• Build and maintain the Customer 360 data model, feature/attribute pipelines, and promotion/offer data feeds to decisioning systems.
• Implement data-quality validation, monitoring, and change management so segments, flags, and attributes are accurate and trustworthy.
• Deliver governed customer attributes and audiences to activation platforms (e.g., Hightouch, Salesforce Marketing Cloud) with clear ownership and documentation.
• Partner with data science to productionize model features and with architecture to align on data contracts and identity resolution.
• Support privacy and compliance requirements across all data flows.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
