- Use approved speech-generation and processing tools to create or adapt content, then evaluate and prepare outputs to team standards.
- Identify issues involving noise, level, dynamics, spectral balance, timing, pronunciation, continuity or processing artifacts, correcting manageable problems through direct editing and escalating complex ones to the speech team.
- Maintain accurate naming, metadata, versioning, source files and delivery structures, and maintain structured asset workflows.
- Prepare, import and validate speech assets in game-audio tools, databases and established pipelines.
- Track assigned work, provide estimates with lead support, and communicate priorities, dependencies and schedule risks early.

- 3+ years of experience managing assets against technical specifications, naming conventions, metadata and version-control requirements.
- Experience with game-audio authoring tools, databases or content pipelines.
- Ability to document technical workflows, track project milestones and coordinate asset deliveries across multiple technical and creative departments.
- Ability to work through high volumes of content without losing consistency, with an understanding of how editorial choices affect clarity, authenticity and the player experience.
- Ability to evaluate and integrate new tools through active testing and structured analysis.
Preferred Skills
