In this role, you’ll be on the front lines of technical support, helping our staff, contractors, and executive leaders stay connected, productive, and secure across a wide range of devices and platforms.

THE COMPANY
Vistage is the world’s largest CEO coaching and peer advisory organization for small and midsize business (SMB) leaders. We offer the most effective approach for SMB enterprises to achieve better results and grow faster and for SMB leaders to maximize their impact.
The 45,000+ members we serve are CEOs, owners and executives of SMB organizations located across the US and in 40 countries worldwide. These SMB executives spend a day or more with Vistage every month, immersing themselves in our comprehensive platform to become better leaders, make better decisions and achieve better results. Our platform features three core elements: valuable perspectives from a trusted group of peers, professional guidance and meeting facilitation from an accomplished business leader (the Chair), as well as deep insights from subject matter experts.
Vistage was founded more than 65 years ago, and we’ve grown every year since then by innovating to stay on the cutting edge of business and relentlessly delivering value to our members. Our success is demonstrated by Vistage member companies growing 2.2 times faster than non-Vistage peer companies. Learn more about us at www.vistage.com.
VISTAGE EMPLOYEE LIFE
Vistage’s success is anchored by a unique culture that reinforces employee commitment to the Vistage mission. It is a spirit of collective success and achievement which is also reflected in our workplace. Here’s a sample of the employee experience that helps drive our success:
- Welcome to our home. Our US headquarters sits in the heart of San Diego’s UTC area. It features an open, modern aesthetic with lots of collaboration spaces and opportunities to interact with co-workers. We stay fueled up with free snacks and a weekly free lunch day, along with free lattes and nitro cold brew coffee on tap! From our San Diego base, we collaborate with colleagues based across the country and around the world.
- We sweat the details. Our on-site gym is decked out with Peloton bikes and other top-tier fitness equipment to keep your workout challenging and fresh. Our campus also offers access to an additional gym, volleyball courts, and a scenic office park, perfect for getting in those midday steps!
- We keep it fun! Whether you’re with us in the Padres luxury suite enjoying our summer baseball outing, unwinding during an employee happy hour, or toasting your co-workers at our epic annual holiday party, you’ll see that we take having fun as seriously as helping our members succeed! The office vibe is business casual with flexible schedules, along with the freedom to work from home three days per if you so choose! We value mutual respect and laughter . . . we hate stiff formality. You’ll have regular access to Vistage executives—our CEO even buys everyone doughnuts to fuel his informal employee chats!
Vistage’s culture and sense of mission drive employee loyalty: more than half of our staff has been with the company for five years or longer. Are you ready to start your Vistage journey?
