- Lead the technical onboarding of new high-value clients, setting the strategic foundation from day one.
*Vendor & Project Oversight
- Assist clients in evaluating and managing third-party technology vendors (ISPs, Line-of-Business software, etc.).
- Provide high-level oversight for major infrastructure projects to ensure they stay aligned with the strategic vision.

Required
- Experience: 7–10+ years of experience in IT leadership, senior systems engineering, or IT consulting (MSP experience is highly preferred).

- Consultative Approach: Strong ability to influence stakeholders and lead through consensus and expertise.

Preferred (Nice to Have)
- Experience with ITIL frameworks or MSP-specific vCIO tools.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, PMP, or advanced Microsoft/Cloud certifications).
- Previous experience in a "Fractional CIO" or "Account Lead" role within a technical service organization.

What Success Looks Like in This Role
