• Validate end‑to‑end data flow from ingestion to profile to segmentation to activation.

Identity & Profile Architecture

• Design and implement identity stitching strategies across CRM IDs, ECIDs, hashed emails, AAIDs, and other identifiers.
• Configure and validate identity graphs to ensure accurate stitching and profile completeness.

Segmentation & Activation

• Build and maintain RTCDP segments including rule‑based, event‑based, account‑based, and streaming audiences.
• Configure and test activation destinations such as paid media platforms, email and marketing automation tools, and cloud and file‑based export destinations.
• Validate activation accuracy, latency, and downstream audience performance.

Cross‑Solution Collaboration

• Partner with AEP engineers to align schemas, datasets, and identity requirements.
• Work with AJO teams to ensure journeys and decisioning logic receive accurate audience inputs.
• Support CJA teams by aligning profile and event datasets for reporting and analysis.
• Collaborate with client and Adobe architects to ensure interoperability across systems.

Quality, Testing & Delivery

• Monitor ingestion success, data lineage, schema adherence, and governance compliance.
• Conduct QA across profiles, identities, segments, and activation endpoints.
• Identify and mitigate risks related to data completeness, identity match rates, or activation discrepancies.
• Produce technical documentation including mappings, runbooks, and implementation artifacts.
