1. SUMMARY

The NATO Chief Information Officer (CIO) function brings Information and Communications Technology (ICT) coherence across NATO Enterprise's civil and military bodies. The NATO CIO is empowered to realize the Allies' vision for the NATO Enterprise, is accountable to the Secretary General and is responsible for the development of Enterprise directives and advice on the acquisition and use of information technologies and services. The NATO CIO provides Enterprise oversight on cybersecurity issues, and, in close coordination with all relevant NATO civil and military bodies, works towards the continual improvement of the cyber hygiene and cybersecurity posture in the NATO Enterprise.

The Office of the NATO CIO (OCIO) has an integrated staff organization comprised of International Staff (IS) and International Military Staff (IMS) members.

The Enterprise Strategy Branch (EStrat) identifies, elicits and harmonizes NATO bodies' ICT needs into a coherent set of Enterprise's requirements. It supports the definition, evolution and implementation of a long-term Enterprise strategy for ICT management following NATO nation's guidance. The branch develops and maintains the implementation strategies to meet business requirements while respecting the diverse funding processes and sources supporting the NATO Enterprise. The branch prepares the CIO's engagement with senior NATO boards and committees, oversees Enterprise architectural developments, monitors ICT services provision performance and maintains oversight of large ongoing projects and programs.

The mission of
the Enterprise Portfolio Section (EPS) is to ensure oversight of major ICT programs with Enterprise scope planned, executed and finalized in NATO.

The section is responsible for the provision of expert advice to the Enterprise Strategy Branch Head on any issue of technical, financial, procurement or other nature detected and analysed in cooperation with other NATO program management authorities.

The work of the Enterprise Portfolio Section requires close coordination with key NATO processes such as NATO Defence Planning Process (NDPP), NATO Security Investment Programme (NSIP) and others as required, in order to support OCIO's strategic management function.

The incumbent will work within the Enterprise Portfolio Section and will monitor a set of C3 capabilities and ICT services, which are either in development or in service within the NATO Enterprise, regardless of their source of funding.
