The Manager, Publishing Technologies is responsible for providing strategic oversight and operational leadership for the publishing technology ecosystem supporting the New York–based Creative Operations and Creative Services teams. This role ensures the stability, scalability, and effectiveness of publishing platforms, systems, and workflows across a complex, multi-brand creative environment.

Operating with a high degree of discretion and independent judgment, the Manager establishes technology standards, evaluates and recommends system enhancements, and governs best practices that enable efficient creative production. This position partners closely with IT, Creative leadership, and Operations to align publishing technology capabilities with business objectives, creative quality, and long-term operational needs.

The Manager serves as a subject-matter leader and escalation point for publishing technologies, providing guidance on system usage, workflow optimization, and emerging tools.

• Serve as a senior resource for digital asset management strategy, including system structure, metadata and taxonomy standards, governance, and cross-brand consistency.
• Partner with IT and Creative leadership to assess technology needs, prioritize initiatives, and recommend investments that support operational efficiency and creative execution.
• Provide leadership oversight for publishing technology training strategies, ensuring teams are prepared to use systems effectively while delegating tactical training delivery as appropriate.
• Act as an escalation point for complex system issues, workflow challenges, and capacity planning, guiding resolution through analysis and collaboration rather than direct execution.
• Monitor and assess emerging publishing and creative technologies, including AI-enabled tools, and provide informed recommendations regarding adoption, risk, and value.
• Define high-level protocols for web photography and digital asset specifications to support brand standards and quality expectations.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure publishing technology initiatives support broader commercial, creative, and operational objectives.
• Support special projects and strategic initiatives as assigned by senior Creative Operations and Creative Services leadership.
