If you think in systems, take ownership without being asked, and want a role where solving hard technical problems and helping people grow both count as real work, this is built for you. Be Structured Technology Group (BSTG) runs on three things: Excellence, Integrity, and Growth Mindset. We don't put those words on a poster and move on; we use them to decide who we hire, how we handle mistakes, and what a good day at work looks like.
As Technical Team Lead / Technical Account Manager, you're the technical anchor for a set of customer accounts and the working lead for a team of engineers and technicians who look to you when things get complicated. It's a dual-track role: part senior technician, part people leader, with BSTG leadership behind you either way.
BSTG is a Microsoft-focused managed IT and cybersecurity provider serving small and mid-sized businesses across greater Los Angeles. We're looking for someone who brings both deep technical skill and genuine leadership instincts to one of the most important roles on our team.
On one side, you're the person your assigned customers trust to understand their environment, anticipate problems, and translate technology decisions into business outcomes. On the other, you're coaching, developing, and holding accountable the system administrators and help desk technicians who report to you, working closely with the Professional Services Team, Service Desk Team, CTO, and COO.
Team Leadership and Development
-
Directly supervise a team of system administrators and help desk technicians. Conduct regular 1:1s, performance evaluations, and documented coaching sessions in coordination with the COO.
-
Set clear expectations, hold the team accountable to KPIs and SLAs, and foster a culture of ownership, growth, and collaboration.
-
Identify skill gaps and coordinate training to continuously raise the technical floor of your team.
-
Manage scheduling and shift coverage to ensure adequate response capacity across customer accounts.
-
Serve as the first escalation stop for your team before issues reach senior leadership.
Technical Escalation and Delivery
-
Act as the primary technical escalation point for your assigned accounts. When your technicians hit the wall, you are the resource who gets things unstuck.
-
Administer and troubleshoot server infrastructure, including Windows Server and Linux, virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V), and cloud environments (Azure, Microsoft 365).
-
Manage and maintain network infrastructure, including firewalls (SonicWALL, UniFi, Meraki), switches, VPNs, and DNS/DHCP. Troubleshoot performance issues and drive resolution.
-
Implement and maintain security controls: access management, endpoint protection, email security, MFA, and backup/recovery.
-
Conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability reviews across customer environments, surfacing risk and recommending remediation.
-
Maintain and develop documentation and runbooks in IT Glue to support team efficiency and customer continuity.
Customer Relationship and Responsibilities
-
Own the strategic customer relationship for your assigned accounts. You are their trusted advisor, not just their support contact.
-
Conduct Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with IT decision-makers, covering strategic roadmaps, security posture, and upcoming initiatives.
-
Translate technical findings and recommendations into clear business impact language. Help customers understand what their technology decisions mean for their operations and risk exposure.
-
Monitor ticket boards and project pipelines for your accounts, ensuring issues are resolved completely and customers never feel left behind.
-
Track and record billable hours accurately to support timely invoicing and operational reporting.
-
Participate in the on-call rotation throughout the year, serving as the primary escalation resource for after-hours urgent issues on a scheduled basis.
