• Create, edit, and prepare digital content for AMI programs and events.
• Edit and format presentation slideshows to support program delivery and event production requirements.
• Photograph attendees, programs, and event activities in accordance with applicable approval, privacy, and confidentiality requirements.

• Operate the Sony RM-IP500 camera controller to manage pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras and provide high-quality video coverage of AMI event lessons.
• Manage, operate, and support mobile devices, including iPads, used during programs and events.
• Supervise and oversee production equipment within the AMI environment.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues involving advanced audiovisual and live production systems to minimize event disruptions.
• Interpret audiovisual system line drawings and rack elevation documents to support reliable AMI system operations.
• Provide technical support during testing activities involving AMI equipment.
• Stage equipment and assist with equipment delivery and installation as needed.
• Apply knowledge of audiovisual signal flow, audio gain structure, and audio mixing to maintain system integrity and production quality.
• Maintain the cleanliness, organization, and operational readiness of AMI production spaces, control rooms, and equipment.

End-User and Customer Support

• Provide technical assistance to staff, instructors, and trainees, resolving issues involving laptops, iPads, digital displays, software, and network connectivity.
• Deliver professional, customer-focused support to presenters, instructors, trainees, attendees, and guests, demonstrating strong hospitality and service skills.
