Senior IT VIP Support Specialist

This role is a cornerstone of our Global VIP Support function, responsible for proactive, high-touch (“white-glove”) technology support for our most senior leaders and their Executive Assistants (EAs).

As the West Coast VIP Support Ambassador, you are the single-threaded owner for executive technology needs in the US Pacific time zone, partnering closely with our NYC (US/Eastern) and Dublin (EMEA) VIP specialists to deliver near 24×5 global coverage.

You will blend senior-level IT support with strong AV and collaboration expertise to protect the most critical executive workflows and events. You will also play a key role in developing and delivering IT training for the EA community, and partnering with Internal Comms and AV on All Hands support. This role requires excellent judgment, calm under pressure, empathy, and the ability to drive complex issues to resolution while maintaining executive trust.
