Overview
\n
\n
The Technical Project Manager owns the technical onboarding of new clients and networks onto GSL’s XEN platform (XEN CMS, XEN Media, and XEN NOC) and manages the ongoing delivery of platform projects for the digital signage and Digital Out of Home (DOOH) industries. This is a hands-on role: you will run client migrations from legacy content management systems, configure players, networks, inventory, and scheduling in XEN, coordinate directly with our software vendors and engineering partners, and be the client’s primary technical point of contact from kickoff through hand-off to our NOC and support teams.
\n
You will coordinate between internal business units, external vendors, and clients to define scopes of work and project timelines, and to align business requests and requirements against technical specifications. You will own the end-to-end project lifecycle, act as the client-facing liaison when scoping platform feature changes or requests, and create the documentation and training our NOC and support staff rely on once an implementation has gone live.
\n
\n
This role typically carries three or more concurrent client onboardings and platform projects at once, each with its own stakeholders, vendors, and timeline. Strong organization, disciplined follow-through, and clear written communication are essential.
\n
\n
As the role is a front-line interface for our organization with clients, a strong history of creating positive and productive interactions with customers is required. Previous experience in digital signage, content management systems, Out of Home media, or the A/V industry is a strong plus.

Duties and Responsibilities
\n
\n
Client Onboarding & Migration
\n
\n
• Own the technical onboarding of new clients and networks onto XEN CMS, XEN Media, and XEN NOC, from kickoff through go-live and hand-off to support
\n
• Plan and execute migrations from third-party or legacy CMS platforms (e.g., Broadsign, Scala, or in-house systems) to XEN, including player conversion, playlist and layout recreation, and cutover scheduling that minimizes on-screen disruption
\n
• Gather and validate client network data: screen inventory, locations, sell sheets, spec sheets, resolutions, dayparts, and loop structures, and load it into the platform accurately using bulk import tools
\n
• Configure and validate media players, network connectivity, content distribution, and monitoring so screens report correctly into XEN NOC before go-live
\n
• Set up campaigns, creatives, and creative scheduling in XEN Media and the CMS, and train client teams (sales, ad ops, traffic) to manage their own inventory, proposals, and campaign scheduling going forward
\n
• Establish proof-of-play, compliance reporting, and programmatic connections (SSP integrations) as part of onboarding where applicable
\n
• Run structured client kickoffs, weekly status cadences, and go-live checklists, with accurate notes, action items, and owners captured and distributed after every session
\n
\n
Project & Platform Delivery
\n
\n
• Manage the end-to-end project lifecycle of our technology platform offerings
\n
• Create project timelines and ensure commitments against timelines are met; escalate risks early with options rather than after the fact
\n
• Create and/or manage SOWs, user workflows, design guidance, and ensure commitments against functionality deliverables are met
\n
• Coordinate, collaborate, and lead between stakeholders, including internal business units, clients, and vendors
\n
• Act as one of the primary points of contact with clients and hold cadence updates on ongoing progress
\n
• Translate client feature requests and pain points into clear, prioritized requirements for engineering and vendor teams; track them through delivery and confirm outcomes with the client
\n
• Manage day-to-day relationships with platform and development vendors: log defects and feature requests, track SLAs and open tickets, hold vendors to committed dates, and drive workarounds when vendor delivery slips
\n
• Contribute to future product ideas, R&D, and feedback over the course of learnings with our clients and opportunities
\n
• Identify areas of improvement and any risks involved from a competitive, legal, and technical nature
\n
\n
Documentation, Training & Support Transition
\n
\n
• Create documentation, runbooks, and training for our NOC and support teams to take over support post-go-live, including client-specific configurations, escalation paths, and known issues
\n
• Maintain onboarding templates, checklists, and standard operating procedures so each new client onboarding is faster and more consistent than the last
\n
• Assist in training for our customers
\n
• May be required to work outside of business hours to coordinate with vendors and clients located outside of the United States (e.g., UK, Europe, and Asia time zones)
\n
\n
