Desirable

• You own our marketing technology stack — lifecycle infrastructure that powers email and SMS programs, and tracking systems that keep paid media attribution honest
• You'll design and maintain the systems that let a lean, AI-powered marketing team move fast and measure accurately
• That means Iterable journeys and CDP audiences that run lifecycle programs on autopilot, a conversion tracking layer that stays clean across every ad platform, and automation that eliminates manual work from campaign launches to performance monitoring
• You'll also drive cross-functional initiatives with Engineering, Product, and Growth Science to get critical tracking and infrastructure work prioritized
• Senior IC role, no direct reports
• Own Iterable end-to-end: configuration, journey architecture, lifecycle triggers, and audience management for welcome, nurture, and re-engagement programs
• Manage our CDP (Segment Personas): define audience segments, maintain governance and naming conventions, and work with Engineering to ensure data flows to Iterable cleanly
• Build AI-powered email and SMS template systems — modular, dynamic, and populated by AI at scale — so our lifecycle team can ship programs without relying on agencies or one-off builds
• Train the team on platform capabilities and self-serve campaign creation so the lifecycle lead can focus on strategy, not production
• Own Google Tag Manager and our Segment event taxonomy. Partner with Engineering on event tracking implementation, maintain event taxonomy documentation, and troubleshoot conversion data gaps across ad platforms
• Partner with Engineering to implement and verify CAPI, enhanced conversions, and server-side tracking setups. You drive requirements, validate implementation, and own ongoing QA — Engineering builds it
• Escalate and drive Engineering/Product prioritization when tracking infrastructure needs investment
• Build automated budget pacing alerts, performance anomaly detection, and campaign QA workflows (broken links, UTM validation, tracking checks) for both paid and lifecycle programs
• Use Claude, Python, Gumloop and AI tools to build self-serve workflows that eliminate manual operational work across the team. Train team members on AI tools for content generation, analysis, and self-serve campaign creation
• Partner with Growth Science on budget allocation analysis, channel decisions, measurement planning, and incrementality testing
