Job Description & How to Apply Below
* ** Design and implement a robust data model that integrates data from core B2B systems, including Snowflake, Salesforce Data 360, multiple Salesforce orgs, Informatica MDM, and Amazon data lakes.**
* ** Design and evolve scalable end-to-end data architecture; define standards for data modeling, ingestion framework, pipelines, data quality, etc.**
* ** Architect tables and views to clearly define and calculate critical metrics (e.g., lead conversion, MQL, marketing driven pipe, ROI).**
* ** Translate business needs for marketing performance measurement, customer segmentation, targeting, and personalization into precise data requirements and model designs.

Translate functional and non-functional requirements (e.g., analytical performance, query latency, automation throughput) into optimal logical, conceptual, and physical data model designs.**
* ** Partner with Data Engineering to design data models that leverage advanced Snowflake features (e.g., clustering keys, materialized views, micro-partitions, time travel) to optimize query performance and cost efficiency.**
* ** Master the benefits and trade-offs of modeling on each platform, such as leveraging Snowflake's zero-copy data sharing vs. federating queries to S3.**
* ** Enforce rigorous data cataloging and metadata standards to ensure all marketing metrics have a single, unambiguous definition across the organization.**
* ** Master’s or Ph.D in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related quantitative field.**
* ** 10+ years of hands-on data modeling, data architecture, or database design experience.**
* ** 5+ years of experience designing and implementing large-scale Enterprise Data Warehouses.**
* ** Expert-level knowledge of dimensional modeling (Star/Snowflake schemas) and its application to business intelligence, reporting, and machine learning workloads including feature engineering for workloads such as attribution models, lead scoring, and propensity models.**
* ** Extensive experience with marketing data domains (e.g., campaign management, CRM, web analytics, attribution/marketing mix modeling, propensity modeling, forecasting, and optimization). Demonstrated ability to model complex business processes, including slowly changing dimensions and historical data tracking.**
* ** Proven, hands-on experience building and optimizing data models on a modern, cloud-native data warehouse platform, with deep expertise in Snowflake.**
* ** Advanced proficiency with SQL and DDL/DML, especially optimized for the Snowflake ecosystem. Familiarity with ETL tools (e.g., dbt, Fivetran), cloud services (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and how to design data models that optimize their performance.**
* ** Expert-level mastery of all major data modeling methodologies and implementation trade-offs between them such as 3NF (for applications), Data Vault (for integration layers), and Star/Snowflake schemas (for data science).**
* ** Deep experience modeling Master Data Management golden records and hierarchies, and integrating them with operational and analytical systems (e.g., Informatica MDM).**
* ** Experience implementing Data Mesh principles: domain ownership of data products, "data as a product" mindset with clear SLAs and documentation, and federated governance that balances central standards with domain autonomy.**
* ** Experience designing data models that support ML feature engineering, including feature stores and feature registries. Understanding of how data modeling decisions impact feature freshness, model training pipelines, and real-time inference.**
* ** A proven track record of partnering directly with Data Engineering, Data Science, and Machine Learning Engineering teams to deliver data models that meet their specific needs. Must thrive in a high-velocity environment with rapid iteration cycles and be able to balance governance requirements with engineering agility.**
* ** Experience partnering with Data Governance teams to ensure models are compliant, secure, and integrated with the enterprise data catalog.**
* ** Exceptional communication skills. The ability to lead technical design discussions and articulate complex technical concepts and implementation…
