- Minimum Age: At least 18 years of age
Job Responsibilities:As the leader of this domain, you will oversee the development and ownership of a sophisticated MarTech ecosystem:
- Guest Data Endpoints: Direct the strategy for unifying disparate guest data points across multiple sources to provide the same source of truth for all systems and solutions that deliver digital experiences to the guest. You'll ensure identity resolution is robust, privacy-compliant, and accessible across all guest-facing channels.
- MarTech Innovation: Lead the technical roadmap for our Customer Data Platform (CDP), Content Management System (CMS), and Digital Asset Management (DAM). You will ensure these platforms are not just operational, but integrated and cutting-edge.
- Empowering Marketers: Oversee the creation of internal tools and intuitive interfaces. Your goal is to democratize data, allowing our marketing talent to orchestrate, personalize, and measure campaigns without needing a ticket for every change.
- Omni-channel Orchestration: Drive the "irrigation" of personalized data. You will build the custom integrations and interfaces required to flow guest insights into any channel (email, web, app, or in-resort) for real-time, relevant messaging.
- Team Leadership: Mentor and scale a high-performing engineering team, fostering a culture of technical excellence, rapid experimentation, and guest-centric thinking.
What You'll Bring:- Engineering Excellence: Proven experience leading large-scale engineering teams, specifically within MarTech, AdTech, or Data Engineering.
- Architectural Vision: Deep understanding of identity resolution, data integrity & democratization, and a vision for modern SaaS and API-first architectures. You know how to build systems that handle scale while maintaining low latency.
- Product Mindset: You don't just build features; you build solutions. You understand the "why" behind marketing tactics and can translate them into technical requirements.
- Collaboration: A track record of working closely with Marketing, Product, and other Engineering leaders to align technical roadmaps with business growth.
- Strategic Agility: Experience managing build vs. buy decisions and navigating the complex vendor landscape of CDPs and CMSs.
Job Requirements:- SaaS Ecosystem Expertise: Extensive experience managing and integrating best-in-class SaaS platforms. Specific experience with Amperity (CDP) and ContentStack (Headless CMS) is highly preferred.
- Modern Data Architecture: Deep proficiency in cloud data warehousing, specifically managing data flows and identity schemas within Snowflake or Databricks. You should understand how to leverage these platforms for real-time guest insights.
- Data Integration & Orchestration: Proven ability to build complex, automated workflows using SnapLogic (or equivalent iPaaS tools) to connect disparate systems and "irrigate" data across the enterprise.
- Analytics & Measurement: Familiarity with the Adobe Analytics suite, specifically in how it feeds into identity resolution and helps measure the downstream impact of personalization efforts.
- SaaS & API-First Mentality: A strong advocate for "Headless" and "Composable" architectures, ensuring that guest data and content are accessible via custom endpoints for any digital channel.
- Cloud Fluency: Expert-level understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure), specifically regarding data security, privacy compliance (GDPR/CCPA), and low-latency delivery.
The expected pay range is $165,000 - $180,000 + annual bonus + equity. This is the pay range we reasonably expect to pay for this position. Individual compensation decisions are based on a variety of factors.
