What photos should we attach to each story to help the reader best visualize what's happening? What events do we need to have on our radar?

• Oversee our AI-powered player-performance notes while looking to aggressively push the boundaries of automation across other editorial-based products.
• Participate in a cross-continental project that involves sourcing, processing, renaming and resizing team and league logos and player headshots across multiple sports to ensure all rolling league deadlines are met and coordinated with client expectations.
