Should also be knowledgeable in developing reports to aid in communicating needs with the data.

  Complexity: Understanding data fields and develop recommendations for better ways to structure the data to solve problems will be key.  Because Aptean has a broad product portfolio, we have complexity in our data that we use to segment to market to a number of different verticals, and the candidate should be comfortable with complexity in the data itself as well as its structure.  Exercises judgment in selecting methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. Networks with key contacts outside own area of expertise.

  Supervision: Should be able to work with limited supervision.  Exercises some latitude in recommending approaches to critical assignments. Strong communicator on progress of initiatives/tasks and on recommendations. 

  Interaction: Primary interaction will be across the Marketing Operations and Sales Operations functions focused on our data but will have some broader interaction than that and needs to be comfortable reaching out across multiple groups to drive or suggest recommended data and/or structure changes.

About you

1. Work in our data orchestration tool, RingLead, to manage our data. This includes:
   1. Cleansing data (removing duplicates, matching and converting Leads to Accounts, etc.)
   2. Transforming data (setting one field based on another, formatting data entries, etc.)
   3. Updating data (corrections to fields, reassigning accounts, etc.)
   4. Enriching records (enriching Leads, Contacts, and Accounts with firmographic and demographic information)
   5. Routing Leads (assigning Leads and Contacts based on territories)
2. Establish (and run) processes and tool linkages to clean the data
   1. This is both for standard data that can be automated and for manual data that we manually pull from various sources.
   2. Establish regular cycles to update existing data. Need to determine timing, processes, etc. for anything where there’s not an automated tool.
   3. Identify new processes / sources as needed for new data and/or to create relationship structure around existing data (e.g. identifying accounts that are related to each other as separate locations of the same company)
   4. Building infrastructure / database structure – Beyond firmographic information that can be automated with linking a tool, this person needs to identify solutions to structure data in a way that it is meaningful and usable by Marketing and Sales (such as for the account locations that need to be tied to each other). This will include identifying structure and fields for each of these as well as new sources to populate those new fields either via automation or manual processes.
   5. Manual data cleaning – this person will also be responsible for some of the data cleaning.  For instance if a new structure is created for the example of relating accounts to each other, this person would need to pull the data, populate the new information to determine what the new fields should be and then update those via data uploads
   6. Reporting – Creating reports to communicate the state of the data.
