Job description
This is not a helpdesk role. You will not be closing tickets or sitting in a queue. The team handles day to day support. Your job is everything above that.
As Director of Technology Services you will be NQC's senior technical resource. You will own client onboarding, technical alignment, IT standards, senior escalations, and the internal toolstack that powers how we deliver service. You will work closely with the President, participate in client Technology Business Reviews as you build client relationships, and operate with a high degree of autonomy.
This role is designed to grow. As you develop client relationships and tenure at NQC the path leads to a full vCIO function. We are building toward that intentionally.
If you are a senior MSP engineer who is tired of fielding helpdesk tickets and wants to do more strategic, client-facing, and impactful work, this role was built for you.
What You Will Own
Client Technical Alignment and vCIO
- Participate in quarterly Technology Business Reviews alongside the President and build toward owning that process as client relationships develop
- Build and present technology roadmaps tailored to each client's mission and budget
- Develop and maintain NQC's IT standards framework and assess client environments against those standards
- Own the monthly client alignment summary process including analysis of vendor security reporting
- Identify remediation opportunities and guide clients toward stronger security posture and technology alignment
Client Onboarding
- Lead the technical execution of every new client onboarding from discovery through go-live
- Deploy and configure the NQC management and security stack across new client environments
- Build out client documentation and hand off to the helpdesk team with a complete environment reference
- Conduct new user orientation and ensure clients understand how to work with NQC from day one
Senior Escalations and Project Work
- Handle all technical escalations above Tier 2 that require senior engineering judgment
- Own client requests that fall outside the ticket structure including infrastructure changes, DNS updates, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace tenant changes, and vendor coordination
- Act as the technical backstop for the helpdesk team without pulling tickets from the queue
- Coordinate with third party vendors and carriers on client behalf when needed
Toolstack and Operational Infrastructure
- Own the configuration and administration of Autotask PSA including workflow rules, reporting, and dashboards
- Maintain and improve documentation standards across all client environments in ITGlue
- Evaluate and optimize the NQC toolstack across Kaseya's suite of RMM, backup, and security products
- Build and maintain reporting that gives the team and leadership visibility into helpdesk performance
- Support the Operations Coordinator with PSA configuration and automation, * You will not be assigned helpdesk tickets or expected to close day to day support requests
- You will not be managing the helpdesk team directly. That is handled by the Operations Coordinator
- You will not be starting from scratch. NQC has a functioning helpdesk structure, an established client base, and operational infrastructure already in place
Why NQC
- Small team, real autonomy. You will have direct influence on how the company grows and operates.
- Mission-driven clients. We work with nonprofits and behavioral health organizations doing important work.
- Structure already in place. The helpdesk is running. Your job is to build on top of it, not hold it together.
- Room to grow. As NQC scales this role scales with it. The person who does this well has a long runway here.
- Flexible remote work. We are a remote first team. Client visits happen but your daily work is done from wherever you are most productive.
Pay: $83,000.00 - $94,000.00 per year
