• Receive and process deliveries from internal teams and external vendors via tools such as Aspera and Signiant Media Shuttle, confirming completeness and correct labeling.
• Apply accurate technical and descriptive metadata (security policies, codecs, frame rates, audio configurations, content details) conforming to controlled vocabularies; support accuracy of rights and restriction metadata (embargo, usage rights, expiration fields) as directed.
• Perform post‑ingest quality control on video, image, audio, and paperwork elements to confirm distribution standards and specifications are met; flag or escalate issues.
• Monitor ingest queues and workflows, troubleshoot failed or stalled ingests, and escalate system issues to DAM Operations and Enterprise Technology.

• Participate in testing new ingest workflows, automations, and system upgrades.
• Track ingest requests, priorities, and status in tools such as Smartsheet or Airtable; keep requesters informed.
• Assist internal teams with asset uploads, downloads, file sharing, and metadata corrections.
• Onboard and support internal users and external vendors on delivery requirements.
• Maintain process documentation and recommend improvements for recurring ingest errors or metadata inconsistencies.
