Technical Event Producer at We & Goliath

At We & Goliath, it’s our mission to help ensure that our clients' virtual and hybrid events run smooth & look amazing. 

We provide a wide range of hybrid event and marketing support - from branding to marketing strategy to expert-level production. We work with our clients, their speakers, and their teams to coach, train and prep for a tightly run event. We work weekends for some events, so the schedule is full but flexible. 

It's essential that our clients are happy with the services we provide and they feel they receive a ton of value during their time working with us. Many of our clients are repeat customers, and we work hard to build those lasting relationships. We work with many non-profits and high-level NGOs. Our team loves working with good causes and we are passionate about the giant goals we can accomplish when we work together.

We're seeking a Technical Producer for our virtual and hybrid event production services. 

This is a contract position to start and can move into part-time or full-time, if we work well together.

You’ll need a thorough understanding of the modern virtual event space, its platforms and best practices, as well as the technologies which feed into it, and be able to pivot those skills into the on-site hybrid world as necessary. As with any live production role, you’ll also need the ability to think ahead, be on top of a tight schedule, send reminders, follow up on time, work with project management tools, and follow our systems, all while suggesting improvements when needed.  

You’ll need experience working directly with clients and their presenters that range from volunteer managers to international C-suite executives.  This means handling fast-paced troubleshooting of both technology and people, both virtually and in person. If you’ve led plenty of event teams with a significant hybrid component in the past, you’ll likely find this position just as energized, but even more positive.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work with a fun and passionate team. Seriously – we love what we do! 

Your Role...

You’ll manage event production services for our clients and partners. Regular responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Virtual event planning and preparation, scheduling, and strong project management skills, with a balanced emphasis on platform management and production technology. You’ll also need to bend these skills into the on-site hybrid sector as well.
• Work with clients in a respectful and professional manner, managing any needs that come up along the way and gently reminding them when deadlines are approaching.
• Respond to inquiries with prompt and accurate information at all times, with a strict attention to detail and a broad understanding of the scope of the event.
• Catch mistakes or missing information long before it causes issues with the production process.
• Take point on preemptive troubleshooting and provide exemplary technical support for your assigned events.
• Be fast AND accurate with your responses so clients – and the rest of our team – aren’t left waiting and wondering.
• Take initiative to learn, and let the team know if you need assistance or clarification. We’re learning fanatics, and if you are, too, you’ve found the right place!
• Take responsibility for your time, and tackle tasks in a timely manner. Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize.
• We are constantly working to improve and would expect you to speak up on those things that need to be addressed, and to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

What we're looking for... 

You’re able to work quickly and accurately. Have fun, and at the same time know when it’s time to get down to business. Be professional, tech-savvy, adaptable, highly self-motivated, organized, and both comfortable and effective working from home.

If you are friendly and get along with many different types of people, and you can handle working with high-level executives and people who are under a ton of pressure to produce the best event possible, read on….

Your Skills…

• Exceptional virtual event, end-to-end project management track record over the last 2-5 years
• Be fluent in virtual production techniques and technologies and be able to translate those skills to hybrid applications as required
• Intermediate non-linear video editing & format conversion
• Intermediate vector- and pixel-based image creation

  Software and Hardware Technical Skills:

We’d like you to be familiar with a solid event tech stack and the ability to learn new software easily.

What's in it for you... 

We are a fun team doing meaningful work. We take care of our employees, and enjoy working together.

Each of our co-founders have over 20+ years of experience with digital marketing and entrepreneurship. We love creating and optimizing systems, so there are plenty of opportunities to try new things and grow your skills.
