  Drive the transition toward Decision Architecture, ensuring AI agents across systems query a centralized authority layer for brand rules and budget constraints.
• Leadership & Governance:
  Act as the primary technical partner to the C-suite and product leadership to align engineering roadmaps with business growth objectives.
• Data Privacy & Compliance:
  Ensure all Mar Tech integrations adhere to global data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and internal security standards, particularly regarding AI data usage.

• AI/ML Proficiency:
  Proven experience integrating AI models into production environments, specifically for personalization, optimization, or automated content delivery.
• Data Architecture:
  Strong knowledge of data-to-decision pipelines, identity resolution, and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure).

• Innovation Mindset:
  Ability to anticipate shifts in the marketing landscape, such as the move toward the Agentic Web and AI-driven search.
• Stakeholder Management:
  Exceptional ability to translate complex technical architectures into business value for executive leadership.
