If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We're hiring a Manager, Media Productions to own the technical production for internal company-wide events at Harvey — all-hands, exec broadcasts, town halls, leadership offsites, and the A/V experience inside our offices. You'll set the standard for how Harvey shows up to its own employees: production quality livestreams, sharp run-of-show, and conference-room AV that just works in every office, on every floor, every time. This role sits inside the Business Technology (BizTech) org and partners daily with Internal Communications, Workplace, and our executives and their staff.

The ideal candidate has run live production at a high-growth tech company or broadcast environment, treats A/V reliability as a product, and has the calm operational instincts to make complex live events feel effortless to executives and audiences alike.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own end-to-end technical production for Harvey's all-hands, exec broadcasts, town halls, and internal leadership events — from pre-production planning through live execution and post-event capture.
  • Build and run the playbooks: run-of-show, rehearsal cadence, presenter prep, backup paths, and incident response so live events are predictable, not heroic.
  • Define and maintain Harvey's conference-room and event-space AV standards across our global office footprint — designing reference setups that scale with each new buildout.
  • Run the livestream and broadcast stack end-to-end: cameras, switchers, encoders, audio, captioning, and the platforms we distribute through (Zoom, Slack, internal channels).
  • Partner with Internal Communications on cadence, content flow, and exec speaker prep, and with Brand & Creative on graphics, motion packages, lower-thirds, and on-screen identity.
  • Manage external production vendors, freelance crews, and AV integrators — scoping work, negotiating rates, and holding them to Harvey's quality bar.
  • Lead AV readiness for new office openings in lockstep with Workplace, IT/Network, and Real Estate.
  • Capture, edit, and archive event footage for internal reuse (recap reels, onboarding content, leadership clips), and own the studio kit and gear inventory across offices.
  • Operate as the on-call escalation point for A/V incidents during high-stakes events and as the BizTech subject-matter expert on media production technology decisions.

WHAT YOU HAVE

  • Minimum 6 years of experience in live event production, broadcast operations, corporate A/V, or a closely related field, including hands-on technical roles before moving into program ownership.
  • Experience commissioning A/V in new office buildouts alongside architects, GCs, and low-voltage integrators.
  • Demonstrated ownership of recurring high-visibility live events (all-hands, keynotes, customer summits, broadcasts) at a company or production house operating at meaningful scale.
  • Deep working knowledge of the production stack: video switchers (e.g., ATEM, Tricaster), encoders (e.g., NDI, SRT), wireless and wired audio, lighting fundamentals, and livestream platforms.
  • Practical experience designing or operating conference-room and event-space AV — DSPs, ceiling mics, video bars, room control systems, and Zoom Rooms / Google Meet integrations.
  • Track record of managing external production vendors and freelance crews, including scoping SOWs, holding QA standards, and running post-event reviews.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, especially with non-technical teams and executive stakeholders.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth, and global environment.

BONUS POINTS

  • Experience standing up an in-house production capability from scratch at a hyper-growth technology company.
  • Background supporting executive communications or working directly with C-suite and IR teams on broadcast-quality leadership content.
  • Familiarity with editing and post workflows and motion/graphics handoff with brand teams.
  • Comfort with media asset management systems and content archival best practices.
