Overview

Senior Consultant – MarTech Strategy

As a Senior Consultant, you will shape and deliver marketing technology strategies that align with business objectives, enhance customer experiences, and drive digital transformation.

This role requires a strong blend of marketing technology expertise, strategic thinking, and client-facing consulting experience. You will translate complex business and marketing challenges into actionable technology strategies, providing objective recommendations on platforms, architecture, data capabilities, and emerging technologies. The focus is on strategy and advisory and not solely platform implementation or configuration.
