Client Technology Advisor (CTA) / MSP
Job Description
Client Technology Advisor (CTA) / MSP
\n
Location: La Verne, CA
\n
Work Setup: Onsite
\n
Salary: $90K–$115K + bi-annual performance bonus + annual profit sharing
\n
\n
For this opportunity, you’ll be joining a well-established Managed Service Provider supporting small and mid-sized businesses throughout the Greater Los Angeles market. This is a highly collaborative, standards-driven MSP with a strong focus on employee development, technical growth, and promoting from within.
\n
\n
The Client Technology Advisor position is designed for someone who has grown through the MSP ranks, ideally Tier 2/Tier 3, Systems Administrator, Escalations Engineer, or Junior Project Engineer and is ready to move toward a more consultative role while remaining technical.
\n
\n
This is not a traditional help desk position or Account Manager role. You’ll become the technical SME for a dedicated group of clients, learning their environments inside and out, identifying technical gaps, improving documentation and standards, and helping shape their technology roadmap alongside the vCIO and engineering teams.
\n
\n
What You’ll Be Doing
\n
- \n
- Own the technical knowledge and documentation for approximately 15 MSP clients
- Perform technical discovery and assessments of client environments
- Identify infrastructure, security, cloud, and lifecycle gaps
- Work alongside vCIOs to help develop client technology roadmaps
- Serve as the internal SME when engineering, projects, NOC, SOC, or support teams need deeper knowledge of a client
- Participate in client meetings and provide technical recommendations
- Help standardize client environments and improve documentation
- Coordinate with project, escalation, security, and procurement teams
- Remain technical and jump hands-on when needed
- Support client onboarding and lifecycle initiatives

Prior experience as a TAM, Junior vCIO, Project Engineer, Escalation Engineer, or consultative Systems Administrator is a plus, but not required.
\n
\n
Who This Makes Sense For
\n
This is a strong opportunity for someone who has been in the trenches handling tickets, escalations, projects, on-call work, and client issues but wants to take the next step in their career.
\n
The long-term track is toward vCIO and technology consulting, so they’re specifically looking for someone who wants to use their technical experience to become more strategic and client-facing. Technical strength is more important coming in and they can help teach the consultative side.
