Future Management III: Information Technology

Job duties: Information systems managers do a lot more than just troubleshoot technical problems. As an information systems manager, you would oversee large scale IT initiatives and ensure systems are operating as planned. The exact duties of these roles will vary based on the size and structure of the company, but these professionals are often tasked with the creation and vetting of plans for changes in IT infrastructure and may manage the IT team responsible for the deployment and upkeep of that infrastructure.
Work environment: Like most of these positions, you can find information systems manager positions at virtually any large company. Given how critically important information technology infrastructure is for many organizations, this role may be subject to long hours during periods where complications arise.
