  • Apply accurate and consistent metadata, tags, and naming conventions to assets based on newly established standards
  • Perform quality control checks to ensure proper ingestion, organization, and accessibility of assets
  • Maintain version control, archival protocols, and deduplication processes throughout the implementation phase
  • Provide feedback on system usability and contribute to training materials for end users

Required Skills & Experience:
