• Minimum of 5 years’ experience as a MAM administrator, Media Coordinator, Digital Asset Coordinator, or similar digital management positions.
• Experience working with departments spread over multiple locations and interfacing with VFX, SFX, audio, lighting, and other production systems and 3rd party vendors.
• Experience with network storage, asset management workflows, knowledge of security and encryption technologies as well as task tracking software.
• Experience with file transfer systems and tools such as Perforce, Aspera, Signiant, FTP, GoodSync, robocopy, and similar.
• Must have knowledge of various image and movie formats and codecs.

Ideally, you’ll also have:
