Junior Technical Media Manager

Ambassadors is looking for a full-time Junior Technical Media Manager to join our creative team in Amsterdam.

About the role

As a Junior Technical Media Manager at Ambassadors, you’re responsible for the organisation, quality control (QC), and delivery of any asset that is used or created during a project. Together with the Media Manager, you are the oil that makes sure the Ambassadors engine runs smoothly.

You will take ownership of a project when it’s time to and send it out to partners and platforms, ensuring each delivery has the correct specifications and adheres to all brand guidelines, titles and end-cards.

To get this done, you’ll work closely with the producers and artists of a project, with guidance from the Technical Media Manager. It’s your responsibility to deliver to various platforms and partners accurately and on time, as well as constantly testing out efficiencies in the processes to ensure accuracy every time, no matter the number of deliverables.

Responsibilities

As a Junior Technical Media Manager you will be responsible for:

• Deducting an overview of all different specs from the client’s delivery documentations
• Scheduling and setting deadlines for when the delivery process needs to start
• Performing content and technical QC before delivery, communicating any technical issues
• Delivering media to the appropriate platforms and notifying the client when delivery is completed
• Collaborating with the production team to clean up the project so it can be archived
• Archiving project media and data
• Managing and monitoring data consumption on production servers
• Creative Automation:
  • Setting up creative automation jobs
  • QC-ing creative automation output
  • Processing client feedback

About you

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has the ambition to grow into one of the various creative/technology positions within our creative production studio (this role is where our Head of IT, Head of Edit and Head of Flame all started out!)
• Ideally has relevant studies or work experience
• Is broadly curious about creative technology, VFX and creative advertising
• Has a basic understanding of media types, files, channels and specifications, but we’ll teach you the rest
• Loves processes and can keep a tight structure
• Has a keen eye for detail… some would even say neat-freak
• Gets energy from working in a creative, fast-paced environment
• Won’t get scared off by managing multiple projects with hundreds of deliveries, seeking assistance when required
• Can communicate technical issues in layman’s terms when liaising with clients and other non-technical colleagues
• Is proficient with Google Docs and Excel spreadsheets
• Enjoys taking on challenges by finding efficiencies to meet delivery deadlines
