Vizrt Group
January 2022 – Present
Vizrt Group is the world’s leading provider of visual storytelling tools for media content creators in the broadcast, sports, digital and pro-AV industries, helping them to build a better-informed world.
Digital Experience Manager | The web team under Marketing Ops is the front-end developer side for all four brands. Charged with maintaining and improving upon the user experience (UX) and the interfaces they use (UI).
- Successfully lead several product launches by coordinating assets needed, turnaround time, and coding the front-end experience across all pages on the website.
- Solved a bottleneck created by smaller projects by leading two training sessions for the Sitecore CMS that I learned myself only 7 months prior. This initiative allowed access to Product Marketing Managers and Demand Gen Managers so they could confidently make simple edits themselves.
