This role works directly with customers and partners and closely with territory Account Managers to uncover needs, shape AV-specific solutions, and support opportunities from early discovery through an implementation-ready project handoff.\nThe right person for this role enjoys combining customer conversations, technical AV knowledge, solution design, and sales support. They are comfortable in front of customers, collaborative with internal teams, detail-oriented in documentation, and motivated to help grow a successful AV business.\nThe territory Account Manager owns the overall account relationship, commercial terms, contract negotiation, and sales forecast. The AV Solutions Specialist leads AV-specific discovery and solution-development activities.\nQualifications\nWorking Across Teams\nClear ownership is how we stay organized, not a reason to say no. When a customer need crosses team lines, start with yes and work it out together. \nWhen anyone needs help that you can give, help them reach a successful outcome, even when the work isn’t yours to own, and tell your manager if it affects your own work. \nAccount Partnership & Discovery\nPartner with High Point Account Managers to identify, develop, and co-sell AV solutions for customers across multiple territories.\nLead discovery conversations, site walks, and solution discussions to understand customer goals, technical needs, budgets, timelines, and desired outcomes. \nHelp customers visualize the right AV solution and clearly explain the value, function, and expected result of the recommended approach. \nOn accounts with an assigned Technical Sales Strategist, who owns the technical conversation, serve as a direct resource to the Technical Sales Strategist and drive the AV technical conversation when engaged, avoiding duplicated discovery, documentation, or solution presentations. \nSolution Development & Documentation\nUse internal tools, manufacturer resources, and industry knowledge to develop or coordinate AV solution concepts, budgetary estimates, documentation, and implementation-ready handoff materials in partnership with AV engineering and the territory Account Manager. \nCreate or coordinate customer-facing and implementation-facing materials such as solution visualization diagrams, preliminary wiring diagrams, specifications, bills of material, pricing inputs, implementation guidance, and product-specific installation notes. \nOwn the accuracy of AV technical designs, statements of work, bills of material, and labor estimates. Presales Engineering owns these for all other solution types. \nDevelop solutions within HPN-approved technical standards and reference designs. \nProject Handoff & Implementation Support\nPrepare complete and accurate AV project handoff materials for the Account Manager to include in the full kit handed to implementation, helping implementation teams avoid errors, missed details, return trips, and unnecessary rework. \nRemain available after handoff to clarify documented design intent and original scope. Route project execution, scheduling, field-service, and change-control matters through the assigned Project Manager, Service Desk and Dispatch, or appropriate delivery leader. \nPipeline, Forecasting & Growth\nMaintain current and accurate AV opportunity information, solution status, next steps, estimated value, margin inputs, and forecasting inputs in NetSuite or the company’s designated CRM, in coordination with the territory Account Manager, who owns the sales forecast. \nCollect feedback from customers, sales, service, and implementation teams to improve future AV sales, design, documentation, and delivery processes. \nHelp build and execute plans that grow AV revenue, gross profit, customer adoption, and overall solution quality. \nRole Boundaries\nThis role does not own technician scheduling, project plans, jobsite supervision, field-service dispatch, change-order approval, or delivery-team performance. \nThis role does not replace the Account Manager’s ownership of the customer relationship or Presales Engineering’s ownership of design, SOWs, BOMs, and labor estimates for non-AV solutions. \nTravel\nThis role supports AV solution sales across High Point’s sales organization and may require significant overnight travel for customer meetings, site walks, solution presentations, manufacturer engagement, internal collaboration, and project support.\n\nQualifications\nCommercial audiovisual experience in sales, integration, system design, installation, technical presales, or a related technology field. \nExperience participating in customer discovery, site walks, and technical evaluations. \nExperience creating or reviewing scopes of work, bills of material, diagrams, proposals, estimates, or implementation documentation. \nWorking knowledge of conferencing, collaboration, audio, video, control, displays, cabling, and related AV technologies. \nBasic networking knowledge for modern IP-based AV systems and AV-over-IP environments. \nAbility to communicate AV concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. \nStrong discovery, presentation, documentation, and relationship-building skills. \nAbility to work well with sales, engineering, project management, procurement, service, manufacturers, and implementation teams. \nComfort managing multiple opportunities, priorities, and deadlines across different customers and territories. \nAbility to travel for customer meetings, site walks, solution presentations, manufacturer engagement, and internal collaboration. \nPreferred Qualifications\nAVIXA CTS, CTS-D, or comparable manufacturer certifications. \nExperience with Q-SYS, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Yealink, Neat, AtlasIED, Daktronics, Audio-Technica, or similar commercial AV platforms. \nExperience with public-sector, education, enterprise, healthcare, or commercial purchasing and RFP processes. \nExperience using NetSuite or comparable CRM and quoting tools. \nWhat are Key Measurements?\nAV revenue generated in partnership with territory Account Managers. \nAV gross profit and margin on closed AV opportunities. \nAccuracy of AV bills of material, statements of work, and labor estimates against what is required to deliver. \nCustomers feel confident in the recommended AV solution and understand how it meets their needs. \nAccount Managers see this role as a trusted AV partner who helps them win business and serve customers well. \nImplementation teams receive clear, complete, and accurate information that helps them deliver projects efficiently. \nAV opportunities are developed with realistic scopes, strong margins, and fewer surprises after the sale. \nField feedback is used to improve the way High Point sells, designs, documents, and delivers AV solutions. \nQualified AV pipeline, conversion, proposal turnaround, forecast inputs, handoff completeness, repeat AV business, and scope-related rework are reviewed as indicators of success.\nWhat are Key Rewards?\nIncentive compensation tied to AV revenue and gross profit. \nRecognition for being a trusted AV partner to Account Managers and for growing HPN’s AV business. \nProfessional development through AVIXA and manufacturer certifications and specialized AV training. \nOpportunities to deepen manufacturer relationships and shape HPN’s AV reference designs and handoff standards. \nCareer advancement as opportunities arise. \nWhat are Consequences for Non-Success?\nMissed Targets: failure to meet AV pipeline, revenue, gross profit, or forecast accuracy goals may affect incentive compensation and performance rating. \nReduced Reliance: Account Managers relying less on this role for AV opportunities undermines the purpose of the position. \nSuccess Plans: formal coaching and goal-setting initiated to address gaps, with performance reassessed within a defined window (typically one to two quarters); if performance does not improve within that window, outcomes may include reassignment or role change. \nHandoff and Scope Issues: incomplete or inaccurate AV scopes, estimates, or handoff materials, or scope-related rework, may erode trust with Account Managers and delivery teams and trigger a process review. \nCustomer Confidence Erosion: loss of customer confidence in a recommended AV solution may affect account assignments and reflects on performance rating. \nHigh Point Networks is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8632,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Managed IT Services (MSP)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-03T05:07:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/high-point-networks-av-solutions-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/high-point-networks-av-solutions-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T15:43:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21924,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2279787},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2279787"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhigh-point-networks-av-solutions-specialist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhigh-point-networks-av-solutions-specialist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhigh-point-networks-av-solutions-specialist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/high-point-networks-av-solutions-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhigh-point-networks-av-solutions-specialist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3664288}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"highpointnetworks.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3664288},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
