• Support STV Player’s editorial strategy by updating homepage placements, categories, collections and recommendations, working closely with colleagues across Digital and the wider business.
• Create, proof, check and update programme information, episode metadata, written descriptions, imagery and thumbnails.
• Act as a ‘first customer’ by checking audio and video quality, playback, advertising, sponsorship, subtitles and platform presentation before signing off publication.
