  • Strong technical troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently.
  • Meticulous organization and attention to detail.
  • Ability to train and support junior team members.
  • Clear, proactive communication and strong cross-functional collaboration.
  • Experience with LucidLink, Suite Studios, Frame.io, Dropbox, or similar cloud-based media platforms is a plus.
  • Experience with DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, or FFMPEG is a plus.
