Up and coming tech jobs - and how to land one!!!

Taken from:

Some highlights:
  • Director of Cloud Transformation (IT professionals to oversee the process)
  • Socialite!!! (people with strong marketing and IT skills - interesting!!)
  • Data Scientist (collect, understand, interpret and make business sense of data)
  • Augmented Reality Specialist (???) (frequently a mobile app with streets, landscapes, etc.)
  • Chief Agile Officer
  • Flexible Resource Manager
  • Health Informatics Expert
  • Machine to Machine Communications integrator
  • Outsourcing / offshoring manager
Thinking of the first title - director of Cloud Transformation - the article wrote: ""This position is like being a conductor of an orchestra. It's a series of 500 projects over seven years. You have to make sure it works and it's sequenced," he says. "No one person is an expert on all of it," which means multiple specialists are often involved -- and that, in turn, spurs some companies to seek out an overseeing director."

Moving to the cloud has some great advantages - but also some threats (like control of data and security). The Director of Cloud Transformation will have his/her hands full - but it should be an exciting ride with lots of hard work (and good financial rewards).
