• Provide essential video production and broadcasting support for large-scale events and meetings.
• Contribute to the evolution and refinement of the overall visual communications strategy, identifying new opportunities and best practices.
• Project manage content development from inception to final delivery and measurement, providing regular status updates to leadership.
• Collaborate closely with creative leads across various organizational units to uphold brand standards and ensure alignment.
• Analyze feedback from business stakeholders and adapt design strategies as appropriate to maximize impact.
