Chief Information Officer (CIO)

The Role

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) provides the strategic vision and executive leadership for Plexus' global technology organization, ensuring technology serves as a competitive advantage that accelerates business growth. This role is responsible for the end-to-end strategy, architecture, execution, and optimization of enterprise technology, business systems, infrastructure, cybersecurity, software engineering, and digital innovation across the organization.

As a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, the CIO partners across every business function to align technology investments with corporate strategy, enabling Plexus' Vision 30 growth objectives and global expansion. This leader will modernize the organization's technology ecosystem, leverage emerging technologies-including artificial intelligence and automation-and deliver world-class digital experiences for Brand Ambassadors and Customers.

Equally important, the CIO builds and leads a high-performing global technology organization by attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional talent. This leader fosters a culture of accountability, innovation, continuous learning, and collaboration, empowering teams to embrace emerging technologies while delivering measurable business outcomes.

This is not a maintenance-focused technology role; it is a transformational leadership opportunity to shape the future of technology for a rapidly growing global organization.

You'll lead enterprise-wide digital transformation, evaluate and implement emerging technologies to create lasting competitive advantage, and build scalable platforms that power exceptional experiences for millions of Brand Ambassadors and Customers worldwide.

Partnering closely with an exceptional Executive Leadership Team, you'll influence enterprise strategy, support expansion across APAC, LATAM, and Europe, and champion innovation through artificial intelligence, automation, and modern technology. Just as importantly, you'll build and inspire a world-class technology organization by developing exceptional leaders, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous learning, and empowering your team to deliver measurable business outcomes.
