Role Description

The Senior Marketing Operations Specialist will report to the Senior Analytics Manager. This is a high-visibility, high-impact individual contributor role. You won’t just be architecting the strategy; you’ll be rolling up your sleeves to build, execute, and own it end-to-end.

As the Senior Marketing Operations Specialist, you will:

• Sit at the intersection of marketing, engineering, and analytics - acting as a translator who turns complex marketing strategies into technical requirements, infrastructure, and scalable solutions.
• Serve as the primary owner of our enterprise ESP (Braze) - managing data inflows and outflows, CDP integrations, and unsubscribe governance to ensure a best-in-class orchestration.
• Function as our end-to-end Ad Operations team - setting up event passback to paid ad platforms, installing and configuring tracking pixels, and strategizing on how to optimize spend efficiency through our event implementation.
• Oversee the operational lifecycle of campaigns from inception to delivery - establishing UTM tracking guidelines, designing scalable data ingestion processes, and building ESP infrastructure that empowers rapid experimentation.
• Implement robust campaign monitoring, delivery alerting, and validation frameworks to ensure flawless technical setup and message execution.
• Champion data governance, documentation, and deliverability best practices across our martech stack, ensuring full compliance with CAN-SPAM and safeguarding IP and domain health.
• Drive innovation across our lifecycle messaging channels, building advanced personalization capabilities that allow us to engage customers in unique, timely, and meaningful ways.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience governing enterprise ESPs and CDPs (Braze experience is a major plus), managing data inflows and outflows, and maintaining data hygiene.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience owning Ad Operations execution, including setting up pixel configurations, server-side tracking, and targeting parameters across a variety of channels (Search, Social, Display, OTT, etc).
• Strong, fluent SQL skills and comfortable querying, transforming, and modeling complex datasets to support targeting and custom audiences.
• A rare hybrid, equal parts marketer, engineer, and analyst, with an exceptional ability to translate marketing strategy into technical architecture and execution plans.
• Strong working knowledge of email deliverability best practices, IP/domain health management, and regulatory frameworks such as CAN-SPAM.

Requirements

• Experience with Braze Liquid logic, Connected Content, and complex canvas/journey orchestration.
• Experience in highly regulated fields, such as financial services, that operate under limited targeting constraints.
• Familiarity working with modern data stack (e.g. Snowflake, dbt, Looker, Segment).
