Job summary

HexClad is seeking a Digital Asset Manager to own and scale our digital asset ecosystem. You will manage metadata tagging, taxonomy, and asset organization across photography, imagery, video, and lifestyle assets for global teams.

You’ll own the build-out of our PIM and ensure assets are accessible, accurately described, and easily discoverable, including for international operations. This role requires strong attention to detail and collaboration across Creative, eCommerce, and Marketing teams.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years in digital asset management or related field.
• Hands-on experience organizing a DAM platform; Canto preferred, others also considered.
• Comfort with metadata-heavy environments and maintaining field values at scale.
• Solid understanding of image file types, aspect ratios, and lifecycle.
• Attention to detail and adherence to naming conventions and taxonomy.
• Ability to manage an upload and tagging queue and surface blockers early.
• Experience with CSV-based bulk metadata workflows.
• Familiarity with PIM systems supporting product content and commerce.
• Exposure to e‑commerce or consumer brand creative operations.
• Comfort using AI tools for metadata suggestions and MCP integrations.

Responsibilities

• DAM Ownership: Serve as the sole owner of HexClad’s Canto DAM library — managing metadata tagging, taxonomy, naming conventions, and asset organization at scale.
• Metadata & Taxonomy Management: Apply, audit, maintain field values across the full library; enforce controlled vocabulary, surface gaps proactively, and prevent taxonomy drift.
• Asset Ingestion & Lifecycle: Own the upload intake process from receipt through archive; ensure new assets enter the library correctly, promptly, and fully tagged.
• PIM Build-Out & Maintenance: Own the setup and ongoing maintenance of HexClad’s PIM system, populating and validating product data to support eCommerce, content, and international operations.
• Discoverability & Accessibility: Build and improve systems that surface the right content to the right teams — including international — reducing dependency on manual Slack-based asset sharing.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with Creative, eCommerce, Marketing, and international teams to understand asset needs and build processes that serve them reliably; partner with in-house counsel on digital rights management to ensure usage rights are accurately documented, enforced, and reflected in the DAM at the asset level.
• AI-Assisted Workflows: Leverage AI tools for metadata suggestions, content description, and platform integrations — including MCP-based connections — to drive efficiency and accuracy at scale.
