Long term, we will work to develop and employ efficient working practices ensuring that all externally authored art content meets the high visual quality bar established by the project art direction.

• Asset management: make sure assets are saved, uploaded, tested, named, and tagged accurately
• Own the art asset review process with vendors, ensuring feedback is clearly communicated and understood and relayed in a reliable and timely fashion

What we're looking for

• A creative approach, with forward-looking and agile problem-solving skills. You can look at any problem with a fresh eye and propose innovative solutions
• Someone with strong communication, and an ability to work with colleagues both up and down the management chain
• Prowess in scheduling and presenting timelines both visually and via email and conversation
• Proven experience in building and maintaining scalable outsourcing pipelines, identifying risks and improvements as the process expands.
