• Contribute technical input to RFP and RFI responses, including solution descriptions, compliance matrices, and clarifications
• Support definition of service models, SLAs, operational processes, and sales‑to‑delivery handover documentation
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, and assumptions within solution designs, proposing mitigations where appropriate
• Assist with solution costing and commercial assumptions in collaboration with finance and commercial teams
• Support internal governance and approval processes by providing clear, structured technical input
• Stay current with industry trends, technologies, and best practices, sharing insights internally
• Represent NEP Connect professionally in customer meetings, solution workshops, and industry events

• Clear and confident communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to non‑technical audiences
• Structured and analytical approach to solution design and problem‑solving
• Strong collaboration skills, comfortable working in matrixed and cross‑functional teams
• Ability to manage multiple opportunities and priorities concurrently
• Comfortable operating in customer‑facing environments, including presentations and technical workshops

Interests and Background

• Strong experience in broadcast, media, or live production technology environments
• Proven ability to design solutions across contribution, production, and distribution workflows
• Familiarity with technologies including (but not limited to) JPEG 2000, H.264, HEVC, JPEG XS, SRT, NDI, and SMPTE ST 2110
• Solid understanding of IP‑based broadcast systems, cloud platforms, and remote production models
