Tech jobs: CIOs look safe, IT managers face chop, chief digital officer is the next big thing

Firms are planning to crank up the hiring of chief digital officers and chief data officers, but it won’t necessarily be at the expense of CIOs. In fact, it is IT middle management who look more likely to lose out.

Some 19 percent of business leaders expect to recruit a chief digital officer by 2014, while 17 percent foresee a chief data officer appointment, according to a study by Gartner.

When CEOs and business leaders of large organisations worldwide were quizzed about the roles they expect to have in two years, the CIO position emerges as static. But there is significant growth in innovator and digital leader posts and a decline in the IT management tier.

"Overall, it’s a progressive move towards more technology-driven leadership in total," said Mark Raskino, vice president and Gartner fellow.
