The Opportunity

You will be part of the Marketing Technology team and part of the Customer Experience community. Working with people across marketing, digital, technology, and data to deliver an amazing, performance-focussed omni-channel experience. The team currently support a range of martech, from digital tagging and insight, data-driven performance advertising, email, audience management and customer web-chat. The team are constantly innovating and expanding the martech capabilities as well as making the most of our global scale.

What You Will Be Doing

This role will focus on our newly introduced customer data platform (CDP). You’ll be the platform owner and help define and deliver the tech and data roadmap and backlog as well as ensuring the CDP delivers and grows our performance in new and exciting ways. You will:

• Own and lead the development of a range of martech capabilities and platforms to deliver business value.
• Understand business needs and priorities and influence the wider business on opportunities and possibilities.
• Translate business problems into martech and CDP technology solutions, adapting and influencing up and actively shaping the business CX roadmap.
• Architect new solutions from our Martech and CX stacks to deliver against the business roadmap.
• Lead the development of those technology solutions, applying market-leading technological expertise across a range of tools and disciplines.
• Work collaboratively with other technology teams to align development priorities, influencing stakeholders to secure engagement and prioritise accordingly.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone with existing CDP experience – preferably Treasure Data. Your experience can come from implementing one, running one, or exploiting one. Other requirements include:

• A martech technology expert, particularly in Customer Data Platforms.
• Be able to demonstrate not just technological expertise, but also the ability to translate business needs into martech solutions.
• Be able to influence upwards with the wider business and bring opportunities to the business beyond simple implementations.
• Be well-versed in the latest in digital and advertising ecosystems.
• An expert and champion of data privacy, regulations, and how that affects our experience as well as how to implement and ensure compliance across a range of regulation and data technologies.
• An expert in CDPs and other martech and data technologies and be able to show how you can deliver using large data ecosystems such as a CDP.
• Able to demonstrate experience in a range of martech such as email and marketing automation, campaign and advertising platforms, data management platforms (DMPs), Sales Tech and AdTech, CRM, digital tagging and privacy technology.
• Experience with working with colleagues across marketing and digital (and preferably across countries too), understanding needs, turning them into product roadmaps and delivering against them.

Most importantly you’ll be someone who sees the opportunity in martech to drive experience and performance and you’ll be the person to make that happen.
