We’re looking for an engineering-minded people-person (oxymoron? We hope not!) to join the Swoogo Virtual team as our Virtual Event Technologist. 


The VET will work with the Director of Swoogo Virtual to support the Customer Success, Sales, and Strategic Account teams in guiding customers and prospects through virtual event set-up and best practices.


The Technologist should be fanatically committed to the customer experience and ready to employ their deep knowledge of the event tech landscape and the most popular streaming and conferencing tools to act as the guru* our customers go-to for all questions virtual. 


This role is best suited to someone who can slip into different kinds of roles and conversations as easily as Johnny Depp, who’s as likable as Jennifer Aniston, who embodies the trustworthiness of Tom Hanks. Sound like we’re looking for someone special? Bet your butt we are. 

*no crystals or essential oils required
 
The Day-to-Day:
  • Consult with customers and prospects about how best to set up their virtual and hybrid events based on their specific needs

  • Product development or product marketing experience 
  • Experience working directly with customers, customer success experience preferred
  • A self-starter who’s comfortable wearing a lot of hats and working from home/remotely full-time

The Nice To Haves:
