Technical Digital Asset Manager | Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in digital asset management, post-production supervision, or technical operations within a high-volume media, broadcast, or entertainment company.
  • Deep technical understanding of motion and video file formats, codecs, and project dependencies.
  • Expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud (specifically After Effects and Premiere Pro) and familiarity with 3D pipelines (e.g., Cinema 4D).
  • Experience managing assets across enterprise DAMs, SAN/NAS high-performance storage, and cloud review tools like Frame.io.
  • Strong understanding of data lifecycles (hot, warm, cold storage) and enterprise security protocols.

Technical Digital Asset Manager | Description:

  • Pipeline Management: Oversee the organization and storage of active "hot" motion projects, ensuring animators and editors are utilizing high speed storage correctly and not bottlenecking local or cloud sync drives.
  • Asset Dependency & Packaging: Manage the complex linking of source files (footage, vectors, audio). Execute project packaging (e.g., After Effects "Collect Files") to ensure projects can be safely archived and recalled years later without broken links.
  • Archiving & Taxonomy: Lead the migration of wrapped motion projects into cold storage. Apply rigorous metadata tagging to source files, renders, and project files so they can be easily searched and retrieved.
  • Vendor & Handoff Coordination: Facilitate the secure transfer of massive source files and ProRes masters between internal teams and external post-production vendors.
  • System Governance: Monitor storage capacities, render caches, and scratch disks. Act as the primary technical liaison between the motion design team and our IT/infrastructure partners to troubleshoot server-side performance issues.
  • Workflow Development & Optimization: Continuously evaluate and improve existing workflows, identifying efficiencies and ideating enhancements to our asset management processes as you become familiar with how everything functions.
