Overview
We’re Kingfisher. You might know us as B&Q, Screwfix, Castorama, Brico Depot or Koçtaş. We’re made up of over 78,000 passionate people, call over 1,300 stores home and operate in 8 countries. That’s right, we’re big, but we have ambitions to become even bigger and even better. We want to become the leading home improvement company and grow the largest community of home improvers in the world. And that’s where you come in.
We are looking for a DAM Manager (Digital Asset Management) to be based in either our Southampton or London Paddington office on a 12 month FTC basis. Our Digital Asset Management (DAM) platform houses all rich media content consumed by digital and print platforms across the group. The DAM Manager will ensure the platform evolves to meet the changing needs of the business and the quality of data is managed and controlled to ensure maximum efficiency of the tool.
Supported by an IT project team on IT delivery and change management and the Head of Content & Creative within the OEB (Own Exclusive Brand) function on business needs, this role will ensure the successful roll out and development of the tool and design of data governance.
The DAM Manager will need to be able to communicate effectively with International teams and assist these users by escalating any technical concerns or obstacles they may be encountering. At the same time, you will also need to set governance standards and work with colleagues to ensure they are followed.
