Chief Information Officer (Vice President, Technology) - Nexus

Aramark • Philadelphia, PA

9d

About The Position

Nexus is seeking a transformative technology leader to serve as Chief Information Officer / VP of Technology as we establish and grow our Workforce Communities line of business. This is a foundational role — one that carries both the responsibility and the opportunity to define how technology shapes the way people work, connect, and thrive within the communities we serve. Reporting directly to the Line of Business President and CEO, this executive will partner with senior leadership to set go-to-market strategy, build the technology infrastructure of a new business, and ensure that every technology decision is made with people at the center. This is not a role focused on maintaining systems — it is a mandate to lead with vision, move with purpose, and position Nexus as a forward-thinking technology organization in a growing market. The ideal candidate brings executive presence and strategic depth alongside a genuine commitment to people enablement — someone who understands that the most impactful technology solutions are the ones that make work more intuitive, more connected, and more meaningful for the people using them. This leader will manage IT personnel, budgets, and projects within the Line of Business, operating within the broader Aramark IT infrastructure.
