Bonus Skills

• Deep expertise in marketing data and marketing technology (martech) environments.
• Prior experience enabling data democratization and agentic workflows.
• Experience managing vendor data integrations.
• Experience in a MarTech, digital marketing, personalization, CRM, or retail-media ecosystem.
• Familiarity with platforms in our stack, e.g., Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC), Databricks, Hightouch, Kafka, Contentstack / CMS & DAM, LiveRamp / UID2.
• Retail or convenience-retail industry experience
