• Communicate complex AI strategies, technical possibilities, and limitations clearly to non-technical stakeholders,  executives, and clients.
• Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, prompt libraries, workflow schematics, and code repositories to ensure business continuity and asset control.
• Develop training materials and lead company-wide workshops to upskill editors, animators, producers, and account teams on AI capabilities and studio software.
• Stay ahead of emerging AI research, post-production tech, and industry trends to advocate for forward-thinking tools and methodologies across the business.
