• Create concise journey maps, workflow diagrams, requirements, decisions, process documentation, and SOPs that support implementation and maintenance.

Governance, Measurement & Optimization

• Apply and help evolve marketing automation governance standards while following applicable data, privacy, CRM, and technology requirements.
• Define acceptance criteria; conduct or coordinate functional QA and business UAT; and monitor for conflicting workflows, unintended enrollment, duplicate communications, and marketing-use-case data issues.
• Define journey success measures with Analytics and use approved reporting to improve performance, personalization, operational efficiency, and customer or partner outcomes.
• Promote a test-and-learn approach and evaluate practical applications of AI and emerging marketing technologies based on customer value, feasibility, data readiness, governance, risk, and scalability.

Knowledge & Skills:

• 5+ years of experience in marketing automation, marketing technology, CDP, lifecycle marketing, customer journey management, or a related field, including experience supporting complex and varied marketing journeys. HubSpot experience preferred.
• Hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and optimizing marketing automation journeys and workflows, with strong knowledge of segmentation, enrollment and suppression rules, lifecycle management, routing, personalization, and triggered communication
• Working knowledge of CRM, customer data platforms, analytics, consent, data governance, and integration concepts is preferred.
• Experience translating business needs into functional requirements, data requirements, process flows, use cases, acceptance criteria, and implementation-ready documentation.
• Strong facilitation, systems-thinking, documentation, analytical, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to translate strategic priorities into hands-on execution while balancing governance, prioritization, scalability, and continuous improvement.
• Familiarity with email deliverability, QA, UAT, HTML/CSS, and practical applications of AI in marketing automation are preferred.
