Sr. Technical Support Specialist, Executive Support & Conferencing Gartner 56,000 USD

• 78,000 USD dental insurance, parental leave, tuition reimbursement, 401(k) United States, Florida, Fort Myers May 11, 2026 About this role: We are looking for a Sr.

Technical Support Specialist who views IT through the lens of customer service and associate experience. You aren't just fixing laptops; you are responsible for frictionless workplace and productivity for our 12 C-Suite officers and 150 global VIPs. Your goal is to eliminate friction before it reaches the executive's desk. You are a creative problem solver who navigates the complexities of a global enterprise to deliver a seamless, "always-on" experience.

What you will do:

Executive Support:

Serve as the dedicated point of contact for the C-Suite. You provide immediate, high-touch resolution for all hardware (Mac/PC), mobile (iOS/Android), and software needs.

Friction Reduction:

Analyze recurring executive pain points and work across the IT organization to implement permanent, creative fixes that simplify the user interface.

Proactive Support:

Conduct daily "sweeps" of executive offices and conference rooms to ensure all systems (AV, connectivity, peripherals) are 100% operational before the business day begins. Take full ownership and resolve escalated support tickets including tasks, incidents and project tickets, providing advanced troubleshooting skills and utilizing available resources, ensuring timely follow-through and resolution. Accurately assign, document, communicate, resolve, or escalate tickets as appropriate, adhering to established standards, processes and metrics. Consistently provide friendly, empathetic, and professional support to all associates. Strive to exceed associate expectations by actively listening, addressing concerns promptly, and following up to ensure satisfaction. Build trust and rapport with associates through each interaction.

Strategic Liaison:

Partner with IT and Event Management to lead technical execution for high-profile Meetings and Board Meetings.

Zero-Failure Execution:

Monitor high-stakes executive meetings in real-time, providing an "invisible" presence to resolve audio, visual, or connectivity issues Travel to Gartner Conferences and Events to provide exceptional support to our associates.

Collect Requirements:

Act as a consultative partner to executive assistants and event planners. You must go beyond a "list of equipment" to understand the intent of the meeting-be it a high-stakes board vote, a global town hall, or a confidential strategy session-and tailor the solution accordingly.

Technology Selection & Design:

Curate the optimal stack for each event. Whether it's selecting the right high-gain microphones, ensuring redundant connectivity uplinks, or choosing between Zoom/Teams/Webex/Vimeo platforms, you ensure the tools match the gravity of the occasion.

Rigorous Staging & Stress Testing:

Establish a "T-Minus" protocol. You will lead "Pilot Tests" 48 hours prior and "Live Staging" 24 hours prior. This includes testing every cable, checking "dead zones" in wireless coverage, and verifying that the CEO's specific peripherals are synced and charged.

Pre-Flight Dry Runs:

Facilitate "tech rehearsals" with presenters to ensure they are comfortable with the interface, lighting, and audio levels, eliminating "first-minute jitters" caused by unfamiliar technology.

Active Command & Control Monitoring:

During the event, you or your team will maintain a "War Room" posture. You will utilize real-time monitoring dashboards (e.g., bandwidth health, AV signal paths, and platform stability) to identify and remediate potential packet loss or audio clipping before the participants notice.

Incident Management:

Ensure every interaction is documented with precision. Use this data to identify trends and propose policy improvements.

Project Lead:

Act as the technical lead for VIP-focused initiatives, such as implementing new encryption standards or deploying next-gen collaboration tools.

SME Mentorship:

Act as the Subject Matter Expert for the broader Technical Support team, elevating the overall quality of support across the region

White-Glove Asset Lifecycle:

Manage the procurement, imaging, and deployment of VIP assets. No device should ever reach an executive without being fully "personality-mapped" to their specific workflow.

Remote Office & Residential Visits:

Travel to remote offices or executive residences as required to provide onsite support and build personal rapport, ensuring their home-office technology is as robust as the corporate HQ.

What you will need:

7+ years in IT support with at least 3 years in a dedicated Executive/VIP support capacity.
