Technology Consultant (Internal title: Virtual Chief Information Officer / vCIO)
What Does This Role Actually Do?
Most companies don't have a dedicated Chief Information Officer, and that's exactly where you come in.
As a vCIO at ActiveCo, a New Charter Technologies Company, you become the strategic technology partner for a portfolio of clients who rely on you to help them think bigger, plan smarter, and use technology as a competitive advantage. You're not just managing accounts; you're embedded in your clients' businesses, understanding their goals, anticipating their needs, and guiding them forward.
This is a role for someone who genuinely loves building relationships, thinks strategically, and gets energized by turning complex challenges into clear, actionable plans. If you find yourself most fulfilled when a client says "I don't know what I'd do without you," this might be exactly where you belong.
The Opportunity

You'll work closely with internal teams, leadership, and clients daily, with local travel to client sites expected as a regular part of the role. The position offers a base salary of CAD $80,000 to $100,000 depending on experience and qualifications, plus additional performance-based incentive opportunities.

Serving as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for a portfolio of managed client accounts
Conducting regular onsite and offsite client meetings to assess needs, communicate roadmaps, and align technology with business goals
Identifying and developing new opportunities within your existing client base to support their growth (minimal outside sales required)
Overseeing and managing Professional Services projects from scoping through delivery
Handling service escalations with professionalism and urgency
Maintaining accurate client playbooks, forecasts, and account plans

What Success Looks Like
Managing a healthy portfolio of client accounts with strong revenue retention
Maintaining gross margin targets across your client base
Contributing consistently to the team's net revenue growth goals
Keeping voluntary client attrition low and satisfaction high
Completing quarterly priorities and personal learning objectives on time

An MBA or equivalent experience, with a genuine passion for leveraging business strategy to drive technology outcomes for clients

Organized, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously

Customer-focused with exceptional interpersonal skills
Strong organizational, time management, and planning abilities
Resourceful problem-solver who takes initiative
