  • 10Right-size production approach to event type, translating stakeholder goals into an equipment and staffing plan that fits the constraints and scope of our team’s SLA
  • 11Take on genuinely novel events and leave a repeatable standard behind — a template, runbook, or gear list that makes the next one easier than the first and repeatable by the team

Requirements

  • 01Have 5+ years of hands-on experience in AV operations, live event production, or technical event support
  • 02Have owned the technical side of live productions end-to-end — not just operated a single position
  • 03Bring working fluency across event audio, video, camera, and streaming systems, with enough depth to diagnose problems rather than only report them
  • 04Are energized rather than drained by being the front-facing technical partner to executives and event producers
  • 05Bring structure to ambiguity by building systems for repeatable events
