Job Level

About the role

  • Lead the architecture and delivery of a centralized, interoperable data foundation across Salesforce (CRM), AdPoint (OMS), Google Ad Manager (GAM), Meta, and other media platforms.
  • Design and govern APIs and services that enable seamless interoperability, campaign workflows, pacing, status tracking, delivery reporting, and discrepancy management.
  • Architect and oversee scalable data pipelines on Google Cloud into BigQuery (batch and near-real-time), ensuring monitoring, lineage, auditability, and SLA adherence.
  • Build and maintain a finance-grade reporting layer powering Looker and Domo; standardize and govern metric definitions (booked, delivered, billed, pacing, forecast, yield).
  • Drive automation of data ingestion, transformation, reconciliation, and quality controls to reduce manual processes and improve root-cause analysis.
  • Establish consistent identifiers, mapping rules, and entity resolution frameworks across systems to enable a single source of truth.
  • Lead and mentor a small NYC-based engineering team while coordinating sprint execution with outsourced development partners.
  • Partner closely with Revenue Operations, Finance, Marketing, and Product to prioritize roadmaps and deliver scalable, business-aligned solutions—including exploring AI/ML applications for anomaly detection, forecasting, deduplication, and operational automation.

Requirements

  • Deep experience (12+ years) in data architecture and/or data engineering, including hands-on work within ad tech or publisher revenue workflows.
  • Proven success integrating Salesforce, OMS platforms (AdPoint or similar), and Google Ad Manager to enable operational interoperability and reporting.
  • Strong understanding of ad operations data structures and processes (campaign hierarchies, trafficking, delivery, pacing, discrepancies).
  • Advanced expertise building data products on Google Cloud, with BigQuery as a core warehouse solution.
  • Strong SQL, canonical and dimensional data modeling skills, and a commitment to auditability and finance-grade accuracy.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams and deliver results using a combination of in-house and outsourced engineering resources.
  • Clear communicator who can translate complex technical concepts into business-aligned solutions; skilled in documentation including data contracts, runbooks, and architecture diagrams.
  • Experience with Looker modeling/semantic layers and/or Domo governance preferred.
  • Familiarity with GAM reporting APIs, log-level data, MDM/entity resolution, or applied AI/ML for automation and forecasting is a plus.
  • Ability to work in-office in New York City 4 days per week.
