This is 100% remote for candidates currently residing in the United States or Canada.

• Manage metadata standards and data input across platforms and databases to ensure discoverability, consistency, and compliance with partner requirements.
• Collaborate with producers and editors to ensure accurate metadata tagging, internal management, and asset distribution.

Syndication & Distribution

• Manage the packaging, export, and delivery of video episodes and vertical short videos to internal programming teams and syndication partners.
• Maintain delivery schedules and ensure timely distribution to platforms, such as YouTube, and third-party partners.
• Coordinate with external vendors and internal stakeholders to troubleshoot and resolve delivery or encoding issues.
• Partner with Design Teams and develop media assets for distribution requirements, such as video thumbnails and transcriptions.

Workflow & Tools Optimization

• Help define and refine media management and delivery workflows across multiple show teams.
• Implement best practices for file naming, version control, and archival systems.
• Stay up to date with changes to platform specs, syndication policies, and emerging video delivery standards.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Liaise with editorial, product, engineering, legal, and partnerships teams to ensure smooth operations across all video podcast projects.
• Partner with internal Programming Teams to locate, organize, and share daily video assets to proper stakeholders.

Requirements

• 4–6+ years of experience in video operations, media asset management, or content distribution—preferably in a podcast, sports, or digital media environment.
• Deep understanding of media formats, transcoding, video specs, and metadata schemas.
• Experience managing syndication to platforms like YouTube, Acast, Aspera, and social media platforms.
• Experience with managing global database recording, such as Gracenotes, and continuous organization and information input.
• Familiarity with content management systems (CMS), digital asset management (DAM) tools, and project management platforms (e.g., Airtable, LucidLink, etc.).
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with a proactive and collaborative approach to problem-solving.
• Experience in Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Photoshop and Premiere Pro, is a plus.
• Passion for sports and digital storytelling is a plus.
