You build the platform capabilities Marketing Operations uses to run email and triggered journeys.

Adobe Journey Optimizer (strategy + execution) - Own AJO product direction and hands-on delivery of journeys, triggers, and message designs. - Configure journeys, events, offer decisioning, and real-time use cases (e.g. Corporate Direct, lifecycle triggers). - Enable Marketing Operations through training, runbooks, and operating procedures. - Partner on AJO Offers and offer flows with Marketing Experience Platform teams where required. Cross-platform activation - Ensure audiences and consent/suppression from the customer data platform are enforced before sending in both tools. - Architect and verify activation dataflows from CDP to Campaign and AJO; define data contracts and latency expectations with IT and vendors. - Document platform configuration, dependencies, and runbooks to reduce key-person risk. - Champion change management so Marketing Operations adopts standards and reusable patterns. Qualifications What you will bring: We value strategy and hands-on platform skills in the same person. Required - 5+ years in marketing technology, product management, or technical product ownership. - 4+ years hands-on Adobe Campaign Classic in production: workflows, deliveries, templates, targeting, troubleshooting. - 2+ years hands-on Adobe Journey Optimizer or comparable enterprise journey orchestration (e.g. Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud Journeys, Responsys). - Ability to own roadmap and execute in both platforms (not delegate all build work). - Strong SQL; comfort debugging audience counts and sync issues between CDP and activation tools. - Collaborate to align Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) XDM schemas with Adobe Campaign Classic relational data models to ensure seamless profile merging. - Scripting in Campaign workflows (JavaScript or equivalent) and journey configuration experience. - Email deliverability fundamentals and CASL-aware marketing operations. - Experience leading a major platform migration or upgrade (Campaign v7 to v8 strongly preferred). - Demonstrate punctuality and dependability to support overall team success in a fast-paced environment. - Agile delivery; clear technical documentation. - Influential communicator in matrixed organizations. - Bilingual (English and French) preferred at equal qualifications. - Preference for travel, hospitality, or loyalty programs.
