• Experience managing outsource vendors across regions and time zones.

• Define and enforce technical delivery standards (naming conventions, poly and texture budgets, rig and animation specs) so assets land in Unity without rework.
• Manage Publisher art approvals for outsourced work, packaging submissions and tracking feedback through to sign-off.
• Build and maintain vendor relationships across time zones, tracking quality, cost, and throughput to know when to scale up, re-bid, or move on.
