  • Collaborate with designers, editors, and marketing teams to maintain visual and brand consistency.
  • Monitor content performance metrics (completion rate, retention, conversion) and recommend improvements.
  • Project Execution & Knowledge Management : Manage video production timelines and deliverables across departments.
  • Build and maintain a structured script, footage, and template library.
  • Conduct post-project reviews to summarize learnings and continuously improve workflow efficiency.
