The Role
This is the production lead seat for AV and video teleconferencing at the agency, and it is a live production job. You build the run-of-show, coordinate rehearsals and presenter briefings, assign production roles, and direct the room while the event is live: executive meetings, conferences, town halls, webinars, and hybrid sessions. If your background is program management without live production experience, this is not the seat.The position is half time. The hours follow the event calendar rather than a fixed daily schedule, so event weeks run heavier and quiet weeks run lighter, and on event days you are the production lead from setup through wrap. The shape of the role suits a senior production lead balancing other engagements.The agency runs Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, and Slack for video conferencing and collaboration, with Cisco and Poly platforms in its conference and AV rooms. Headquarters is in Washington, DC, with 53 field offices nationwide; about 2,100 people rely on these systems.
What You’ll Do
- Lead planning, production, and execution of live, virtual, and hybrid events, serving as primary production lead for executive meetings, conferences, town halls, webinars, and special events
- Develop production plans, event timelines, run-of-show documents, cue sheets, and contingency plans
- Coordinate rehearsals, technical run-throughs, and presenter briefings, and coach presenters on the technology
- Direct live event operations, manage transitions between speakers, presentations, and multimedia content, and monitor audio, video, lighting, streaming, recording, and presentation systems to maintain production quality throughout the event
- Oversee recording and live streaming of events for internal and external audiences
- Ensure all production elements are prepared and delivered on schedule and meet required quality standards
- Assign production roles for each event and manage schedules, equipment availability, and staffing across concurrent events
- Consult with customers on event objectives and recommend production approaches that fit the audience, venue, and budget
- Coordinate the operation of conference room technologies, executive briefing spaces, and collaboration rooms, including vendor and warranty coordination
- Manage AV and VTC assets, licensing, and inventory records, and run post-event reviews that produce real process improvements
What You’ll Need
- Ten years in AV and VTC event production, in an enterprise or comparable multi-site environment
- A track record as production lead on executive or public-facing live events
- Experience coordinating technical staff, vendors, schedules, and equipment across concurrent events
- Working knowledge of VTC endpoints, codecs, DSPs, control systems, and presentation systems, enough to direct troubleshooting under pressure
- Experience supporting events and rooms across a multi-office footprint
Nice to Have
- AVIXA CTS certification
- PMP or a comparable project management credential
- ITIL v4 Foundations
- Prior support to a federal agency, particularly public meetings or formal proceedings
- Experience running room booking and event intake at enterprise scale
- Section 508 accessibility experience, particularly captioning for public events
Location, Schedule, and Logistics
- Half-time schedule, roughly 20 hours per week, worked on-site between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Hours flex with the event calendar; occasional weekend events may come up with advance government approval.
- Live events sometimes land at the edges of the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. window, so expect early starts or late wraps around major events.
- On-site at agency headquarters in Washington, DC (NoMa area, Metro-accessible). Telework is by exception only and requires government approval.
- You will work on a government-furnished laptop. Personal devices cannot connect to the agency network.
- At least 40 hours per year of paid professional training in your core skill areas, at no cost to you.
- Occasional travel to agency field offices, event sites, and official events held away from headquarters, reimbursed at federal travel rates.
