The Assets Workflow contributes to the overall design, operation and improvement of the facility pipeline. This includes engaging in cross-department communication, requirements gathering, flagging inefficiencies and providing solutions to critical production issues, as well as leading the adoption and advocacy of new processes and technologies through training and documentation.

- Act as an additional point of support for shot based issues, alongside leads and supervisors
- Communicate successes and challenges faced by the departments to the Digital Workflow team
- Actively triage production technical issues and communicate with IT, Development or 3rd Party Vendors as required

- Ability to effectively troubleshoot while dealing with competing priorities and projects
