vCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer)

Posted 01/26/2024

Job Description

FullScope IT, an IT support and consulting leader for over 20 years, is seeking a dedicated and efficient vCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer) to join our team.

The vCIO’s primary responsibility is to manage clients and their businesses. As a part of this management, they are responsible for providing a business point of contact for the client. They report to the COO. vCIOs will ensure company policy and procedures are followed and maintained. 

This position requires a high level of independence, business acumen, strong client service, and skills. Organizational ability is important to keep track of all tasks. Accurate and timely monitoring of client work, service calls, and related documentation is desired. 

The vCIO meets with the owners/executives of our client companies as defined in our company processes as part of the Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR). QBRs must be enticing and non-technical so that the business person recognizes the value they receive and is eager to attend regularly. In addition to providing a basic summary of the services we have been performing and observations made regularly, the meetings also include future planning and budgeting. 

The meeting agendas are structured so that we demonstrate our value by identifying how the client can use technology to:

  • Increase revenue
  • Reduce costs
  • Enable their employees to be more efficient
  • Gain or maintain a competitive advantage
  • Reduce or mitigate risk
  • Solution stack compliance

In addition, between regular client meetings, the vCIO is available to answer quick, high-level questions regarding technology and business. Because we want the vCIO to act in the client’s best interest, this is not a commission-based role.
