After fresh install networkmanager.service does not exist.

Greetings everyone. For the last few days I have been working on honing my Arch installation techniques and I'm loving getting into an OS that really requires some thinking.  But now I am stuck and I'm not exactly sure why. I have a Lenovo W530 that has been my Linux workhorse for a while now. I've installed Arch on it and I can get all the way to rebooting the system and logging in and messing about, but I can't get the network to come online. In the Live environment I could get my wifi and wired connection running no problem. I went through during the install and added additional packages that I wanted including the NetworkManager package. But on reboot, I can't get it to start or enable the networkmanager service.  Both commands give me the output:

# systemctl start networkmanager
Failed to start networkmanager.service: Unit networkmanager.service not found.

I can confirm that the package is indeed installed:

pacman -Q | grep networkman
networkmanager 1.26.2-1

I feel like maybe I'm missing something obvious here. A configuration step maybe?

Unit names are files, and file names are case-sensitive.
