The titles, duties, experience levels and compensation packages for these largely newly created jobs vary tremendously. Generally speaking, compensation packages are in the six figures, from 100-400K including base and bonus. In some cases, they may be at a level called Project Manager or Implementer or they could be at a VP or Director level.
Titles can sometimes bear little relation to compensation.
For example, the compensation at a VP level title might be less than at a Project or Program Manager title. Regardless of title, these positions might require a technical person to have strong business and communications skills in order to totally evangelize and change an existing corporate culture, or they might require a person to simply coordinate outside management consultants who are bringing in relevant technologies. The degree of budgetary power, corporate political power and autonomy that the CEO designates to these new IT executives is usually evidence of the degree of current commitment to or fear of the new technology or philosophy that the company is asking the new person to bring in, manage or develop. The goals and expectations of the new position must be carefully understood by candidates directly from prospective employers early on, so that they make the right career choices.
