The Executive Director has general oversight and executive management responsibilities for the overall business, operational and coordination aspects of OASIS. The ED works with the Board of Directors to develop and evolve the strategic mission of the organization. The ED is expected to represent OASIS in the international arena, serve as an advocate for open standards in matters of policy and adoption, and develop new opportunities to extend the breadth and depth of future OASIS work.

Responsibilities:

• Provide strategic vision to develop, update and execute the OASIS multi-year strategic and annual business plans
• Develop the organization's budget for approval by the OASIS Board, and manage the organization’s activities to that budget

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate should have 5+ years CEO/CIO/COO/VP/executive management experience. An understanding of the role of IT and the development of IT standards is desirable. While the working language for OASIS is primarily English and much of the day-to-day activity of the organization is based in the USA, knowledge of other languages and/or an understanding and/or experience of working in other countries and multinational organizations will be considered a particular advantage.

Additionally, strong communication skills, demonstrated experience in delivering keynote presentations at conferences, blogging, and the ability to serve as OASIS spokesperson for executive-level briefings with press and analysts are preferred.
