Support asset repository governance by ensuring marketing assets are appropriately organized, tagged, tracked, and maintained with accurate metadata and clear final-version identification. - Implement and maintain departmental workflows, SOPs, operational documentation, and production standards established by the Director to ensure consistency and scalability across global Marketing Versioning Operations. - Evaluate production and asset workflows and recommend improvements that increase efficiency, traceability, asset discoverability, and ease of use for central and regional marketing teams. - Provide operational reporting and project visibility to support departmental planning, production prioritization, capacity management, and identification of delivery risks. - Partner across Creative Services, Brand Marketing, Campaign Marketing, regional Marketing teams, Media Management, Production, and other cross-functional teams to maintain alignment on asset requirements, timelines, readiness, and deliverables. -
