Chief Digital Officer Recruitment Agency

Recruitment of a Chief Digital Officer (CDO)

If you are wondering when your company should consider hiring a chief digital officer, the time is now. These days, almost all midsize to large companies need a CDO. Technology is not static and is changing and evolving every day, so there is all the more need for a chief digital officer to work with the rest of the C-suite executives to harness technology to ensure your company’s message is delivered on time, to the right audience, and in the right way – now and moving forward.

Your marketing team’s expertise and focus are on things such as brand creation and awareness, gathering and analyzing target demographic data, and using that information to create a marketing plan that communicates brand values and drives revenue.

But today’s average consumer is tech-savvy, busy, and often uses their smartphone, computer, or tablet to complete transactions, and if you are not set up to capture this audience, you will be left behind.

You need a leader who can work synergistically with the marketing team, information technology personnel, C-suite executives, and other company assets to devise and implement cutting-edge digital solutions for today’s challenges and those anticipated in the future.

What Key Qualities Should Your CDO Possess?

• A qualified CDO will know how to leverage digital information and cutting-edge technologies to remodel conventional business models and practices;
• They must be adept at identifying and integrating new technology that would enhance or replace current solutions or processes;
• They must be leaders with strong interpersonal skills to positively motivate others within the organization to successfully and diplomatically bring about culture change.
  The company as a whole must understand and align themselves with the united objective of keeping up with digital technology. It often takes an organizational-wide shift in attitude, practices, and possibly structure to create a corporate culture that is adaptable and embraces technology and the digital tools that are necessary to remain competitive and up-to-date in the marketplace, so having the right CDO in place will be key.
• The CDO must have analytical and organizational skills to oversee, monitor, and analyze the progress after a digital implementation to make sure it is producing the desired results. They must also have good presentation skills so they can clearly and concisely report these results to key stakeholders.

Your organization does not just need to fill a chief digital officer position, you need a C-Suite executive with a highly specialized but diverse skill set. The CDO that can lead your organization to the next level and get ahead of the competition must possess exceptional expertise in business. Additionally, their skill set has to include perseverance, effective communication, strategic thinking, and inspirational vision. They must also be willing to challenge the status quo and actively look for opportunities to incorporate innovative solutions. This is a tall order. It is time to contact MarketPro!
