Sourcing Coordinator Content Operations

The Sourcing Coordinator supports the Content Operations organization by tracking, validating, and documenting source material deliveries from licensors (primarily Japan; also Korea, China). The coordinator keeps assets flowing through Client's pipelines — from ingestion to QC review to producers building localization plans.

This is effectively an asset management + media coordination role, not a creative role. It requires comfort with technical specs, metadata, file types, and cross-functional communication.

• Receive incoming deliveries from licensors and extract download links, metadata, and delivery details.


• Track ingest and progress for materials across all channels:
  
  Theatrical, Simulcast, Home Video, Global Content Distribution, EST


• Validate the completeness of delivery packages using base asset lists.


• Identify and flag missing, incorrect, or incomplete assets.

• Maintain and enforce tech specs for marketing and content materials.


• Work with source materials across multiple regions (Japan/Korea/China).


• Document tech specs, delivery notes, and metadata in Airtable.

• Partner with QC team to ensure materials meet required specs.


• Provide QC with complete asset details; receive localization-impact feedback.


• Pass complete information to local producers, who use sourcing inputs to build localization strategies.
