• Risk & Standards Alignment – Identify technology and security risks, rank them by business impact, and ensure client leadership makes conscious, documented decisions about which risks to fix, accept, or insure.
• Account Growth & Retention – Own retention and healthy account growth by identifying opportunities where technology investments advance client goals and developing project and service recommendations with clear business justification.
• Client Education – Proactively educate clients on industry trends, emerging technologies, and compliance requirements before the need arises, in clear, non-technical language.
• Vendor & Contract Management – Advise clients on vendor contracts, license renewals, and purchasing decisions with vendor-neutral guidance.
• Documentation & Account Planning – Maintain complete, current account documentation, including client profiles, decisions, action items, and risk registers.

• Strong business acumen, including the ability to connect technology decisions to productivity, risk, and financial outcomes.
