The successful candidate will serve as a player/coach—setting priorities, developing team members, solving technical problems, and helping deliver technology solutions that support marketing and business objectives.

Marketing or advertising agency experience is a key priority. Candidates from similarly fast-paced industries may also be considered, depending on their marketing technology experience.

• Evaluate, implement, maintain, and improve marketing technology platforms, tools, and integrations.
• Troubleshoot technical issues and work directly with the team to resolve problems.
• Manage competing projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Coach and develop team members while establishing clear expectations and accountability.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, system reliability, platform adoption, and operational efficiency.
• Coordinate with technology vendors and external partners to support implementation and ongoing service needs.
• Communicate project progress, risks, and recommendations to leadership.

Qualifications

• Extensive progressive experience in technology, with approximately 15–20 years of relevant experience preferred.
• Experience working with marketing technology platforms and supporting marketing-related business needs.
• Prior experience in a marketing or advertising agency strongly preferred; relevant experience in another fast-paced industry may be considered.
• Experience managing a team while continuing to perform hands-on technical work.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver projects, troubleshoot issues, and manage multiple priorities.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
• A practical, adaptable approach and willingness to stay closely involved in execution.

Ideal Candidate

You enjoy leading a team and doing the work alongside them. You understand the pace and changing demands of a marketing environment, can connect technology decisions to business needs, and bring the judgment to guide projects while remaining close to the technical details.
