You will drive MAM/DAM governance, define metadata taxonomies, and implement cloud-based sharing for distributed teams while maintaining strict archival policies. A senior-level, on-site role with focus on efficiency and reliability across Marketing, eCommerce, and Paid Media.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in video post-production and 3+ years supervising editors.
• Advanced mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro and practical working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve color workflows on high-resolution camera files.
• Demonstrated experience creating proxy-based pipelines and remote-desktop workflows for distributed teams.
• Strong command of professional camera formats (e.g., "R3D, N-RAW, HEVC"), transcoding pipelines, and checksum verification tools.
• Hands-on experience implementing or administering a MAM/DAM platform, including metadata taxonomy and search tagging.
• Solid working knowledge of shared storage architectures, media networking, and tiered archiving strategies.
• Experience directing freelance editors and third-party or offshore post-production partners.
• Bachelor’s degree in Film, Media, Video Production, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Own the camera-to-edit workflow across all content verticals, encompassing offloading, proxy generation, review cycles, and final delivery.
• Establish and maintain standard operating procedures for both high-performance on-site and secure remote-desktop editing setups.
• Troubleshoot playback, format, and software issues directly, reducing IT dependency and eliminating missed project deadlines.
• Manage, mentor, and hire internal editing staff while balancing project bandwidth against production goals.
• Direct relationships with freelance editors and offshore post vendors, overseeing contracts, schedules, and quality assurance.
• Replace physical hard-drive handoffs with automated, same-day cloud proxy sharing for all remote collaborators.
• Lead the evaluation, procurement, and deployment of the content team’s MAM system and support enterprise DAM integration.
• Define metadata schemas, folder hierarchies, version control standards, and AI-assisted tagging to make media instantly searchable.
• Enforce archival policies across local shared storage, cloud repositories, and long-term tape/cold storage tiers.
• Partner with cross-functional leadership to align media technology with business volume.
• Partner with IT on network throughput, NAS/SAN shared storage, workstation configurations, and media security.
• Audit post-production workflows and storage demands to build a prioritized technical roadmap with clear cost and capacity projections.
• Track and report key metrics - including turnaround times, workflow interruptions, and throughput to the Head of Content.
