• Optimize data warehouse performance to support analytical needs and near‑real‑time marketing activations.
• Prepare and transform raw data into clean, documented, and usable datasets to fuel AI models, recommendation engines, advanced segmentation, and personalized activations.
• Act as a technical reference for marketing data flows, support the integration of new Martech platforms, and contribute to the rapid resolution of data‑related incidents.

• Advanced proficiency in SQL and strong experience with at least one cloud data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery).
• Excellent command of a scripting language, preferably Python, and experience with data orchestration and transformation tools (e.g., Airflow, Prefect, dbt).
• Strong understanding of marketing data sources (Google Analytics, Google Ads, CRM, media platforms) is a significant asset.
• Excellent proficiency with MS Office tools (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams) and demonstrated ease with collaborative digital tools and AI solutions (e.g., Copilot); ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies.
