📋 Description

• Serve as the senior technology point of contact for assigned clients, owning the relationship at the strategic level. • Lead discovery conversations to understand client business goals, existing technology investments, and emerging needs. • Translate complex technical topics into clear guidance appropriate for non-technical stakeholders and executive audiences. • Represent Sentinel Blue on client calls with credibility, clarity, and a consultative approach. • Engage clients on technology requests and questions that fall outside standard managed service scope, including specialized platforms, line-of-business applications, and bespoke infrastructure needs. • Assess unfamiliar systems and platforms quickly, understanding hosting requirements, integration dependencies, security posture, and compliance implications even without deep prior experience with the specific tool. • Deploy, configure, and troubleshoot infrastructure and applications as part of client engagements, including standing up servers, modifying system configurations, and resolving application-level issues. • Provide guidance aligned with CMMC, NIST 800-171, and CIS Controls as applicable to client context. • Identify gaps, risks, and remediation priorities across client environments and communicate them clearly. • Help clients evaluate vendor proposals and technology investments, including RFP support, contract review from a technical lens, and total cost of ownership analysis. • Assess vendor security posture, SLA commitments, and integration readiness in the context of the client's environment. • Produce clear client-facing deliverables including assessments, roadmaps, briefing documents, and recommendation reports. • Collaborate with internal IT Operations, SOC, and GRC teams to route client needs to the right delivery function. • Contribute to internal knowledge by documenting patterns, assessments, and guidance for recurring client scenarios.

🎯 Requirements

• 5–8 years of relevant experience in cloud infrastructure, IT consulting, or technology advisory roles with demonstrated client-facing ownership. • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, and modern identity and endpoint management. • Demonstrated ability to assess unfamiliar technology platforms and produce actionable recommendations without requiring end-to-end ownership of the system. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief executive and non-technical audiences clearly and confidently. • Troubleshooting skills and follow-through, including validation and documentation. • Experience engaging with compliance frameworks such as CMMC, NIST 800-171, or CIS Controls in a practical engineering or advisory context. • CompTIA Security+ required within 6 months of hire if not already held.

🏖️ Benefits

• Fully paid individual healthcare, vision and dental insurance for the employee. • Paid certification and training opportunities. • Three weeks of paid vacation + 10 paid holidays. • A supportive environment with a focus on keeping healthy work-life balance. • Retirement benefit (401k) with company match
