The Webcast Customer Support Technician provides customer-focused technical support for virtual and hybrid webcasts. The primary responsibility is to guide internal customers and Market Teams through webcast preparation, platform setup, readiness checks, live-event monitoring, troubleshooting, and post-event follow-up. When business needs, scheduling, location, and technician availability align, the role also provides in-person webcast production support. The technician helps deliver reliable, professional event experiences by communicating clearly, resolving issues promptly, following documented procedures, and escalating risks when appropriate.

  • Troubleshoot incidents using documented procedures; communicate status and workarounds; escalate issues when additional expertise or vendor support is required.
  • Coordinate the receipt, quality review, version control, and distribution of presentation decks and other event materials.
  • Complete required event records, checklists, handoffs, and post-event activities in accordance with applicable standard operating procedures and service expectations.
  • Support post-production tasks, such as basic recording review, approved edits, replay readiness, and delivery coordination, when assigned.
  • Identify recurring issues and improvement opportunities; contribute to knowledge articles, job aids, training materials, and process updates.

Secondary Responsibilities: In-Person Webcast Support

  • In-person support is a secondary responsibility and is assigned based on business need, event schedule, location, required skills, and technician availability.
  • Assist with on-site setup, testing, operation, and breakdown of webcast production equipment.
  • Support event-specific production tasks, which may include camera operation, video playback, switching, microphone setup and monitoring, audio support, teleconference or multi-language feeds, encoding, floor support, and technical directing.
  • Coordinate with venue, audiovisual, network, security, facilities, event, and production partners as applicable.
  • Perform basic equipment checks and minor troubleshooting; promptly report or escalate equipment, network, safety, or facility concerns.
  • Travel to other company sites or approved event locations when required by the position and permitted by local policy.

  • Proficiency with Microsoft PowerPoint and working knowledge of Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, and Outlook.
  • Strong customer service, written communication, and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to remain composed, organized, and responsive during live events and other time-sensitive situations.
  • Ability to prioritize concurrent assignments, document work accurately, follow established procedures, and work independently with appropriate escalation.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across technical, event, business, and regional teams.
  • English required. The role requires effective written and verbal communication with customers, presenters, and technical partners.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with enterprise webcasting platforms, virtual-event platforms, streaming workflows, or live-production systems.
  • Experience supporting remote presenters, hybrid events, medical education programs, or global audiences.
  • Working knowledge of video production, audio systems, microphones, switching, encoding, media playback, and basic signal flow.
  • Experience creating technical documentation, customer guidance, training materials, or knowledge articles.
  • Additional language proficiency relevant to the supported customer population.

Work Schedule and Environment.

  • The role supports live events that may occur outside standard local business hours. Schedule flexibility may be required, subject to local labor requirements and company policy.
  • Hybrid, on-site, or remote work expectations will be defined in the local posting and may change based on business and site requirements.
  • The position may involve extended periods of computer-based work and, for in-person assignments, the setup or movement of production equipment consistent with local safety requirements and any approved accommodations.
