About The American International University

American International University (AIU) is a private institution in Kuwait, founded in 2019, offering undergraduate programs based on the American model of higher education. AIU provides degrees in Engineering, Architecture and Design, Business Administration, Arts and Sciences, and Education, with English as the language of instruction. The University is committed to fostering intellectual, cultural, and personal growth, preparing graduates for leadership roles in a global society.

AIU is in active execution of its RISE Strategy 2026&ndash;2030, a five-year institutional transformation anchored in research development, WSCUC international accreditation, student success, and community engagement. Technology is not peripheral to this strategy; it is foundational to it. The CIO is a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, responsible for ensuring that AIU's digital infrastructure, enterprise platforms, and data ecosystem are built for the institutional ambitions of 2030, not the operational needs of 2019.

Department Profile

The CIO oversees two integrated functions that together constitute AIU's technology enterprise: the established Information Technology division, led by the Executive Director of IT, and the newly created Digital Transformation Office, which sits directly under the CIO's strategic leadership. Together, these functions manage all enterprise platforms, cybersecurity and data governance, academic technology, digital student services, and the AI-enabled tools that support administrative decision-making. 
Scope of Work

The Chief Information Officer serves as AIU's most senior technology executive and a strategic thought partner to the President. The role bridges two realities: managing a live and growing enterprise technology environment reliably and efficiently today, while building the digital infrastructure that will sustain a WASC-accredited, research-active, rankings-visible university by 2030. The CIO is accountable for both.
