Senior Technical Project Manager

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Project Manager to drive delivery for Acxiom’s Measurement & Optimization offering: the connected capability that ties Real ID, clean room technology, and standardized pipelines to closed-loop, privacy-safe measurement (incrementality/lift, multi-touch attribution, marketing mix modeling, conversion APIs, and rules-based attribution) and in-flight optimization across programmatic, social, TV, retail media, and owned channels.
