Associate Content Asset Manager

JOB SUMMARY:
An Associate Content Asset Manager supports the creative development process by managing brand, campaign and partner assets. These experts of asset/media management – source assets, production media, completed projects, etc. and ensure handoff is thorough, complete, and correct, organize and store within a centralized system (DAM/server), and, ultimately, share with all marketing channels.

As a member of the Content Asset Management team (CAM), you believe rock-solid process, rigor and cutting-edge tools/technology are critical to making creative operations workflows more streamlined and time- and cost-efficient; you must operate according to, evangelize and constantly improve this CAM way of working.

You must balance left brain logic and analysis, with right brain creativity and intuition. While CAM is not responsible for creating content, we are a critical partner for creative teams. You’ll be expected to actively, and sometimes proactively, engage with and support teams through all phases of creative development – from kickoff to project wrap. Because creative deliverables are deadline driven, CAM must ensure teams have assets when they need them and all asset-related processes and checkpoints are addressed per the overall workback schedule.

In addition to working with colleagues in T-Studios, you will build relationships across the *** enterprise, as well as with the external agencies and partners that support key marketing objectives and video/photo productions. This role engages with people of varied titles/roles and teams that focus on different creative outputs – from those that create television commercials to teams that are responsible for internal employee communications – so anticipate variety in what you work on day-to-day.
