In this role, you will serve as the primary point of contact for all SFMC systems and integrations, partnering with business, marketing, and technical teams to turn campaign goals into scalable, data-driven customer journeys.

- Architect personalization strategies using dynamic content, data extensions, and behavioral triggers.
- Translate campaign objectives into actionable user stories, technical documentation, and functional specifications.
- Guide integration discussions with upstream systems and define integration contracts.
Implementation & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Serve as the SFMC systems lead and primary liaison between marketing, product, and technical teams.
- Configure and update system settings, HTML/CSS templates, SQL queries, and automation scripts directly within SFMC.
- Lead end-to-end testing, UAT, and go-live coordination for campaigns and new features.
- Provide hands-on troubleshooting and optimization support for existing journeys and workflows.
Feature Enablement & Continuous Improvement
- Implement new SFMC features and channels such as SMS, push notifications, and SDK integrations.
- Build proofs of concept and pilot campaigns for new digital initiatives.
- Continuously optimize campaign performance through analytics, A/B testing, and data-driven insights.
Monitoring, Analytics & Governance
- Oversee performance dashboards and campaign reporting for stakeholders.
- Ensure compliance with privacy, security, and data governance standards (e.g., opt-in/opt-out workflows).
- Maintain documentation and scalable governance processes for reusability and audit readiness.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in marketing, business, computer science, or a related discipline
- 10+ years in CRM/marketing technology with deep expertise in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) as a solution designer and cross-functional lead
- 5+ years of direct, hands-on experience configuring and administering SFMC
- Proven experience designing and deploying cross-channel marketing solutions (email, SMS, mobile push, personalized content)
- Hands-on coding experience in HTML, CSS, and SQL for SFMC configurations
- Deep understanding of SFMC modules such as Journey Builder, Contact Builder, Mobile Studio, and Automation Studio
