Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built CRM governance at scale (8–12 years in lifecycle marketing, orchestration, or martech) and can articulate rules without strangling velocity
  • You think in systems: data models, event triggers, segmentation logic, and cross-channel workflows are your native language
  • You're equally comfortable in a board room and in a Braze journey editor; you can translate between strategy and mechanics
  • You love documentation, playbooks, and repeatable frameworks—and you know operational excellence pays dividends
  • You thrive mentoring teams and building operating models that scale across regions and functions
Won't Work If
  • You're hands-off and delegate all execution; this role requires deep technical CRM knowledge and hands-on involvement in design
  • You struggle with ambiguity or prefer purely strategic work; you'll need to dive into data models, triggers, and governance mechanics regularly
  • You need full remote flexibility; this role requires on-site presence in NYC area (or one of the named hubs) on an as-needed basis
