- Lead the management and integration of websites, brand tools, PIM, DAM, and marketing workflow platforms, ensuring data flows cleanly across the funnel.
- Design and govern CRM integrations and data connections between marketing platforms and downstream systems to enable a unified customer view.
- Establish and enforce cookie/consent and data privacy controls, partnering with Legal and Privacy to meet global regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
- Align platform delivery to Pentair’s existing IT processes, change management, security baselines, and compliance standards.
- Monitor and report on platform health, performance, adoption, and compliance metrics, proactively addressing issues and opportunities.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, brand, security, and infrastructure teams to align digital marketing technology with broader business goals.
- Maintain and evolve documentation for configurations, integrations, procedures, and standards to support operational excellence and audit readiness.
- Champion user experience for both marketing teams and end customers, gathering feedback and implementing enhancements that improve productivity and engagement.

Key Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, Marketing Technology, or a related field.
- 7+ years of experience delivering and integrating digital marketing / martech platforms, including experience serving as a technical lead on projects or platforms.

- Strong understanding of CRM integration, APIs, data integration frameworks, and cloud platforms.
- Demonstrated experience leading platform migrations, replatforming, or martech modernization efforts.
- Working knowledge of data privacy and consent regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and how they translate into platform controls.
- Experience managing external vendors and contractors.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with a proactive and strategic mindset.
