About this role

The purpose of the Director, Executive Support and Conferencing Services is to curate a seamless, "invisible" digital experience for Gartner’s C-Level leadership and 150 identified VIPs. You will act as the primary technical advisor to the executive suite, bridging the gap between complex enterprise IT and high-touch service delivery. By shifting the culture from reactive troubleshooting to proactive friction reduction, you ensure technology is a silent enabler rather than a distraction, particularly during high-stakes events like Board meetings and global earnings calls. Ultimately, you are the single point of accountability for the executive technology experience, prioritizing zero-downtime standards across office, home, and travel environments.

Predictive Health Monitoring

  • Utilize Nexthink and other tools to monitor the digital experience of our VIP environment.
  • Correlate endpoint, application, and network signals to identify any friction before it impacts an executive’s workflow.
  • Shift the team’s culture from reactive to proactive.
  • Hunt for systemic friction—slow-loading apps, stuttering video feeds, or degrading battery—and remediate it behind the scenes.
  • When systemic issues arise, partner with Engineering, Security, and Ops to drive permanent architectural improvements that harden the VIP experience.

Lead Specialized Team

  • Navigate a matrixed organization, influencing Infrastructure, Digital Workplace, Security, and App teams to prioritize and tailor solutions that meet VIP specific needs without compromising enterprise standards.
  • Deliver a high touch support model for our ELT and VIPs.
  • Act as the primary technical advisor to the C-Suite.
  • Communicate with poise, translating complex technical hurdles into clear, practical solutions.
  • Direct the planning and execution of all high-stakes meetings.
  • Implement rigorous health checks and "preventative maintenance" schedules for executive home offices, mobile devices, and office setups.
  • Stay ahead of the curve.

Develop and Tune VIP Early Warning System

  • Create custom dashboards and alerts that trigger immediate action from your team the moment a VIP's device performance deviates from the gold standard.

Deliver Executive-Level Reporting

  • Develop and tune a "VIP Early Warning System."
  • Deliver executive-level reporting on the health of the VIP ecosystem, using data to prove that "Zero-Downtime" isn't a goal, but a standard.

What You Will Need

  • Demonstrated ability to act as a primary technical advisor to the C-Suite, translating complex technical hurdles into clear, practical solutions with high professional poise.
  • Advanced technical knowledge across core technologies including M365 suites, enterprise Network infrastructure, and Security protocols to ensure a hardened and secure VIP environment.
  • Proven skill in navigating a matrixed organization to drive alignment across Infrastructure, Digital Workplace, Security, and App teams to meet VIP-specific needs.
  • Ability to develop and tune custom "VIP Early Warning Systems" using dashboards and alerts to maintain a zero-downtime standard.
  • Capability to partner with Engineering and Ops to drive permanent architectural improvements and harden the VIP experience when systemic issues arise.
  • Capacity to stay ahead of the curve by identifying and driving the delivery of new tools and services that enhance executive productivity and immersion.

What You’ll Receive

  • Competitive compensation.
  • Limitless growth and learning opportunities.
  • A collaborative and positive culture.
  • A chance to make an impact.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • 20+ PTO days plus holidays and floating holidays in your first year.
  • Extensive medical, dental insurance and vision plan.
  • 401K with corporate match, immediate vesting.
  • Health-and-wellness-related allowance programs.
  • Parental leave.
  • Tuition reimbursement.
