  • Coordinate with networking, security, endpoint, identity, facilities, and external AV partners to resolve issues that span multiple technical domains. 
  • Support room lifecycle management, including technology assessments, refresh planning, end-of-life reviews, replacement recommendations, inventory accuracy, and annual site review activities. 
  • Help maintain room-finder data, room documentation, support procedures, knowledge articles, diagrams, and standard work. 
• Digital Signage 
  • Engineer and support the enterprise digital-signage service, including App space or other approved signage platforms, players, displays, content endpoints, registration, device groups, and monitoring. 
  • Establish and maintain digital-signage governance, technical standards, security practices, support processes, and lifecycle requirements. 
  • Support signage deployments from requirements and design through procurement, installation, registration, testing, operational handoff, and ongoing support. 
  • Troubleshoot signage players, displays, content playback, connectivity, authentication, scheduling, device registration, and platform-service issues. 
  • Partner with communications, facilities, site IT, business stakeholders, and installation partners to ensure signage content and technology are fit for purpose. 
  • Maintain signage inventories, service health reporting, license and cost-reclass information, support documentation, and site-specific implementation records. 
  • Provide training and enablement for site contacts and content owners so that routine activities can be completed safely and consistently.

  • Provide Level 2 and Level 3 support for collaboration services and participate in incident, request, problem, change, and knowledge-management processes. 
  • Use ServiceNow and approved operational tools to document work, track incidents and requests, maintain asset and configuration information, and communicate status. 
  • Analyze recurring incidents and service-health data to identify root causes, technical debt, automation opportunities, and improvements to standards or support models. 
  • Create and maintain runbooks, knowledge articles, technical procedures, diagrams, support models, and operational handoff materials. 
  • Participate in service reviews, operational reporting, vendor governance, cost management, and continuous-improvement activities. 
  • Recommend changes that improve reliability, user experience, security, supportability, and total cost of ownership. 
• Project Delivery and Partner Management 
  • Participate in collaboration technology projects, site deployments, office moves, renovations, M&A integrations, and other initiatives affecting meeting spaces or digital signage. 
  • Translate business requirements into technical designs, implementation plans, estimates, test plans, and supportable solutions. 
  • Manage or coordinate installation partners and managed service providers, including scope validation, scheduling, quality checks, issue resolution, and acceptance. 
  • Evaluate hardware, software, service, and vendor options based on business need, enterprise standards, security, lifecycle, supportability, and cost. 
  • Communicate risks, dependencies, decisions, timelines, and technical tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
