Client IT Strategist

Company: New Charter Technologies
Location: Redding
Posted on: September 7, 2021

Job Description:

Are you someone who others look to for advice and strategy when it comes to business and technology?  Are you comfortable meeting and conversing with C-level executives?  Are you able to listen to business problems and come up with creative ways that technology may be able to help solve those problems?  Are you someone whose skillsets could be considered "a major in business, with a minor in technology"?

If you answered yes to most or all of those questions, then we have a position that you will love.  In a Client IT Strategist role you will help our clients create their IT strategy (at a high level, we have IT engineers and architects to work with you and do the really technical parts), plan out their IT budgets, manage all of their technology vendors, and leverage technology to accelerate their objectives.

You will love working with our clients who are premier businesses, municipal governments, healthcare organizations and non-profits throughout California.  You will manage between 15-30 client accounts, helping them to achieve success with the support of our world-class technical engineering team.

On a day to day basis, this includes meeting with clients and sometimes being part of their management or executive teams, planning budgets and IT strategy/roadmaps, meeting with technical leads to facilitate their successful execution of the technology plans, assisting clients with selecting and managing vendors, and researching innovative solutions that address client needs.   Some travel to clients throughout the state of California is required.
