Are you a master of event production, ready to orchestrate high-impact virtual, hybrid, and live experiences for thousands? Step into a critical role where you will immediately own and deliver a portfolio of high-profile enterprise events. This is your chance to be the connective tissue between content strategy and technical execution, directly shaping the most significant internal and external moments - from large-scale internal broadcasts to leadership summits.

Your contributions will not only elevate the quality of events but also build scalable processes that empower future initiatives, fostering a vibrant culture of engagement and collaboration.

What You'll Do

• Lead content and production execution across virtual, hybrid, and live enterprise events, from early planning through live show and post-event wrap.
• Partner with program stakeholders to design the full event experience, including technical agenda, show flow, audience engagement strategy, and production quality standards aligned to each event's goals.
• Serve as the primary keynote and general session production liaison between the core events team, internal technical teams, external technology partners, third-party agencies, and internal stakeholders.
• Direct live broadcasts in real time, making confident production calls in partnership with the events team and technical crew.
• Manage simultaneous work streams across multiple events at varying stages of production without losing precision on any of them.
• Own end-to-end speaker management, including communications, scheduling, tech checks, rehearsals, recordings, and live appearances for internal and external presenters.
• Provide on-camera coaching and presentation guidance to executives and senior leaders, ensuring every speaker is confident, prepared, and on-message before going live.
• Coordinate all presenter resources and support systems, ensuring nothing is left to chance on show day.
• Lead pre-event table reads, stakeholder reviews, and full rehearsals, facilitating alignment between content leads and the production team.
• Work closely with content leads to integrate all presentation elements-slides, video, live demos, remote speakers-into a cohesive, polished show.
• Build and maintain repeatable production processes for enterprise event delivery, scalable enough to serve a complex, matrixed organization and precise enough to hold up under pressure.
• Own all production documentation: timelines, session logistics, rehearsal and tech check schedules, cue sheets, and run-of-show documents.
• Develop and manage content collection and delivery processes: track presentation versions, follow up on missing assets, and ensure all final materials are consolidated and accounted for in advance of each show.
• Lead structured post-event production debriefs covering technical performance, content quality, and process gaps, translating findings into actionable improvements.
• Maintain and continuously optimize production templates and tools for the broader events team.
• Collaborate closely with the Events team and cross-functional partners in internal technical teams, Communications, Workplace Experience, and other business units to ensure cohesive, on-brand execution.
• Facilitate alignment between content strategy and event production for high-profile meetings, conferences, and leadership events.
• Participate in regular core team and production meetings, and represent the production function confidently in ad hoc stakeholder discussions.
• Partner with external technical production vendors and third-party agencies, managing scope, timelines, and accountability on deliverables.
