Where are all the remote Digital Asset Management jobs?

When it comes to working remotely, I have pushed for it since 2000. My main limitation was the mindset of the people I worked for who often cling to an increasingly packed workspace. As if we needed to justify the commercial real estate spend of employers while everyone gets less desk space and less floor space each year. I fail to see the value of that space even if we are “together”.

What office?

If there were no more commercial offices, smart companies would figure out how to survive and thrive. If they did not, maybe the market did not need them to continue existing. If the market needed their products or services to exist without offices, simply switch out any of their leadership or management that cling to the self-limiting beliefs like “must work in an office together” and other such fallacies.

Where do you get your metadata?

In the past, I mentioned there were no ‘metadata fairies‘ that would come by and sprinkle the necessary metadata on your digital assets. Some Digital Asset Management (DAM) vendors offer some auto-tagging or AI-assisted tagging technology for a first pass if provided the right metadata schemas, data models, and/or rules.

Who wants to be a Remote Digital Asset Management Practitioner?

If you work in the field of Digital Asset Management (DAM), you are likely already working remotely because DAM systems can be and is easily managed by professionals from literally any location. Regardless of any man-made or natural disaster, there is little to no reason why DAM can not be curated, configured, implemented, managed and used from any location, at all times.

How do you manage your metadata now?

Metadata is still the lifeblood behind Digital Asset Management. Without metadata, Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems are just another completely ineffective and inefficient means of digital storage (which there are too many of them today) with some connectors to other systems.
