• Strong JavaScript skills: reading, writing, debugging and maintaining reusable code.
• Hands-on tracking implementation with at least one analytics platform, such as Adobe
• Analytics or Google Analytics.
• Experience translating measurement requirements into data layer specifications.
• Proven, hands-on commercial experience with a tag management platform, such as Tealium iQ or Google Tag Manager.
• Debugging and validating tracking with browser developer tools, including network requests and breakpoints.
• Understanding of how customer behaviour data is collected in modern web and mobile applications, including single-page applications.
• Understanding of consent-aware tracking.
• Clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable Criteria:

• Tealium iQ.
• Tealium EventStream and server-side tracking.
• Adobe Analytics implementation and configuration.
• Third-party tags.
• OneTrust or another consent management platform.
• Mobile app tracking with Adobe or Tealium mobile SDKs.
• Tracking Next.js applications.
• Automated testing of tracking.

Technology stack:

The team works primarily with JavaScript, Tealium iQ, Tealium EventStream, Adobe Analytics and OneTrust.
