[Hiring] Virtual Chief Information Officer @Corsica Technologies, LLC

Role Description

The Virtual Chief Information Officer is the technical strategist who fills the technology leadership gap in a client's environment. The vCIO owns the client's technology strategy and roadmap, sets direction, and translates technical reality into business decisions leadership will act on. Where a client has no technology leadership of its own, the vCIO is that leadership. Where a client has some, the vCIO supplements it.

• Turn technical findings into business terms: what is threatened, what it costs, and why it matters now.
• Lead executive engagement.
• Serve as the client's trusted technology advisor at the leadership level and run the strategic conversation.
• Guide investment and budget planning.
• Provide leadership during IT budget and technology investment planning.
• Shape discovery into strategy.
• Incorporate the technical discovery and assessment produced by the delivery team into the roadmap as priorities and direction.
• Surface strategic opportunity.
• Identify, through the roadmap, where technology can reduce cost, reduce risk, and advance the client's business, and shape those opportunities for the account team to act on.
• Keep the picture current.
• Maintain an understanding of the client's environment and business so the roadmap stays relevant as both change.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, information systems, or a related field.

Requirements

• Experience in an MSP or MSSP environment.
• Familiarity with security platforms and managed services sufficient to advise on them, rather than to operate them.
• Industry-specific experience relevant to assigned clients.
• Proficient with Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and SharePoint.
• Familiarity with RMM software, EDR/MDR solutions, professional services automation, and IT documentation platforms is a plus.
