Global​/US DAM Librarian

Company description

Within Publicis Groupe’s Intelligent Creativity business, we specialize in bringing creative ideas to life, and to consumers. By combining 100 years of craft excellence with 6,000 experts across 52 locations of the world’s biggest studio network, we leverage the industry’s richest data, through the power of agentic AI, to radically redefine content production with Intelligent Content. We intuitively deliver this through Marcel Make, the world’s first Intelligent Content agent.

The result? Predictively performing content that unlocks business growth in unprecedented ways. No more guesswork. No more waste. Just content that works, working a lot harder.

We are seeking a Lead Digital Asset Librarian to own, evolve, and optimize our Digital Asset Management (DAM) ecosystem. While experience with Tenovos is a plus, this role is open to candidates with strong expertise across enterprise DAM platforms.

This is not a traditional librarian role. You will be responsible for defining what best‑in‑class DAM looks like within a complex, global production environment:
Assessing current workflows, identifying gaps, and driving forward a more scalable, efficient, and future‑ready operating model.

You will lead the organization, governance, and lifecycle management of all final TV, video, and digital master assets, while embedding DAM into end‑to‑end production and marketing workflows. Your work will directly impact speed‑to‑market, asset reuse, operational efficiency, and brand consistency.

This role requires a strategic, systems‑oriented leader who can balance hands‑on platform expertise with team leadership, cross‑functional collaboration, and continuous improvement. You will partner closely with marketing, creative, production, technology, media, and data teams, as well as external agencies, and oversee offshore resources supporting day‑to‑day DAM operations.

• Serve as the primary owner and subject matter expert for the DAM platform (Tenovos or equivalent), defining platform strategy, taxonomy, and governance frameworks
• Evaluate current DAM architecture and workflows, identifying opportunities to improve scalability, usability, and efficiency
• Establish and enforce global standards for metadata, taxonomy, and asset lifecycle management (versioning, rights, archiving, expiration)
• Define and implement what “good” looks like for DAM within this organization, including future‑state operating models
• Manage user roles, permissions, and access controls to ensure compliance and security

• Embed DAM into end‑to‑end creative and production workflows, ensuring seamless asset flow from creation through distribution
• Drive best practices that improve production speed, asset tracking, and activation readiness
• Connect DAM structure to broader production and marketing goals, enabling more efficient content creation and reuse at scale
• Partner with stakeholders to streamline workflows and reduce friction across teams and regions

• Act as a key partner to technology, product, and data teams, ensuring DAM integrates effectively into the broader ecosystem
• Collaborate with Product/Platform teams and data leads to align DAM capabilities with reporting, analytics, and business needs
• Support and enhance integrations with tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud, CMS, PIM, and other marketing systems
• Identify opportunities for automation and improved data capture across the asset lifecycle

• Lead and manage offshore DAM resources responsible for ingestion, tagging, QA, and library maintenance
• Define workflows, SLAs, and quality standards to ensure consistency and accuracy
• Provide training, documentation, and ongoing feedback to drive performance and continuous improvement
• Act as the bridge between onshore stakeholders and offshore teams

• Oversee asset cataloging, tagging, and metadata governance to ensure a high‑quality, searchable library
• Design and evolve metadata schemas, taxonomies, and controlled vocabularies aligned to business and campaign…
