• Work with external creative agencies to direct the development of high-impact visual content—such as photos, sell sheets, and catalog materials—ensuring brand and product alignment.
• Coordinate with Project Management to track deliverables and timelines; provide clear updates and escalate risks as needed.

• Strong storytelling skills — able to turn technical product details into clear, engaging messaging.
• Experience working with engineering, product, and channel teams to deeply understand products and bring them to market.
• Comfortable working with creative agencies to develop print and visual assets like sell sheets, catalogs, and photography.
