- Confirm file specifications (dimensions, format, file size) match channel requirements.
- Cross-check asset versions across channels for consistency.
Flag discrepancies and escalates to senior team members for review.

Reporting & Documentation

Provide weekly status updates that summarize creative deliveries, outstanding approvals, project risks, and operational blockers.
Maintain accurate documentation of file paths, tracker updates, and campaign timelines throughout the project lifecycle.
Keep shared team drive folders organized and up to date, ensuring files/folders are accessible and easy for partners to navigate.
Maintain and refresh templates (e.g., agendas, intake forms, tracker views) to support team workflows.
Help collect baseline inputs for post‑launch retrospectives (e.g., “what slipped,” “missing copy,” “timing conflicts”).
Ensure consistency across documentation, file organization, naming conventions, and operational processes.
