Best vs. Average Candidate

• The ideal candidate brings deep experience in regulated industries, agile delivery, and a strong understanding of modern MarTech platforms.

• Ideally someone who is very savvy with stakeholders (lots of visibility with stakeholders for this one unlike the fingers to keys resources they usually look for).
• Communication is paramount here, the HM needs consistent and clear communication.
• The current person in the role is both a certified scrum master and brings agile principles to the team, but also has program and project management experience helping to deliver key releases and implementations across multiple teams and resources (delivery management).
• They have over 10 years of experience, and have worked at large organizations and managed teams of over 50+, often helping the manager manage the development team.
• Note: HM is not looking for the exact same profile; personalization/MarTech experience is preferred but not required.
