• Collaborate with the internal team to define, design, and configure the behavioral event taxonomy and tracking plan.
• Configure lookup logic, null‑handling, and cross‑catalog queries to support efficient data retrieval.
• Build reusable snippet frameworks in Iterable’s Handlebars templating engine and produce a reference email template demonstrating multi‑catalog functionality.
• Develop a Snippet Playbook covering naming conventions, lookup patterns, null‑handling standards, troubleshooting guidance, and implementation examples.
• Configure CDP‑to‑Iterable integration (native connector, webhook, or API as determined), including field mapping, deduplication, validation, and error‑handling logic.
• Perform end‑to‑end testing, produce a Data Flow Diagram and QA report, and deliver recorded handoff walkthroughs for each workstream.

• Validated multi‑catalog schemas in Iterable.
• Reference multi‑catalog email template.
• Snippet Playbook documentation.
• Configured CDP and CDP‑to‑Iterable data pipeline.
• Data Flow Diagram and QA Test Report.

• Milestone 2 – CDP Configuration & Iterable Integration: approval of tracking plan, CDP event and attribute configuration, operational CDP‑to‑Iterable data transmission, testing of ingestion and audience qualification, documented error handling.
• Milestone 3 – QA, Documentation & Handoff: end‑to‑end testing, QA report, finalized Data Flow Diagram, full implementation documentation, and recorded walkthroughs.

• 2+ years hands‑on Iterable experience with catalog management and template development.

• Experience integrating a CDP with Iterable via API, webhook, or native connector.
