• Ensure all content complies with SEC/FINRA advertising regulations and internal compliance guidelines; collaborate with compliance on script approvals and final reviews before publication; maintain version control and documentation for audit-readiness.
• Utilize proficiency in professional video editing software and AI-powered content tools; manage hosting platforms (YouTube, Vimeo), CMS integrations, and social video best practices.
• Travel as required.
