• Identify potential delivery risks early and proactively propose solutions to keep projects on track.
• Maintain consistent visual quality and ensure all content aligns with established brand guidelines and creative standards.
• Manage and organise the digital media library, ensuring assets are properly named, categorised, archived, and easily accessible.
• Collaborate with junior photographers, videographers, freelancers, and other creative resources to maintain quality and production efficiency.
