About the Role

Are you ready to lead a marketing transformation through quality assurance and automation?

This role builds the data and automation backbone for TRA’s marketing operations — replacing manual Google Sheet processes, automating data cleaning, and enabling real-time reporting across all campaigns. This role ensures that marketing, analytics, and operations teams have accurate, unified, and AI-ready data from all sources (radio, digital ads, affiliates, CRM, etc.).

Core Responsibilities

Data Infrastructure & Integration

• Build and maintain data pipelines between ad platforms, CRM, and Supabase (or central database).
• Eliminate Google Sheets as secondary storage by migrating processes to structured databases.
• Set up automated syncing, deduplication, and validation workflows to ensure clean, reliable data.

Automation & Workflow Optimization

• Replace brittle Zapier automations with robust Supabase functions, Python scripts, or low-code backend workflows.
• Coordinate with AdOps and backend engineers to ensure smooth data ingestion, transformation, and delivery.
• Automate repetitive tasks like campaign tagging, data normalization, and monthly sales-ranking feeds.

AI-Driven Reporting

• Develop dashboards and automated reports that summarize campaign performance, ROI, CAC, and conversion trends.
• Use AI models or Python tools to automatically clean data, identify anomalies, and generate narrative summaries.
• Support leadership with predictive insights (e.g., lead quality trends, campaign saturation).

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with the marketing team, analyst, and AdOps to streamline reporting and tracking processes.
• Partner with engineering to ensure secure, scalable data access.
• Establish best practices for marketing data governance and documentation.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in marketing automation, analytics, or data engineering.
• Strong skills in Python, SQL, and data transformation (ETL/ELT).
• Experience with Supabase, BigQuery, or similar modern databases.
• Familiarity with ad platforms, Zapier, and API integrations.
• Exposure to AI/ML tools for reporting, data cleaning, or predictive analysis.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to data accuracy and automation reliability.
