Highly Preferred Technical Experience
Candidates with direct experience across the Adobe MarTech stack should receive particular attention, especially:
Adobe Real-Time CDP
Adobe Journey Optimizer
Customer Journey Analytics
Additional valuable experience includes:
Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Customer 360
Customer profile management
Data integrations
Privacy and consent management
Enterprise data governance
Healthcare / Payer Experience
Because healthcare plan/payer knowledge is specifically required , I would prioritize candidates who have worked for or consulted with:
Health plans
Health insurance organizations
Payers
Managed care organizations
Medicare/Medicaid organizations
Large healthcare enterprises with health plan operations
The strongest candidate would combine this payer knowledge with experience implementing customer/member data and marketing technology solutions .
Ideal Candidate Profile
The strongest candidate is likely a Solution Consultant, Senior Business Systems Analyst, MarTech Solution Consultant, CDP Consultant, Solution Analyst, Technical Business Analyst, or Digital Marketing Technology Consultant who has worked at the intersection of business requirements and enterprise technology.
They should understand enough about CDP/MarTech architecture to have credible conversations with engineers and architects, but the role does not appear to be looking for a hands-on software developer .
For resume review, I would prioritize candidates who can demonstrate a progression such as:
Business need → requirements/discovery → logical solution design → data/integration requirements → engineering handoff → testing → implementation
That lifecycle experience is more important than someone who has simply used Marketo or Adobe products as an end user.
Candidates I Would Avoid
I would be cautious with candidates who are primarily:
Marketing campaign managers with no technical solution experience.
Marketo campaign developers without broader CDP/data architecture knowledge.
Pure data analysts.
Software developers without business-facing requirements experience.
Traditional Business Analysts who have no CDP, MarTech, Customer 360, or customer-data experience.
Adobe specialists who have no healthcare payer experience, if the health plan requirement is firm.
Project Managers whose experience is primarily schedule/budget management rather than requirements and solution design.
