- Location: La Verne, CA (hybrid) - Onsite with client visits
- Reports To: Technology Alignment Team Lead
- Department: Technology Alignment
- Type: Full-time • Onsite • 8am-5pm PST
Why This Role Exists Every reactive ticket is a symptom of technology that drifted out of alignment. Most MSPs wait for the outage; we prevent it. This role exists to keep every client's technology aligned, benchmarked, and documented - closing gaps before they become downtime and turning findings into a smarter, more proactive service model.
You are accountable for: every assigned client benchmarked and scored on schedule, and each scheduled service day runs at least 90% proactive - with findings documented and reviewed with the client.
What You'll Own - Benchmarking & scorecards. Review each assigned client's LAN/WAN and configurations against MSP and industry standards, on schedule, using the benchmarking platform.
- The Scheduled Service Day. Run BDOS and EDOS client meetings, complete Unique Client Checklists, and deliver and review the TAE Service Day Deliverable - holding 90% proactive / 10% reactive or better.
- Fewer reactive tickets. Close the misalignments that drive reactive work, pushing Tickets per Endpoint per Month and average resolution time down.
- Documentation & SOPs. Build and maintain the client technical documentation library and client-specific SOPs - app installs, new-user setups, endpoint config.
- Sharper standards. Contribute benchmarks to the Standards Committee and keep the standards library evolving.
- Revenue from findings. Surface project opportunities from what you find and feed the vCIO preflight and Technology Business Review (TBR) process.
What Success Looks Like - Every assigned client is benchmarked and scored on schedule - 100%.
- Scheduled service days run 90% proactive or better.
- Tickets per endpoint and resolution times trend down quarter over quarter.
- Documentation and SOPs stay current - nothing lives only in your head.
Who Thrives Here - A proactive builder who would rather prevent the fire than fight it.
- Methodical and documentation-loving - finishes the scorecard and writes the SOP.
- Client-facing and credible: can walk an office, run a client meeting, and explain risk in plain business terms.
- Disciplined with time; protects the proactive agenda when reactive work piles up.
- A team player who does clean warm handoffs with the vCIO, Service Desk, and Projects.
This role is probably NOT for you if... • You live for hero-mode reactive firefighting and the buzz of clearing a huge ticket queue.
• You avoid documentation or treat SOPs and checklists as someone else's job.
• You won't educate clients or hold the proactive line when reactive work piles up.
• You resist standardized process and a set benchmarking schedule.
• You'd rather work solo than hand off cleanly.
RequirementsMust have - 5+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience (LAN/WAN, servers, endpoints, RMM and security tooling) in an MSP or equivalent environment.
- The ability to benchmark systems against standards and translate findings into client-facing risk and business value.
- Strong documentation skills - SOPs, checklists, and a technical library kept current.
- Professional client communication; for the onsite track, comfort leading client meetings and reliable transportation for visits.
- A non-negotiable gate: you can show hands-on proactive benchmarking / technology-alignment work you personally performed - real infrastructure reviewed against standards, findings turned into documented risk, and a client-facing recommendation.
- Based in or able to commute to La Verne, CA for 8am-5pm PST-aligned hours
Nice to have- Bachelor's degree or equivalent; CompTIA Network+ or Security+ (CISSP / Six Sigma for a Senior TAE track).
- Experience with a technology lifecycle / benchmarking platform (myITprocess, vCIO Toolbox, or Lifecycle Insights).
- Compliance and auditing familiarity, and business acumen for framing findings as risk and ROI.
Tools you'll use - The ConnectWise platform (PSA, RMM, CPQ, and more); a technology lifecycle / benchmarking platform; IT Glue and SharePoint; Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio.
How You'll Use AI Modern IT is an AI-first company, and this is an AI-first role. You'll use Microsoft 365 Copilot extensively to work faster and more consistently - drafting SOPs and documentation, summarizing benchmarking findings into client-ready language, and prepping the Service Day Deliverable - and you'll build agents and automations in Copilot Studio to take repetitive work out of the benchmarking and documentation cycle. You validate every output for accuracy before it reaches a client.
Living Our Values - Driven by Purpose - proactive alignment is how we keep clients stable, secure, and downtime-free.
- Outcomes over Effort - success is a down-trending reactive curve, not tickets closed.
- Growing, Not Knowing - you stay curious, keep learning new tech, and sharpen the standards.
- Human Centric - you protect the client relationship with honest education and reliable follow-through.
