Vice President, Digital Strategy & Collaboration

Job Overview

The Vice President, Digital Strategy & Collaboration will serve as a senior leader responsible for convening stakeholders across the Farm Credit System to advance shared understanding, foster collaboration, and accelerate progress on digital priorities.

The ideal candidate is a connector and convener who brings curiosity, humility, and influence to the role. They thrive on enabling others, asking the right questions, and ensuring that the collective wisdom of the Farm Credit System is surfaced and applied. Success in this role will be defined not by individual ownership of digital strategy, but by the leader’s ability to create the conditions for collaboration, foster meaningful insight exchange, and enable shared progress across the Farm Credit System.

In addition to competitive pay and benefits, our Denver-based employees operate on a hybrid schedule, currently working remotely 3 days/week.
