• Act as the primary internal owner of our customer engagement platform (e.g., Braze) relationship and main point of contact with that vendor
• Lead data infrastructure projects with technical delivery partners, including ownership of how data reaches our engagement platform
• Serve as an internal stakeholder for reporting builds and priorities with our data/analytics partners

• Own end-to-end data pipelines (analytics platform ? customer engagement platform ? downstream systems)
• Ensure audience logic is accurate, scalable, and consistently refreshed
• Manage dependencies across Product, Data, and Engineering
• Conduct ongoing QA of events, attributes, and campaign triggers
• Identify and resolve data discrepancies

• Ensure campaigns trigger correctly and consistently
• Manage edge cases such as trial status, offer eligibility, and other user states
• Reduce the risk of broken or misfired lifecycle campaigns
• Create clear documentation of data definitions, flows, and campaign logic

• Build and maintain complex audience segmentation (e.g., trial, churn risk, engagement tiers)
• Enable triggered and personalized lifecycle campaigns
• Support experimentation and testing infrastructure
• Enable long-term scalability of the lifecycle program

• Define and enforce expected linking behavior across email, push, web, and app
• Validate URL handling, app opens, and fallback experiences
• Troubleshoot cross-platform inconsistencies impacting onboarding and engagement

• Serve as the primary owner for transactional emails, including monitoring sends and results, and coordinating data updates related to email content, endpoints, and webhooks
• Support subscription offer launches, pricing updates, and operational reviews in partnership with the broader marketing team

• Act as the bridge between Marketing, Product, Data, and Engineering
• Drive prioritization and execution of martech dependencies
• Ensure clear ownership and follow-through on technical work

Qualifications:

• 4-7+ years of experience in marketing technology or CRM/lifecycle marketing operations
• Hands-on experience with a customer engagement platform, preferably Braze
• Experience with customer data/product analytics platforms such as Mixpanel and Looker
• Working proficiency in SQL and Python for audience segmentation and data validation
• Familiarity with deep linking, mobile/web attribution, and cross-platform user experiences
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with experience partnering across Marketing, Product, Data, and Engineering
• Excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach to QA and data integrity
• Experience in a subscription or membership-based business and a genuine interest in cooking is a plus
