Choose the right perspective

Pick by function first: a chief information officer for technology, cybersecurity and digital services, a chief financial officer for budgets and public finance, and a chief operating officer for work that crosses departments. Then match the level of government, since city, county and state organizations work under different rules and at different scales.
