• Ensure and facilitate communication with internal teams and external vendors by maintaining a strong relationship between external and internal art teams.
• Identifying potential problems in the art pipeline, and working with the Leads and teams to prevent them.
• Work with the Art Outsourcing Producers to align on tasks and priorities, and collaborate with internal Leads to understand and communicate the visual goals of the project externally.
