  • Information Technology Director the City of Appleton, Wisconsin
    The City of Appleton, Wisconsin welcomes your interest in the position of Information Technology Director Our Community The City of Appleton is an inviting community nestled in northeastern Wisconsin near the largest lake in the state, Lake Winnebago. Home to more than 74,000 residents, Appleton is known for its vibrant and growing downtown, including a $45 million performing arts center. The city is also known for its numerous parks, high-quality education and friendly, safe environment. We’re proud of the fact that in 2020 Appleton was ranked #1 for the Best Place to Raise Kids by SmartAsset. In 2020, Appleton was also ranked #13 on SmartAsset’s list of Most Livable Small Cities in the U.S. The City of Appleton is considered a leader in the New North, a regional initiative to promote economic growth in northeastern Wisconsin. The city is located in the heart of the Fox Cities, a grouping of 15 cities, villages and towns linked by the Fox River. We are one of the fastest-growing areas in the state, and nearly a quarter-million people call this home. We enjoy a variety of activities from jazz concerts on the nationally recognized campus of Lawrence University and Broadway performances at the world-class Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, to quiet evenings spent walking along trails near the river or having dinner at one of the fabulous restaurants that border the historical waterway. Yet even with its big-city appeal, Appleton offers a small- town feel for its residents and visitors. We consider “Appleton” to be synonymous with “Americana.” Every August downtown Appleton hosts Mile of Music, a cover- free festival highlighting handcrafted artistry.
