This is a hands-on technical leadership role (not a people-management position); you will set technical direction, mentor peers, and guide contractors while partnering closely with Marketing, Brand, Legal/Privacy, and IT teams to deliver secure, scalable, integrated solutions and lead the transition off legacy platforms toward a modern, future-ready martech stack.

• 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.
• Hands-on expertise across web content management, PIM, DAM, consent management, and marketing workflow tools.
• 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.
