Client Technology Advisor

Client Technology Advisor

Are you a technically strong IT professional who enjoys advising clients rather than working tickets all day? Rock Technology is seeking a Client Technology Advisor (CTA) with deep technical experience across infrastructure, Microsoft 365, cloud technologies, and cybersecurity.

This role is designed for an experienced IT professional who wants to apply technical expertise in a consultative, client-facing position focused on optimization, security, and long-term client success.

Our Perfect Candidate:

We are seeking a senior, technically fluent Client Technology Advisor (CTA) to serve as a trusted technical and cybersecurity consultant for assigned clients. The ideal candidate brings deep infrastructure, Microsoft 365, cloud, and security experience to client planning and decision-making.

The CTA focuses on retention, optimization, security, and expansion of existing client environments. This is not a reactive helpdesk, quota-driven sales, or relationship-only account management role. The CTA provides technical authority, risk assessment, and strategic recommendations that align technology with business outcomes.
