Technical Asset Coordinator (Part Time)

Jolt is seeking a detail-oriented Technical Asset Coordinator to manage the intake, organization, preparation, and delivery of film assets across our distribution and exhibition workflows.

This part-time role sits at the intersection of film operations, digital distribution, and the backend platform team. The ideal candidate understands media files, technical specifications and basic coding, communicates clearly with internal teams, and can reliably manage multiple titles and delivery deadlines to internal and external platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Film Asset Intake and Management

  • Work with Film Program Lead to ingest film assets from multiple sources into the Jolt internal system.
  • Review incoming materials for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with Jolt’s technical requirements.
  • Organize and maintain film assets within Jolt’s storage and asset-management systems.
  • Track missing, replacement, and updated materials through resolution.
  • Maintain clear asset inventories and delivery-status trackers for each film.
  • Ensure approved versions are properly labeled, stored, and distributed without version confusion.


 

Aggregator and Platform Deliveries

  • Prepare and coordinate outbound film files and supporting materials for digital platforms.
  • Confirm that video, audio, artwork, metadata, captions, and subtitle files meet each platform’s delivery specifications.
  • Submit or transfer files through external systems such as cloud storage, FTP, or aggregator portals.
  • Monitor deliveries, respond to technical rejections, and coordinate corrected or replacement files with Film Program Lead.
  • Maintain records of delivery dates, platform acceptance, outstanding issues, and final approvals.
  • Coordinate with internal  teams to ensure delivery timelines align with release dates.

Captions, Subtitles, and Accessibility

  • Coordinate the creation, review, conversion, and delivery of closed-caption and subtitle files.
  • Check caption and subtitle files for correct language, timing, naming conventions, and format.
  • Manage requests for formats such as SRT, WebVTT, SCC, TTML, or platform-specific files.
  •  
  • Confirm whether subtitles should be burned into the picture or delivered as separate files based on exhibition requirements.
  • Support Jolt’s accessibility standards across digital and theatrical releases.

Jolt Platform and Site Support

  • Assist with film-page setup and technical quality-control checks before launch.
  • Confirm that video files, trailers, captions, artwork, metadata, links, and calls to action display and function correctly.
  • Identify and document playback, captioning, artwork, metadata, or content-display issues.
  • Coordinate issue resolution with Jolt’s product, engineering, distribution, and film teams.
  • Support updates or replacements when film assets change after launch.
  •  Conduct pre-launch and post-launch checks across relevant devices and browsers.


 

DCP and Theatrical Support

  • Coordinate DCP orders with approved vendors for theatrical screenings and qualifying releases.
  • Confirm specifications including aspect ratio, audio format, captions, subtitles, encryption, and delivery method.
  • Arrange DCP downloads, hard-drive shipments, KDMs, or other theater-specific delivery requirements.
  • Communicate with theaters, projection teams, and vendors to confirm successful ingestion and testing.
  • Track DCP orders, shipment information, testing status, screening dates, and associated costs.
  •  Help troubleshoot time-sensitive theatrical delivery issues.

Tracking and Operational Support

  • Maintain accurate asset, delivery, DCP, captioning, and technical-issue trackers.
  • Flag missing materials, technical risks, and timeline concerns early.
  • Document delivery specifications, recurring issues, and resolution steps.
  • Help improve Jolt’s asset-intake and technical-delivery procedures.
  • Support multiple film releases and screenings simultaneously while maintaining accuracy and clear communication.

     

Automation and Technical Tooling

  • Build and maintain lightweight scripts to automate repetitive asset tasks: batch renaming, metadata extraction and reformatting, delivery-status tracking, and routine QC checks.
  • Use scripting and command-line tools to inspect and validate media files against spec: codecs, aspect ratios, frame rates, audio configuration, and caption timing.
  • Pull and reconcile asset and delivery data from spreadsheets, databases, or platform/aggregator APIs to keep trackers accurate and reduce manual entry.

Qualifications

  • One to three years of experience in film distribution, post-production, media operations, digital asset management,  or a related field.
  • Working knowledge of digital video, audio, caption, subtitle, artwork, and metadata deliverables.
  • Familiarity with common media formats, codecs, aspect ratios, frame rates, audio configurations, and file-transfer systems.
  • Experience coordinating DCP creation or theatrical delivery is strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with digital distribution platforms or aggregators is a plus.
  • Comfort writing and modifying scripts (e.g., Python) to automate repetitive file, metadata, or tracking work.
  • Familiarity with APIs, command-line tools, or basic SQL for querying and updating asset and delivery records.
  • Experience with media tooling or version control (e.g., Git) is a plus.
  • Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines and identify missing or incorrect materials.
  • Clear written communication skills, particularly when explaining technical requirements to nontechnical partners.
  • Comfort working independently and escalating issues when necessary.
  • Interest in independent film and Jolt’s mission of connecting meaningful films with global audiences.
