Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO)
What Does a vCIO 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.
