About the Job

Requirements

  • Have 3–5 years of experience in digital asset management, media operations, or a related field.
  • Have hands-on experience administering a digital asset management platform; Brandfolder experience is strongly preferred, and Bynder, Widen, or Adobe AEM are also considered.
  • Understand metadata structures, custom fields, and taxonomy design at scale, including bulk or CSV-based metadata management.
  • Be familiar with photo and video production formats (RAW, ProRes, PSD, and layered files), print production files, and digital design assets such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
  • Have experience with product information management platforms such as Akeneo, Salsify, inRiver, or Plytix, and connecting product data to asset libraries.
  • Have exposure to AI-driven or automated tagging and metadata generation, and understand how machine-generated tags integrate with human-curated taxonomy.
  • Be familiar with facial recognition and people-tagging in a DAM/MAM context, including relevant privacy and compliance considerations.
  • Be comfortable managing multilingual asset metadata and bulk translation workflows.
  • Have experience with Adobe Creative Cloud integrations, such as CI Hub or similar; this is a strong plus.
  • Have experience working within a production tracker or project management tool such as Smartsheet, Jira, Asana, or Monday.

Responsibilities

  • Administer and maintain the digital asset management platform, including folder architecture, taxonomy, metadata schemas, custom fields, user permissions, and SSO/SAML configuration.
  • Own asset ingestion workflows for photography, video, motion, documents, print collateral, and digital design files from in-house shoots, hired photographers, design teams, and other company stakeholders.
  • Maintain version history and check-in/check-out discipline so in-progress assets remain traceable and current assets remain authoritative.
  • Audit the library regularly using built-in duplicate detection, and flag and resolve redundant uploads.
  • Manage asset licensing, usage rights, model and talent releases, and expiration dates, flagging renewals or takedowns as needed.
  • Develop and enforce naming conventions, tagging standards, and custom-field taxonomy that scale across departments, including marketing, commercial, PR, experiential, accessories, and digital teams.
  • Configure and manage bulk metadata conversions that generate tags and custom fields from embedded file metadata, reducing manual tagging work.
  • Lead integration between the digital asset management and product information management systems, keeping product data, specifications, and approved imagery synchronized across channels.
  • Evaluate and manage facial and people-recognition tagging to streamline talent tracking, usage-rights enforcement, and searchability of people-based content.
  • Manage multilingual asset details and bulk translations of asset names, descriptions, tags, and custom fields to support content across regions and markets.
  • Manage print and digital templating through the DAM template editor, PrintUI, and InDesign ingestion, enabling non-designers to generate on-brand materials from locked templates.
  • Maintain the CI Hub integration with Adobe Creative Cloud, enabling bidirectional asset synchronization for designers working in Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator.
  • Support print production files, including print-ready PDFs, die lines, and CMYK profiles, alongside standard photo and video formats.
  • Configure custom workflows and approval chains within the digital asset management platform, and connect them to the project management tracker so asset approval status remains visible end to end.
  • Use proofing for review and approval cycles on creative deliverables.
  • Train internal teams, agency partners, and new hires on digital asset management best practices, search and retrieval, and tagging standards.
  • Generate reports on asset usage, library health, tagging accuracy, and adoption metrics for leadership.
  • Collaborate with IT and legal teams on data governance, access security, and retention policies.

Desired Qualifications

  • Have experience building or scaling a digital asset management system from the ground up.
  • Have a background in media production or packaging design workflows.
  • Have experience with computer vision or AI asset-recognition platforms such as Imagga, Clarifai, Google Vision, or Veritone.
  • Be familiar with 360-degree product viewer setups.
  • Have experience in automotive, commercial photography, or brand and marketing environments.

About the Company

Slate Auto

Produces low-cost modular electric pickup trucks

Slate Auto designs and sells affordable, modular electric pickup trucks with a single base model that customers customize over time with removable accessories and upgrades. The core product, the Slate Truck, is a compact battery-powered pickup built around simplicity and low cost, with a base price targeted at $25,000–$28,000. The base model is intentionally stripped of features, allowing buyers to tailor the vehicle to work, personal use, or SUV conversions through modular add-ons. The company aims to simplify manufacturing, reduce upfront costs, and offer a “blank slate” vehicle that can evolve after purchase. Production is planned in the Midwest, with capacity up to 150,000 vehicles annually and first deliveries targeted for 2026. Slate Auto differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on cost reduction, a modular, customizable design, and a direct-to-consumer approach instead of competing on premium features or performance.
