An MIS Executive – or Management Information System Executive – is responsible for planning, coordinating and directing all computer-related activities within an organization. They help determine the company’s information technology goals, and are responsible for implementing computer systems to meet those goals. MIS Executives typically work in an office setting and spend much of their time working on at a computer station. MIS Executives typically work a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Their specific job duties and responsibilities are directly related to the size and goals of their employer.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for MIS Executives, who are categorized as Computer and Information Systems Managers, is expected to grow 15 percent through 2024, amounting to more than 5,370 annual openings from the creation of new positions and existing positions becoming available as workers retire. Candidates who have extensive experience and solid knowledge of the most current technology, along with the processes to implement it, will be favored for openings.
