• Collaborate with event producers, broadcast teams, and AV vendors to ensure seamless, professional-grade streaming experiences.
• Maintain and optimize encoding profiles, latency settings, and quality standards based on platform requirements and target audiences.
• Conduct pre-event rehearsals and technical checks with presenters and remote contributors.
• Document technical setups, workflows, lessons learned, and produce supporting diagrams for future reference.
• Stay current on accessibility and compliance best practices, including captioning, ASL integration, and multi-language support.
• Support signal routing, feed integration, and failover contingency planning.
• Provide on-call technical support during live events, especially for executive-level or high-visibility streams.
• Ensure secure and authenticated content delivery for confidential or internal streams.

• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex signal flow and hybrid streaming setups.
• Strong communication and organizational skills; capable of performing under pressure in live environments.
• Familiarity with accessibility requirements for public-facing streams, including captions and language support.
• Working knowledge of enterprise video platforms such as Kaltura, Microsoft Stream, and Zoom Webinars is a plus.
