MIT Lincoln Laboratory is seeking an experienced Digital Asset Management (DAM) Librarian to help implement, manage and maintain a newly acquired DAM system. The successful candidate, working as part of the DAM Core Project Team, will hold responsibilities for system configuration, metadata application, and refining workflows to upload, tag and internally share the Laboratory's photography, videography, and visual design digital assets.
