Job Summary

At Abacus Group, we believe the future of technology services in regulated industries will be defined by the ability to securely operationalize modern infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud, automation, and AI, not simply deploy tools. The Virtual Technology Manager (VTM) serves as the strategic execution and operational orchestration partner for clients operating in highly regulated environments across Abacus’s Financial Services business unit (hedge funds, private equity firms, RIAs, asset managers, family offices) and Healthcare business unit (hospital and health systems, physician groups, payers, and other regulated healthcare organizations). This role sits at the intersection of technology strategy, operational execution, cybersecurity, infrastructure modernization, cloud services, AI enablement, and service lifecycle management.

The VTM works closely with client stakeholders and internal Abacus teams to transform strategic priorities into operational reality by coordinating execution, driving technology adoption, improving operational maturity, and reducing risk across complex client environments. Operating as a trusted technology advisor, the VTM helps align technology decisions to business outcomes while orchestrating delivery across engineering, security, professional services, operations, AI, and client experience teams. Beyond their assigned client engagements, VTMs also execute against Abacus’s catalog of standardized VTM service offerings and technical deliverables, delivering engineering outcomes across the broader client base.

VTM engagements follow a portfolio-based or a dedicated assignment model. Portfolio-based VTMs support a range of clients and hours based on business need, while dedicated VTMs are assigned primarily or exclusively to a single client. In either model, the VTM remains an Abacus employee, accountable to Abacus’s standards, operating model, and management structure. The core responsibilities and expectations of the VTM remain consistent across both engagement models, with dedicated assignments providing greater client-specific capacity, continuity, and embedded engagement.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth, operational leadership, executive communication skills, and the ability to coordinate complex initiatives across multiple stakeholders and technologies. This role is ideal for someone looking to move beyond traditional infrastructure management and play a meaningful role in the modernization of technology operations within regulated industries.
