• Review technical designs, code, configurations, SQL queries, AMPscript, SSJS, APIs, and automation processes.
• Troubleshoot complex platform, integration, data, performance, and campaign‑execution issues.
• Lead and mentor Marketing Cloud consultants and developers, ensuring high‑quality delivery and adherence to technical standards.
• Establish and enforce development standards, naming conventions, documentation practices, deployment processes, and code‑review guidelines.
• Work closely with project managers to define scope, estimates, timelines, resource requirements, dependencies, and delivery risks.
• Support pre‑sales activities, including solution discovery, technical presentations, effort estimation, proposals, and proof‑of‑concept development.
• Liaise with Salesforce product and support teams to resolve platform issues and support client implementations.
• Stay current with Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud, Agentforce, and wider MarTech platform developments.
