  • Track design deliverables through Jira, Shotgun/ShotGrid, and other tools, using data to inform progress reports and decision-making.
  • Regularly provide executive summaries and production reports on design progress to leadership.
  • Mentor and support producers embedded within Design, fostering their professional growth.
