WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
The Customer Data & Identity Specialist is responsible for defining, maintaining, and optimizing the unified customer profile across the organization’s CDP. This role owns the data schema, data quality processes, identity resolution rules, and the business-ready data model that fuels analytics, activation, and personalization.

Reporting to the Digital Analytics Manager, the Specialist ensures that customer data provided by Enterprise Data team is accurately mapped, standardized, unified, and made activation ready across marketing and analytics platforms.

• Ensure data quality, including data freshness, completeness, and accuracy across all sources, diagnose and resolve data discrepancies between source systems and the CDP.
• Manage identity resolution rules (stitching) to ensure correct merging of customer identifiers (Email, Cookies, IDs) across channels and devices.
• Partner with Digital Analytics, Martech, CRM, and Enterprise Architects to define requirements for data pipelines, ensuring incoming data is "activation-ready" for marketing use cases.
• Manage website behavior data collection, tagging requirements, and data standardization regarding the CDP
• Ensure proper ingestion, normalization, and mapping of web, CRM, and offline customer data.
• Support the CDP Platform Lead to orchestrate segment distribution to website personalization, email, media platforms and other activation channels and ensure proper governance of segment names, logic, and usage.
• Design the scoring algorithm (weights, thresholds, decays), technically build and operationalize the score calculation and ensure scoring outputs are available to CRM, CDP, analytics, and activation systems.
• Support compliance and data governance to ensure proper handling of customer data.
