- Support governance, standards, and asset lifecycle management by reinforcing global DAM processes, metadata standards, taxonomy practices, product photography standards, documentation, audits, archival support, data quality checks, and ongoing repository maintenance in alignment with the Global Digital Asset Services Supervisor.
- Track and analyze operational metrics, stakeholder feedback, and workflow data using Workfront, Power BI, and Excel to support service performance reporting, informed decision-making, workload visibility, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Support Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)-based digital asset management and production workflows by ensuring assets are complete, compliant, searchable, correctly linked to PIM systems, and aligned with Workfront workflows for efficient storage, publishing, and downstream use.
