The vCIO owns the client's technology strategy and roadmap, sets direction, and translates technical reality into business decisions leadership will act on. Where a client has no technology leadership of its own, the vCIO is that leadership. Where a client has some, the vCIO supplements it. Responsibilities • Own the technology roadmap. Accountable for the client's technology plan and the strategic direction it represents. • Set direction. Work with the client to decide where the environment should go and in what order, aligned to their business goals. • Translate risk.

Serve as the client's trusted technology advisor at the leadership level and run the strategic conversation. • Guide investment and budget planning. Provide leadership during IT budget and technology investment planning. • Shape discovery into strategy. Incorporate the technical discovery and assessment produced by the delivery team into the roadmap as priorities and direction. • Surface strategic opportunity. Identify, through the roadmap, where technology can reduce cost, reduce risk, and advance the client's business, and shape those opportunities for the account team to act on. • Keep the picture current. Maintain an understanding of the client's environment and business so the roadmap stays relevant as both change. Competencies and qualities Communication and presence • Conveys complex technical matters in clear business terms, in writing and in person. • Articulate, composed, and credible in front of an executive team. • Holds a point of view; can tell a client a direction is wrong and be believed. Business acumen • Connects technology decisions to business outcomes, risk, and cost. • Leads budget and investment conversations at the leadership level. Technical literacy • Technically grounded enough to know what to ask, judge what comes back, and earn the trust of engineers. • Not required to be the deepest specialist; depth is supplied by the technical delivery function.
