Full Job Description
Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Engineer, Marketing Analytics to own the end-to-end data collection infrastructure across TAG's multi-brand digital properties. This person will architect and maintain the tagging ecosystem that enables our marketing teams to make fast, confident decisions — while ensuring every data flow meets the highest standards of HIPAA compliance and data governance.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role sitting at the intersection of engineering, marketing, and compliance. You will partner directly with brand marketing teams, data analysts, privacy/legal counsel, and product managers across Aspen Dental, ClearChoice, WellNow, and other TAG brands. The right candidate thrives in a fast-moving, multi-brand environment where marketing campaigns move quickly and accuracy is non-negotiable.

What You’ll Do

Marketing Data Layer Architecture & Ownership

  • Design, build, and maintain the centralized Tag Management System (TMS) strategy across all TAG brand websites, including aspendental.com, clearchoice.com, wellnow.com, mychapter.com, and lovet.com
  • Establish and enforce a scalable data layer standard that accounts for varying PHI sensitivity across brands (e.g., dental/implant patient journeys vs. aesthetics vs. urgent care)
  • Architect tag firing rules, triggers, and variable structures that respect brand-level compliance tiers and develop automation to show realtime system health
  • Maintain a clean, auditable tag inventory and deprecate orphaned or legacy tags to reduce governance risk

Tagging Implementation & Platform Expertise

  • Implement and manage Google Tag Manager (GTM) containers across multi-brand properties with complex custom variable logic and server-side tagging configurations
  • Build and maintain GA4 implementations including event schemas, custom dimensions/metrics, conversion tracking, and cross-domain measurement
  • Configure and manage SA360 floodlight activities, custom variables, and conversion tag architecture to support performance media campaigns
  • Own Freshpaint configuration as the PHI-safe data routing layer, including source configuration, destination mapping, and allowlist governance for healthcare-compliant event forwarding
  • Support Google Ads, Meta Pixel, Bing UET, and programmatic DSP pixels within a compliant tagging framework
  • Implement and maintain Enhanced Conversions and server-side conversion APIs (CAPI) where applicable

HIPAA, PHI & Compliance

  • Serve as the technical SME for marketing data privacy and compliance, partnering with Legal, Privacy, and Compliance teams
  • Apply brand-level PHI tiering logic: enforce stricter data routing rules for brands where patient health information may be present (e.g., Aspen Dental, ClearChoice, WellNow) vs. lower-sensitivity brands
  • Maintain working knowledge of HIPAA Marketing Rule requirements and OCR guidance as they relate to pixel tracking and ad platform data sharing
  • Configure and audit Freshpaint (or equivalent CDP/proxy layer) to prevent unauthorized PHI transmission to ad platforms
  • Lead regular compliance audits of active tags, cookies, and data flows; produce audit documentation for legal review
  • Stay current on evolving privacy regulations (CCPA, state-level privacy laws) and their impact on TAG’s tracking architecture

Marketing Team Partnership

  • Serve as the primary technical partner for TAG’s brand marketing teams, translating campaign measurement needs into scalable tagging solutions
  • Participate in campaign planning and launch readiness reviews to ensure tracking requirements are captured and implemented before go-live
  • Triage and resolve tracking issues quickly — this team moves fast, and broken tags have real revenue impact
  • Build and maintain QA processes to validate implementations pre- and post-launch
  • Create and maintain tagging documentation, implementation guides, and training materials for marketing stakeholders

Data Quality, Reporting & Analytics Enablement

  • Partner with the Analytics team to ensure GA4 and BigQuery data pipelines produce clean, reliable marketing attribution data
  • Support multi-touch attribution modeling by ensuring consistent event naming conventions and parameter structures across brands
  • Configure and maintain GA4  BigQuery export; collaborate with data engineering on downstream data quality
  • Identify and resolve data discrepancies between ad platform reporting and analytics reporting

What We’re Looking For

Required

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in digital analytics engineering, marketing technology, or tagging/implementation roles
  • Deep expertise in Google Tag Manager — custom HTML tags, data layer architecture, server-side GTM, workspaces, versioning

  • Hands-on experience with SA360 Floodlight tag architecture and conversion tracking
  • Direct experience with Freshpaint or an equivalent PHI-safe customer data platform (Paubox, mParticle HIPAA configuration, or similar)
  • Working knowledge of HIPAA requirements as applied to digital marketing pixels and ad platform data sharing
  • Experience supporting multi-brand or multi-property digital environments with distinct tagging needs
  • Strong JavaScript proficiency for custom tag scripting and debugging
  • Proven ability to work directly with fast-moving marketing teams and translate business requirements into technical implementations quickly
  • Experience with QA methodologies: browser DevTools, Omnibug, Tag Assistant Enterprise, Charles Proxy

Preferred

  • Experience at a DSO, healthcare system, or multi-location retail healthcare brand
  • Familiarity with server-side tagging and Google Cloud Run / Cloud Functions for GTM server container hosting
