Establish reusable frameworks and guardrails for templates, components, experimentation, personalization, and testing (A/B, multivariate, audience-based)-including measurement plans, KPI definitions, and decision criteria-to enable consistent, scalable implementation. Build enablement and self-serve operating models (playbooks, training, office hours, documentation) so marketers and partners can confidently leverage tagging and experimentation tooling with minimal hands-on support. Create and manage integrated delivery plans and execution rhythms (milestones, risks, dependencies, stakeholder comms) across engineering, marketing, analytics, and media-ensuring predictable delivery and clear ownership. Evaluate, pilot, and recommend new tooling/capabilities (platform features, partner solutions, automation) to improve digital data maturity, increase self-service, and reduce time-to-insight. Establish governance and data quality operating mechanisms (validation checks, SLAs, change control, versioning, monitoring dashboards) to ensure accuracy and consistency from source events through reporting, optimization signals, and downstream measurement use cases. Proactively identify instrumentation, data quality, privacy, or performance risks; coordinate triage and troubleshooting across teams to root-cause issues and drive durable fixes.
