this combined set of programs, supervise the program managers, and facilitate communication with the BPS Director and City leadership. This is one of three lead policy managers in the bureau, alongside the Chief Planner, and the Chief Sustainability Officer. The City of Portland is currently undergoing a reorganization driven by voter-approved changes to the City Charter. This position will have a role in recommending how Community Technology programs fit into that future organization.

Lead and support change while staying focused on priorities. Develop and maintain strategic relationships with a broad range of stakeholders, including community-based organizations. Collaborate with leadership in the Bureau of Technology Services (BTS) to coordinate external technology initiatives within internal BTS technology policy and strategic direction. Coordinate with Franchise Utility stakeholders to align community benefit programs with telecommunication and cable franchise agreements and licenses. Coordinate with city, state, regional and federal leaders to advocate and enact legal action for the rights and needs of the City regarding franchise utility, broadband deployment, digital inclusion, privacy, data governance, and responding to new technology. Serve as an active and engaged member of the BPS Executive Team responsible for the entire bureau. Under direction of the Bureau Director, work to ensure that the Bureau and its staff carry out the City and the Bureau's vision, mission, and objectives.
