- Resource Strategy: Plan and manage rendering resources, storage needs, and software usage. Make decisions about how to allocate technical resources effectively.
- Vendor Quality Control: Oversee lighting and lookdev work from external partners. Set clear expectations, provide feedback, and ensure the work meets our standards.
