Technical Advisor

Salary Range: $55,000.00 To $65,000.00 Annually

About Tenom

Tenom Technologies (www.tenom.ca ) is a national IT managed services provider delivering cost-efficient, high-quality technology solutions to clients across Canada. We're in an exciting growth phase — scaling our operations, maturing our processes, and expanding our reach, all while staying focused on the long-term value we bring to our clients.

Our success is built on strong, trusted client relationships, deep technical expertise, and a genuine commitment to first-class client care. As we grow, we're looking for people who share that same commitment and want to help shape what comes next.

Why This Role Exists

Tenom's value to clients depends on the quality of what we recommend — and that starts with a strong technical foundation. Our vCIOs and Customer Success Managers are relationship-driven and strategically focused, but they need a dedicated technical partner who can run discoveries, scope work accurately, and ensure client environments actually meet the Tenom standard across infrastructure, security, and policies. The Technical Advisor role exists to close that gap — grounding our recommendations in technical reality, making complex environments legible to both the team and the client, and keeping clients ahead of what's coming. This role is based out of our Ottawa or Toronto office in a hybrid work environment working 3 days in office.

Who We Need - Key Responsibilities

Discovery & Technical Assessment

• Complete ITSF (IT Success Formula) discoveries to build a comprehensive picture of each client's environment — infrastructure, applications, security, and alignment to business objectives
• Identify gaps, risks, and opportunities against the Tenom standard
• Join scoping calls to vet potential work, define the outcome being delivered, and clarify what a project actually requires
• Own the ongoing health and documentation of client-managed assets, keeping endpoints, network devices, and infrastructure patched, configured, and accounted for
• Measure and ensure the client environment meets the Tenom standards through evaluation and implementation of patches, configurations, policies, etc...
• Conduct root cause analysis on recurring tickets to surface underlying issues before they compound
• Identify trends across the client base and partner with the Service Delivery Manager to implement preventive measures and improve service delivery

Roadmap & Investment Input

• Translate the technical picture into roadmap recommendations the CSM and vCIO can stand behind — covering feasibility, sequencing, and alignment to the Tenom operating model
• Collaborate with vCIOs on IT strategy and provide input on budgeting and investment prioritization
• Help clients understand the real financial impact of their technology decisions
• Proactively identify where clients are falling behind and develop strategies to close the gap
• Stay current on industry standards, emerging technologies, and compliance requirements to keep clients ahead of what's coming
• You'll be measured by whether client environments meet the Tenom standard technology posture
