Job description
For more than twenty years, Tower 23 IT has helped organizations navigate technology, cybersecurity, and compliance challenges so they can operate securely, stay compliant, and grow with confidence.
We specialize in Managed IT, Cybersecurity, and Compliance services for defense contractors, healthcare, legal, financial, and other professional service firms that need a trusted partner to help them navigate an increasingly complex technology, security and compliance landscape.
We are building a company that creates value for our clients, teammates, and owners, and we're looking for a Technical Services Manager to help lead the next stage of our growth.
The Technical Services Manager is part of the leadership team, reports to the President and is accountable for the technical standards, architecture, quality, and continuous improvement of all technology services delivered by Tower 23 IT. This role provides leadership for technical operations, project engineering, service delivery standards, tools, and technology stack governance. The Technical Services Manager defines how technical work is performed, ensures client environments meet company standards, leads technical escalations, mentors engineers, and drives continuous improvement across our tools, technologies, systems, and processes. This is a player-coach leadership role that combines hands-on technical expertise with technical team leadership.
This role is ideal for an experienced MSP engineer who wants to move beyond solving technical problems and into shaping how technical services are designed, delivered, standardized, and continuously improved across the organization.
This is a full-time, in-office leadership role based in North County San Diego . Because this position is responsible for mentoring engineers, driving technical standards, and collaborating closely with leadership, we are seeking candidates who live in North County San Diego and can work from our office daily. This is not a remote or hybrid position.
