About The California Office of Digital Innovation (ODI)

The California Office of Digital Innovation helps deliver better services to the people of California through technology and design. In close partnership with our colleagues in other state departments, we reimagine and deliver more equitable and effective programs and products. We listen to Californians who use a program now or may do so tomorrow and hear about what they need. We build tools and products, create and enhance digital services, conduct research, identify data solutions and offer training. We are a cross-discipline staff with blended backgrounds in design, engineering, product, operations, data, research, policy and strategy.

Role Summary

As the Assistant Chief Data Officer, you will be responsible for helping to steer and deliver the statewide data strategy. You will shepherd statewide efforts to accelerate and streamline data access, modernize data management and services, and accelerate excellent use of data in decision-making. You will work cross-functionally to support the development of data standards and policy, focused on harmonizing and modernizing data and analytics approaches across the state.
You will act as an advisor to the Chief Data Officer (CDO), providing input and expertise on the long-term data governance roadmap in terms of program and policy needs.
