Responsibilities

  • Partner with Digital Product Managers to translate business problems into feasible delivery approaches; co-lead solution concepting and define the path from concept to production.
  • Design end-to-end architectures combining AI agents, integrations, APIs, data, automation, and custom application components aligned to approved platform patterns.
  • Guide architecture of agentic workflows that use structured data and unstructured content.
  • Identify reusable patterns and convert them into platform features, enablement materials, and reference architectures.
  • Define non-functional requirements including scalability, performance, reliability, security, auditability, and maintainability.
  • Contribute to assessing marketing and advertising workflows to identify high-impact opportunities across content operations, campaign execution, analytics, personalization, and measurement.
  • Lead client sessions to understand business objectives and existing systems to define an appropriate solution approach.
  • Document client technology stacks, dependencies, data flows, and constraints; translate findings into architecture options and integration strategies.
  • Collaborate with architects and engineers to integrate with MarTech ecosystems such as CDP/CRM, CMS, tag management, ad platforms, and analytics stacks.
  • Conduct technology audits and vendor analyses; recommend build-vs-buy paths based on fit, cost, risk, APIs, service constraints, and delivery impact.
  • Ensure discovery outputs translate into clear technical options, constraints, and architecture decisions.
  • Provide architecture governance across the SDLC, including reviews and risk management, ensuring implementation aligns to approved solutions and platform patterns.
  • Provide scoping inputs: assumptions, dependencies, risks, sequencing, staffing, and level-of-effort.
  • Serve as a senior client-facing technical lead: co-facilitate discovery with Digital Product Managers, lead technical working sessions, deliver architecture playbacks and demos, and communicate tradeoffs clearly.
  • Explain complex architecture, risks, and tradeoffs for executives, marketers, and engineers.
  • Build trusted relationships with senior client technology stakeholders and facilitate decisions when business, product, and engineering priorities conflict.
  • Maintain a clear through-line from proposal to design to delivery.
  • Stay current on generative AI, agentic patterns, evaluation approaches, and emerging standards; identify opportunities to improve platform capabilities and delivery methods.
  • Apply responsible AI principles, including privacy, data handling, consent, access controls, governance, auditability, and model limitation awareness.
  • Define practical AI evaluation approaches for quality, bias, reliability, monitoring, and drift.
  • Maintain strong organization, time management, and risk mitigation across distributed teams.
