Thanks
Btw, I saw Ron last night at the PMI meeting and he mentioned that you landed a gig with Pfizer? Was this the opportunity I had forwarded over to you? Also, are you working out of Morristown location (tabor road). If so, not sure if you recall that I worked at Pfizer last month for 3 days.
Let's catch up real soon.

these are 2 newly created roles. the company has gone through growth over the last 5 years and the SVP has determined they need these 2 key hires.
They can be based in either DesMoines, Iowa or
Wilmington, DE
the Delaware location is commutable from several different areas including PA, southern NJ, and Maryland. Cost of living difference between NY are and DE is approx 41%. In addition there is no state tax if you live in DE. They are open to relocating the right person to either location.
This is a shared services division. They have 42 subsidiaries and most have some of their own IT including desktop services. They serve as the internal consulting arm to handle all claims, billing, underwriting, centralized services, etc.....systems that support analyzing data. There is 330 employees in this division and 5 to 6000 overall in the 42 companies. The divisions are small to mid size organizations and based primarily in the US and a few globally including Canada and London. They also have approx 75 to 90 consultants spread at different locations.
Des Moines has approx 180 to 200 folks and approx 60 in Delaware.
Their model is not to take the place of all IT functions. This division has 2 locations including Iowa and Delaware. Most in Des Moines are Applications side folks- development, PM, QA, Testing, Release Management. Very little Infrastructure in Des Moines.
The DataCenter is in Wilmington, DE.- majority of servers housed there. Some DB folks in each location as well as a smaller 3rd location in Minnesota.
This is a cost center division and the IT budget last year was 65 million.
Both VPs should have strategic background, budgetary responsibility, and some structure. The culture is very project oriented. Subsidiaries receive allocation based upon cost which is shared amongst the 42 companies.
The VP IT Infrastructure has 2 direct reports who are also VPs - one is over DC/Operations/
Below them are Team leaders- it is a pretty flat organization.
For the VP Support Services- has a Director report to that is responsible for Infrastructure Security, Disaster Recovery, Enterprise Monitoring Systems. The other area is QA, Testing, Change Release Management, Compliance, Reporting.
The more important skill for this role is the QA side and Release Management since one of the Directors is strong in the Security side. The person who leads that is in DE.
Both positions can be located in either location.
The culture is very entrepenurial in nature-alot of personal accountability. Subsidiaries are primarily small to mid size company feel.
Strategic in thinking- not hands on digging into technology today, but has come from that background.
They are a business casual environment, but Iowa is a bit more business and DE is more casual and informal.
Some of their other locations include Arizona, Florida, Dallas, and Minneapolis. the Minnesota office is where the VP is over Networks, Database, and Telco which will report to the VP Infrastructure.
Industry experience is not key for these roles. They are more interested in folks who have worked in shared service environments or managed multiple locations.
From an IT perspective- most of the products they use are buy and customize- alot of their solutions are partnering with the business to customize. Commonality and scalability- economies of scale is key......where do commonalities make sense? They use base code tools that can be configured in multiple ways.
The culture is very much innovative and creative. It is a very flat organization with substantial growth over the past 5 years. traditionally they dont have people managing people.
The culture is NOT process for process sake so someone who has worked in highly process oriented cultures may not fair well. These roles will need to look at where do controals and processes need to be put in place and than partner with the other key peer roles and some remote business users to put in process and controls. Right now they are somewhat unstructured and not highly process driven.
