You are a skilled communicator who can actively listen, feels confident asking questions to identify potential gaps and creates documentation and workbooks that outline things such as project deliverables, status reports, timelines and priorities while complying with the ASU brand and marketing guide in order to deliver "best-in-class" video projects. The manager will translate complex business requirements into actionable deliverables that can be understood by technical and non-technical team members.

The candidate should be a respectful communicator and a flexible and adaptable team player who is detail-oriented and thrives when working in a fast-paced and constantly changing deadline-driven environment.
