This leader will set strategy and drive execution across a portfolio of platforms, manage a team of experienced engineers and technical program managers, oversee vendor relationships, and ensure platform operations meet the highest standards of security, compliance, and reliability.

What You\u2019ll Be Doing

• Lead a global platform engineering organization - setting direction, coaching talent, and building a culture where experienced engineers stay focused, energized, and doing their best work.
• Lead the strategy, roadmap, and end-to-end delivery of the digital marketing platform portfolio, including customer data platforms, marketing automation, personalization, consent management, and pipeline infrastructure.

What We Need To See

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant technical field, or equivalent experience.
• 12+ overall years in software or platform engineering, including 5+ years leading managers, senior engineers, and external partners.
• Experience developing technical leaders and guiding distributed teams through organizational and technology change.
• Deep expertise in microservices and distributed systems architecture — able to set technical standards, design robust API-first platform services, and guide complex architectural tradeoffs.
• Strong command of modern data architecture: cloud-native production environments, event pipelines, database design (relational and NoSQL), data quality, governance, observability, and production operations.
• Experience building or operating customer data, marketing automation, personalization, analytics, or AI-enabled platforms at enterprise scale.
• A record of delivering complex programs across a matrixed organization while balancing priorities, risks, and team capacity.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to explain technical decisions in practical business terms.

• Background in digital marketing operations or marketing technology at a global technology company, with an understanding of how platform decisions drive customer acquisition, personalization, and campaign performance.
