Description
About the Role
Fortune Media is building a modern, data-driven marketing technology practice from the ground up. This is an early and foundational hire on a new martech team — a rare opportunity to define how data flows, behaves, and is governed across our customer-facing systems.
You'll sit at the intersection of data engineering and marketing operations: designing the pipelines, definitions, and governance structures that connect Salesforce Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud today, and that will scale into a broader CDP and ESP ecosystem over the next 12– 24 months . You won't just maintain the systems — you'll help architect what they become.
This role reports to the Director of Martech & CRM and works closely with marketing, technology, editorial, events, and revenue operations stakeholders.
What You'll Own
Data Architecture & Flows
• Design, build, and maintain data pipelines between Salesforce Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud and any future ESPs , and adjacent systems (event platforms, subscription tools, analytics layers)
• Ensure reliable and performant data syncs within the integration architecture between Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud Connect and any future ESP and tools
• Evaluate and help implement future ESP and CDP tooling, defining how data enters, moves through, and exits each system
• Document all data flows, field mappings, and transformation logic in a centralized, accessible way
Data Governance & Definitions
• Establish and maintain a data dictionary: canonical definitions for contacts, leads, accounts, subscribers, and audience segments across systems
• Enforce data quality standards — deduplication rules, field validation, consent flags, suppression logic — with an eye toward a unified customer "golden record"
• Partner with the Salesforce Developer to ensure custom objects, fields, and automations conform to governance standards
• Champion compliance hygiene: CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and opt-in/opt-out data integrity across all marketing sends
Analytics & Measurement
• Build and maintain reporting frameworks for email performance, audience health, list growth, and data quality metrics
• Surface actionable insights to marketing and revenue stakeholders — deliverability trends, segment performance, data decay, contact coverage gaps
• Support attribution modeling and funnel reporting as Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud mature
Stakeholder Partnership
• Serve as the internal expert and translator between marketing operations, engineering, and business stakeholders on data questions
• Work with the Marketing Cloud Solutions Architect on technical implementation decisions
• Contribute to vendor evaluation and RFP processes as the team considers CDP and ESP investments
What You Bring
Required
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex, high-scale engineering problems through clean, efficient code. Strong proficiency in at least one major programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Java) beyond basic scripting for data manipulation.
• System Design & Distributed Architecture:
• Expertise in designing scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems.
• Deep understanding of system design trade-offs (e.g., CAP theorem, latency vs. throughput, synchronous vs. asynchronous processing) in the context of enterprise data pipelines.
• Advanced Data Modeling: Beyond SQL proficiency , candidates should have a deep understanding of NoSQL vs. Relational schemas and how to optimize data structures for high-performance retrieval in a CDP/CRM environment.
• 2 –6 years of experience in a data , data engineering , marketing operations, or martech -focused role
• Hands-on experience with Salesforce Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud — you understand how the two systems connect and where they break
• Fluency in SQL; ability to query, transform, and validate data independently
• Working knowledge of data governance concepts: data dictionaries, lineage, deduplication, and master data management principles
• Experience designing or maintaining data integrations (APIs, connectors, ETL/ELT pipelines)
• Strong documentation instincts — you leave systems better-understood than you found them
• Comfort operating in ambiguity; this team is new and the roadmap is actively being shaped
Preferred
• Experience with Marketing Cloud Connect and Synchronized Data Extensions
• Knowledge of email deliverability fundamentals (sender reputation, list hygiene, ISP feedback loops)
• Exposure to ESP migration or evaluation projects
• Familiarity with CDP platforms (Salesforce Data Cloud, Segment, or similar) preferred
• Salesforce certification (e.g., Marketing Cloud Email Specialist, Administrator, or Data Cloud) preferred
• Experience in a media, publishing, or subscription business preferred
