• 7+ years in IT and/or cybersecurity with responsibilities progressing from hands-on technical to strategy and leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to lead discovery, translate technical complexity into clear recommendations, and present to executive and technical audiences.
• Strong working knowledge across core IT domains: networking, Windows/Linux fundamentals, endpoint management, identity, and backup/DR.

Responsibilities

• Lead discovery workshops with executive and technical stakeholders to understand business goals, current-state operations, risk tolerance, and constraints.
• Own the technical direction of the Business Transformation Assessment (BTA): coordinate data collection, validate findings, and develop a prioritized remediation and modernization roadmap.
• Translate technical findings into client-ready recommendations, including clear options, assumptions, scope boundaries, and expected outcomes tailored for both executive and engineering audiences.
• Design managed services solutions (fully managed and co-managed) across infrastructure, endpoint, cloud, identity, backup/DR, and security, ensuring supportability and operational fit.
• Partner with delivery teams (Service Desk, TOC, Tech Ops, TAM/vCIO, Security Operations) to validate feasibility, define responsibilities, and set onboarding and steady-state expectations.
• Position and scope SOC-backed security services (e.g., MDR/XDR, email security and investigation, vulnerability remediation, security awareness) and align response workflows and reporting expectations.
• Create and review proposals, statement-of-work inputs, and solution documentation (including diagrams, requirements, and scope language) to drive accurate delivery and client alignment.
• Support opportunity strategy with Sales: qualify fit, lead technical win plans, and deliver executive-level presentations and solution reviews.
• Enable internal teams through knowledge sharing: contribute to playbooks, talk tracks, and training so Sales and delivery teams can consistently position and deliver solutions.
