• Operate the OTT content management system (CMS) efficiently to upload, tag, categorize, and publish content.
• Coordinate with tech/engineering to resolve content delivery issues (e.g., transcoding failures, thumbnail errors, playback issues).
• Monitor video metadata accuracy — titles, descriptions, keywords, language, subtitles, and publishing times.
• Collaborate with design teams to ensure high-quality thumbnails, banners, and episode artwork are optimized for engagement.
• Apply A/B testing insights to improve visual assets (thumbnails, banners) and maximize click-through rates.
• Review and approve content for editorial accuracy, format integrity, copyright compliance, and platform suitability.
• Enforce content standards across different formats (e.g., vertical, horizontal, short-form, full-length).
• Work closely with editorial, production, marketing, legal, and analytics teams to support content launches and campaigns.
• Collaborate with social media and audience teams to drive traffic to the OTT platform.
• Identify underperforming and high-performing content and recommend editorial actions.

• Support promotional planning (e.g., featured shows, homepage takeovers, app banners).
• Enforce content standards across different formats (e.g., vertical, horizontal, short-form, full-length).
