Reliability, Privacy & Governance

• Monitor data quality, pipeline health, and campaign delivery performance
• Implement consent enforcement, suppression logic, and governance controls
• Ensure compliance with privacy regulations (CCPA/GDPR), specifically designing automated 'Right to be Forgotten' workflows that propagate deletions across the CDP and downstream vendors.
• Manage High-Volume Transactional IP Pools and lead IP warming strategies (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to ensure deliverability during platform migrations.
• Serve as a technical partner to Lifecycle Marketing, CRM, and Retention teams
• Translate business requirements into scalable martech solutions
• Document architecture, workflows, and best practices
• Mentor junior engineers or marketing technologists as the team grows

  • Managing a hybrid stack of activation tools (Email, SMS, Push) with experience resolving user identity and frequency capping conflicts between vendors.
• Proven experience supporting retention marketing, CRM, and lifecycle programs
• Strong understanding of identity resolution, consent management, and customer data modeling
