Be responsible for the following:

- Create and maintain Layout Templates tailored to distinct user personas (Brand Managers, Content Producers, Agency Creatives, Translators).
- Manage bulk data operations and schema deployments across environments using Workfront Kick-Starts (XML/CSV templates).
Workflow Modelling & Template Design

- Build collection-based reporting with nested EXISTS queries to extract deeply nested workflow performance data.

Proofing & Approval Architecture
- Design and configure Workfront Proof (ProofHQ) environments with multi-stage Automated Workflow Templates, custom decision routing, and deadlines.
- Configure proofing profiles, custom decision statuses, and proof role permissions aligned with legal, regulatory, and brand validation requirements.
