About the role

AV Production Specialist at Anthropic responsible for the day-to-day operation of event technology behind company communications, including all-hands, executive presentations, and live broadcasts. Combines operations with engineering depth to ensure readiness, reliability, and quality of live/hybrid events.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical execution of live and hybrid events, from small executive presentations to company-wide all-hands broadcasts reaching thousands of participants
  • Serve as technical director for live productions across the full range, up to and including executive presentations and company-wide broadcasts. Operate production systems during live events including video switchers, audio consoles, camera systems, playback, and streaming encoders
  • Build and run the technical run-of-show: cue sheets, source lists, rehearsal schedules, and backup plans
  • Direct contractors and onsite technicians during productions, delegating clearly under time pressure
  • Troubleshoot and escalate complex production issues with clear diagnostic context
  • Communicate status, risk, and resolution to non-technical stakeholders in clear, calm, jargon-free language
  • Handle confidentiality and access requirements for sensitive sessions, including recording and streaming controls
  • Own the event technology intake process end-to-end: request triage, technical scoping conversations, and staffing
  • Right-size production approach to event type, translating stakeholder goals into an equipment and staffing plan that fits the constraints and scope of our team’s SLA
  • Take on genuinely novel events and leave a repeatable standard behind — a template, runbook, or gear list that makes the next one easier than the first and repeatable by the team
  • Maintain the event technology calendar and coordinate coverage across the AV Operations team
  • Partner with Events, Internal Communications, and Workplace teams on lead times, expectations, and readiness
  • Execute preventative maintenance programs and recurring room sweeps across event spaces and conference rooms
  • Maintain and test inventory of equipment including wireless microphones, cameras, and portable production gear pre event, following event production framework
  • Contribute to runbooks, standard operating procedures, and knowledge base documentation
  • Surface recurring operational pain points to AV Engineering as candidates for systemic fixes

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in AV operations, live event production, or technical event support
  • Owned the technical side of live productions end-to-end — not just operated a single position
  • Working fluency across event audio, video, camera, and streaming systems, with enough depth to diagnose problems
  • Energized by being the front-facing technical partner to executives and event producers
  • Ability to bring structure to ambiguity by building systems for repeatable events
