Explanation:
Superintendência is an office, not a person. It cannot be translated as director.
The most common translation is superintendency. However, given the job description of the director, I would use Office of Information Technology, Office of Information Technology Administration, Office of Information Technology Oversight, or Office of Information Technology Strategy.
