Is This Role For You?
- You've built or scaled CDP/ESP operations at enterprise scale and can own technical platform strategy alongside marketing execution
- You fluently speak both data/technical governance AND lifecycle marketing—you can translate between engineering and marketers
- You've managed complex multi-channel orchestration (email, SMS, media) and real-time personalization at high volume
- You thrive in ambiguous, cross-functional environments and can drive alignment across data, IT, and marketing teams
- You're detail-oriented on data quality and compliance but still obsessed with campaign performance and customer experience outcomes
- You're primarily an email marketer without hands-on CDP/ESP technical platform experience—this is a systems and operations role first
- You need flexibility or remote work—this is 100% on-site in NYC with global collaboration requirements
- You can't handle ambiguity or delayed gratification—early months will be audits, governance work, and foundational cleanup before flashy launches
