The role will help mature Snowflake from campaign-specific tables and manual activation logic into reusable, trusted, and activation-ready data products, including Golden Account, Golden Contact, Segment Membership, Product Interest / Intent, Persona, Buying Committee Role, Consent / Suppression Eligibility, Engagement Score, Intent Intensity, Opportunity Context, Product Ownership, White-Space Opportunity, and Next-Best-Product Candidate. The ideal candidate combines analytics engineering, marketing technology fluency, web data architecture, data product discipline, and AI context-layer design.

- Build and manage governed AI context layers that make marketing data usable by LLMs, AI assistants, and agentic workflows, including curated metric definitions, audience attributes, content taxonomy, campaign metadata, web behavior signals, journey states, data lineage, approved business rules, confidence scores, and review thresholds.
- Develop data structures that connect website behavior to known and unknown audience profiles, including page views, content engagement, form interactions, conversion events, source attribution, session behavior, identity resolution inputs, and downstream Salesforce CRM outcomes.
- Partner with Digital Experience, Marketing Automation, Paid Media, Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, Legal / Compliance, Analytics, and Enterprise Data teams to define event-streaming, governance, and activation requirements from Zelis.com and related digital properties into Snowflake.
- Create durable data models that support identity resolution, golden account/contact attributes, engagement scoring, buyer-group intelligence, product interest history, lifecycle movement, product ownership, opportunity context, consent status, suppression logic, and channel eligibility rules.
- Build reusable activation datasets and reverse ETL requirements that send trusted, explainable, consent-safe data from Snowflake into downstream marketing destinations, including email automation, CRM, paid media, digital experience, and journey orchestration platforms.
- Establish data quality checks, reconciliation logic, monitoring routines, product SLAs, and exception handling for marketing data products, with emphasis on website events, campaign metadata, lead lifecycle data, audience membership, consent / suppression eligibility, identity confidence, and activation outputs.
- Support predictive lead qualification, intent scoring, attribution, MQL value, expansion opportunity, and next-best-action work by building clean feature tables, training-ready datasets, model output tables, and explainability-ready structures.
- Use AI-assisted development and analytics techniques to accelerate SQL generation, documentation, data testing, anomaly detection, metadata tagging, and first-pass data product design, while maintaining human review, governance, and quality standards.

- Ability to design and steward canonical marketing data objects such as Golden Account, Golden Contact, Segment Membership, Product Interest / Intent, Persona, Buying Committee Role, Consent / Suppression Eligibility, Engagement Score, Intent Intensity, Opportunity Context, Product Ownership, and White-Space Opportunity.
