Job Description

Job Description Description VC3 delivers a unique result for our clients. We help clients experience increased productivity, improved I.T. satisfaction, predictable I.T. budgets, and enhanced business agility; while reducing downtime, lost revenue, and overall business risk.

Our application of technology standards, proven processes, and growth minded people are key components to that result.

The Strategic Advisor is positioned to engage with our clients at an executive level, connecting with the key decision maker for long-term technology planning.

Successful service, productive solutions, reliable experience, and confidence in technology investment require long-term planning that the Strategic Advisor builds with that executive decision maker.

Meeting with their clients on a scheduled cadence, Strategic Advisors bring forward findings, issues, and opportunities to discuss and identify where technology can solve business problems or be leveraged to improve business outcomes.

Pairing that content with an ongoing understanding of the client's business reality, goals and concerns, they produce an ongoing roadmap of outcomes-driven technology investment for the client.

Our consultative approach is key in keeping VC3 as a market leader in managed I.T. services.

In addition to external responsibilities, it is critical that Strategic Advisors identify opportunities for VC3 to improve upon existing services or add new high value services.

We are a data driven company. We search for and analyze trends in the global marketplace and across our client base.

The Strategic Advisor combines this analysis with an in-depth business understanding to progressively improve alignment of our offerings with the client's needs.

Our People:
Our team members are collaborative, positive, and dedicated to mutual success. Transparency isn't just a buzzword here; it's a commitment to open communication, ensuring every voice is heard and valued.
