  • Ensure proper licensing, attribution, and documentation for stock imagery, b-roll, music, and other third-party assets, including documentation of the government s perpetual usage rights.
  • Provide team assistance for livestreaming of press events as needed.
  • Catalog, organize, and store multimedia and graphic assets in a searchable and retrievable format for government public affairs staff, supporting both current and future content needs.
  • Collaborate effectively with multi-disciplinary teams, including content strategists, writers, marketers, and government stakeholders, to support integrated communication campaigns.
