Data Operations & Governance:

• Oversee daily data operations, including monitoring data feeds, troubleshooting issues, ensuring ingestion/data availability SLAs, and establishing new data pipelines.
• Maintain rigorous financial management of the partnership—forecasting, budgeting, invoice review, and reconciliation.
• Manage regulatory monitoring and reporting, ensuring adherence to privacy requirements (e.g., data sharing agreements, usage permissions, CCPA/other relevant policies).
• Own documentation, process mapping, and compliance standards for all data-sharing workflows.

Audience Strategy & Execution (Programmatic Focus):

• Build, deploy, and monitor programmatic audiences in partnership with the Channel Lead.
• Develop and optimize audience strategies grounded in data insights, operational feasibility, and performance objectives.
• Own the audience roadmap, including the development of new audience products, expansion of first‑party data usage, and activation enhancements.
• Provide hands-on execution expertise: audience creation, distribution, QA, troubleshooting, delivery monitoring, and reporting.

Data Monetization & Innovation:

• Design and operationalize data monetization strategies, including new data products, partnerships, and clean room–based collaborations.
• Identify opportunities to generate incremental value from existing data assets.
• Evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and partnerships to advance the clean room roadmap and audience sophistication.

Cross-Functional Leadership:

• Collaborate closely with media, analytics, legal, privacy, engineering, and finance stakeholders.
• Translate complex data workflows into clear business implications and opportunities.
• Influence strategic decision-making through a deep understanding of data architecture, activation paths, and regulatory boundaries.

Qualifications

Required:

• 8–10 years of experience in data-driven marketing, ad tech, digital media, or martech.
• Direct, hands-on experience with LiveRamp (Safe Haven, Clean Room, Identity, or Activation).
• Expert-level understanding of data flows, identity graphs, ingestion processes, and data-sharing contracts.
• Proven experience in programmatic media, especially audience creation, segmentation, and activation.
• Strong governance, compliance, and operational discipline; exceptional attention to detail.
• Demonstrated ability to independently own complex platforms or products.
• Ability to manage budgets, vendor relationships, and platform contracts.
• Experience working in agency, brand, or enterprise-level operational environments.

Preferred:

• Experience leading data privacy or regulatory compliance processes.
• Understanding of measurement, incrementality, or advanced analytics.
• Product mindset: building roadmaps, identifying opportunities, and prioritizing enhancements.
• Experience in high-growth or startup environments.

What Success Looks Like:

• Clean room and LiveRamp environments consistently run with zero operational risk.
• Audiences are executed with speed, precision, and measurable impact.
• The organization relies on this role as the trusted expert on data governance and audience strategy.
