• Define scalable data flow patterns (API, batch, event-driven)
• Contribute to centralised integration strategy

• Maintain platform health, performance, and reliability
• Lead incident investigation and resolution
• Manage technical debt and continuous improvement

• Implement secure, compliant development practices
• Own release and deployment processes
• Introduce DevOps and CI/CD approaches where appropriate

• Act as the technical authority for Marketing Cloud
• Partner with Architecture, Data, and Salesforce teams
• Guide Marketing Ops within defined guardrails
• Collaborate with Marketing stakeholders to architect business needs into scalable technical solutions
• Offer expert guidance aligned with Marketing Cloud best practices and emerging industry trends
• Serve as a strategic technical authority for Marketing Operations and Go-To-Market functions

• Experience working with Salesforce CRM integrations
• Solid understanding of data modelling and data governance
• Experience with version control and release processes
• Ability to operate at a senior technical level and influence stakeholders
• Proven track record of partnering with Marketing stakeholders to transform business needs into scalable technical solutions
• Strong command of digital marketing fundamentals, including customer journey mapping, segmentation, and campaign lifecycle management
• Ability to provide expert guidance rooted in Marketing Cloud best practices and evolving industry standards

• Marketing Cloud certifications
• Experience in SaaS and/or PE-backed environments
• Exposure to post-acquisition technology & process alignment 
• Exposure to Databricks or modern data platforms
• Experience with integration tools (e.g. MuleSoft, Workato)
• Experience with Hubspot
• Knowledge of the wider martech ecosystem
• General understanding of digital marketing principles and customer engagement strategies
• Experience partnering with Marketing or Marketing Operations teams in a consultative capacity
