Technical Project Manager, Marketing Data & Analytics (Data Ops)

Job Summary: Talent Software Services is in search of a Tech Program Manager - Marketing Data Ops for a contract position in Redmond, WA. The opportunity will be one year with a strong chance for a long‑term extension.

Position Summary: We are seeking a Technical Project Manager with a strong data development background to help bridge the gap between our data engineering teams and marketing stakeholders. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, marketing operations, and privacy, ensuring that data platforms and dashboards are designed to scale, tell meaningful stories, and directly support marketing decision‑making. Our data engineering foundation is strong—we’ve built centralized data warehouses, integrated multiple marketing data sources (web, email, and more), and implemented a modern semantic layer and data fabric architecture.

The next phase is value realization: ensuring the data we’ve built is usable, scalable, and aligned with real marketing needs. This role exists to ask the right questions early, challenge assumptions on both sides, and prevent downstream surprises.

• Translate marketing strategies and use cases into clear, actionable data requirements
• Ensure data engineers understand how data will be used, not just what needs to be built
• Partner with analytics and BI teams to evolve dashboards from static scorecards into insight‑driven storytelling tools

• Manage end‑to‑end delivery of marketing data initiatives across engineering, analytics, and business teams
• Anticipate scale, latency, data volume, and freshness needs before pipelines are built Challenge Assumptions on Both Sides
  • Question data engineering designs related to:
    • Data grain, scale, and performance
    • Semantic definitions and metric consistency
    • Pipeline architecture vs. actual usage patterns
  • Question marketing requirements related to:
    • Feasibility and data availability
    • Privacy, consent, and regulatory constraints
    • Long‑term scalability vs. short‑term requests
  Enable Data Storytelling and Business Impact
  • Partner with analytics teams to ensure dashboards answer real business questions:
    • What happened?
    • Why did it happen?
    • What should we do next?
  • Advocate for end users (marketers, analysts, leaders) in data product design
  Participate in Privacy, Governance, and Compliance Reviews
  • Collaborate with engineering, legal, and privacy teams during data and product reviews
  • Ensure marketing use cases are privacy‑aware and compliant by design
  • Balance innovation, speed, and regulatory responsibility
  Qualifications
  • Experience in data development, analytics engineering, or data engineering
  • Strong understanding of Data Ops principles and modern data platforms
  • Hands‑on experience working with:
    • Data warehouses
    • Marketing data sources (web, email, campaign, customer data)
    • Semantic layers and analytics tooling
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders
  Preferred
  • Experience supporting marketing, growth, or customer analytics teams
  • Familiarity with marketing data concepts such as:
    • Audience and data segmentation
    • Attribution and performance measurement
    • Activation and downstream consumption
  • Experience participating in privacy, governance, or compliance initiatives
  • Is a self‑starter who does not wait to be told what to do
  • Actively asks questions and challenges assumptions early
  • Is comfortable operating in ambiguity and cross‑functional environments
  • Brings ideas, opinions, and suggestions—not just status updates
  • Takes ownership of outcomes, not just timelines
  • This role requires someone who is energized by collaboration, complexity, and building systems that truly work for the business.
  • This position plays a critical role in ensuring that our marketing data platform:
    • Scales with business growth
    • Avoids costly rework and surprises
    • Produces insights that drive action—not just reports
    • Aligns technical excellence with real marketing impact
