The AI Marketing Automation Engineer is a technical infrastructure role within the Marketing Operations team. You are not a campaign manager; you are an orchestrator of systems and agents. Your mission is to deliver automation at scale, which enables orchestrated marketing activities.
Operating at the intersection of agentic ops and marketing technology, you will be responsible for the health, growth, and orchestration capability, partnering closely with Marketing to deliver automated and scalable activities. You will leverage agentic AI to move beyond manual workflows, creating autonomous systems that manage data hygiene, consent logic, and hyper-personalised customer journeys within our Marketing Automation Platforms. Success in this role is defined by the reduction of technical debt, the expansion of our marketable audience, and the implementation of sophisticated, agent-led automation that removes human friction from the customer lifecycle.

Scope and capture requirements for the implementation, integration, and optimisation of marketing technology tools, ensuring robust data management, tracking, and validation across the stack (e.g., Braze for customer engagement, Appcues for in-app guidance, Marketo for automation, Hightouch for data syncing, Outreach for sales engagement, and Qualified for lead qualification).
- Guide marketing operations processes to support an Account-Based Marketing (ABM) model, leveraging Salesforce integrations and custom object configurations.
- Collaborate with marketing stakeholders to understand business outcomes and develop martech solutions that meet their requirements, including data pipelines and API integrations.
- Partner with Revenue Operations and Data teams to ensure access to best-in-class marketing analytics, reporting, and dashboards, utilizing tools like Snowflake for advanced data warehousing where applicable.
- Brief Customer Engagement Platform and CRM specialists on required technical changes, liaise with them to ensure alignment with scope, and validate implementations for data accuracy and compliance.
- Work with the Growth team and web development team to optimize tracking, analytics, and attribution, including pixel implementation, event tracking, and cross-tool data validation.
- Act as a trusted advisor, developing strong partnerships across all areas of marketing while advocating for martech best practices.
- Document existing processes and suggest improvements to optimize and scale with business growth, focusing on martech stack efficiency and integration health.
- Train business stakeholders on new processes, technology implementations, and martech tool usage, including Salesforce customizations and data management protocols.
- Advocate for data integrity, privacy, and marketing compliance, ensuring all martech configurations adhere to regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
- Continuously optimize our marketing technology stack to align with business goals by improving configurations, integrations, and data management of current systems, while providing recommendations for future software selections.
- Design and establish well-structured workflow systems to ensure seamless end-to-end delivery of campaigns and projects, with automated data flows and validation checkpoints.
