Technical assistant Jobs in Madison, WI

Built on Service. Powered by People.

Impact exists because a small group of industry leaders believed companies in our space were doing it wrong. Many prioritized margins while the people doing the work and the clients relying on it became an afterthought. Impact was built differently: invest in great people, trust them to do great work, and deliver the kind of service clients remember. That approach helped us grow from a small office technology company into a national managed services provider, while remaining privately owned and people-first.

What makes Impact special is that growth has never come at the expense of the values that got us here. We continue to reinvest in our people, our capabilities, and the opportunities ahead so employees can grow alongside the business. We've built something special, but we're far from finished. The people who join Impact now will help define what comes next.

Job Overview

The Technical Account Manager (TAM) serves as a trusted technical advisor and governance partner for assigned managed services clients. This role provides proactive technical oversight by assessing client environments against standards, identifying risk and lifecycle exposure, and translating findings into clear, actionable recommendations. The TAM partners closely with internal delivery teams and customer stakeholders to ensure environments are stable, supportable, and aligned with best practices. This position is focused on strategic technical visibility and planning rather than day-to-day ticket execution.

• Translate technical findings into actionable recommendations that support client planning and decision making
• Partner with internal service, engineering, and project teams to route and validate remediation efforts
• Contribute to and maintain accurate technical documentation and environment visibility
• Support lifecycle planning discussions by identifying end-of-life, end-of-support, and supportability risks
• Participate in client meetings to review environment health, risks, and recommended actions

Qualifications & Experience

• 5+ years of experience in IT service delivery with managed services experience strongly preferred
• Proven ability to perform environment assessments and technical reviews (including audit-style evaluations) and identify broader technical patterns, risks, and gaps
• Experience progressing beyond support roles into systems engineering, implementation, or project work
• Strong client-facing communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts into business terms
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 and Azure environments
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (firewalls, VPNs, routing, and switching), endpoint management, backup, and disaster recovery
• Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts including identity, access management, and endpoint protection
• Experience using MSP tools such as RMM, PSA, and documentation platforms
• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience
