Director of Marketing Technology; MarTech Strategy

Job Description

Sandisk is seeking a strategic leader to define the vision, roadmap, and evolution of our global marketing technology (Mar Tech) ecosystem, transforming it into a world‑class platform that accelerates our premium brand.

This is a pivotal role that will define how technology enables Sandisk to operate as a modern, scaled, and consumer‑centric marketing organization. You will be responsible for shaping the Mar Tech strategy, and related roadmap, that allows the business to operate as a single global system, personalize at scale, and adapt faster than market and consumer shifts. As well as shepherding the implementation, adoption, and measurement of the impact of the Mar Tech strategy.

This is not an IT role—it is a marketing leadership role that sits at the center of global marketing. You will partner closely with IT but own the marketing vision for how technology, platforms, and AI capabilities enable marketing execution.

You will work across global and regional marketing teams: operations, ecommerce, website, brand, packaging, and NPI to ensure technology is enabling scale, speed, and impact. Ultimately, the goal of this role is to dramatically expand capacity and accelerate performance by augmenting how teams create, execute, and optimize marketing‑ and provide transparency on the efficacy of various marketing assets being created and disseminated around the world.

This position will report to the Sr. Director, Global Digital and Store.
