Job Description
Senior CDP Strategy Consultant
BlastX Consulting
Is this you? You have spent years doing hands-on Adobe Real-Time CDP work inside a consulting firm, agency, or system integrator. Not vendor-side. Not embedded at a single client. You have delivered CDP engagements across multiple clients, owned the work from strategy through activation, and been the expert in the room. You know RT-CDP deeply. You have designed XDM schemas, resolved identity conflicts, built audience strategies, and activated segments to real destinations for real clients. You are good at it and you know it. But you are ready for more ownership. More say in how a practice is built. More direct relationships with clients who actually listen. And less time being one of hundreds of consultants in a structure that makes it hard to see the impact of your own work. This role is open to US-based candidates only. We cannot provide visa sponsorship now or in the future. If you require sponsorship to work in the United States, this is not the right opportunity. If that sounds like where you are, keep reading. What You Will Do At BlastX Consulting, you will own CDP engagements from strategy through activation. That means working directly with clients from day one, not supporting someone else's work. You will be the expert in the room. On any given week you might be designing XDM schemas and identity resolution strategy for one client, leading an audience activation workshop for another, and reviewing a scope of work for a third. The variety is real and so is the accountability. Specifically you will: - Lead CDP strategy engagements including platform selection, architecture design, use case prioritization, and activation roadmaps - Configure and govern Adobe RT-CDP, including schema design, audience segmentation, identity resolution, merge policies, and destination activation - Design and execute audience activation strategies across marketing, advertising, and personalization channels - Advise clients on data governance, privacy compliance, consent management, and identity strategy - Build CDP maturity roadmaps for clients at all stages, from first implementation to advanced real-time personalization - Author scopes of work, solution design documents, and technical specifications - Mentor junior team members and contribute to practice-wide standards and frameworks - Contribute thought leadership through blog posts, webinars, or client-facing content What You Bring This is not an entry-level or advisory-only role. You need to have actually built things in the platform. - Hands-on experience with Adobe Real-Time CDP, including building audiences and activating customer data - 5+ years working with CDPs in a consulting, agency, or client-facing environment - Strong understanding of audience strategy and activation, with the ability to translate business needs into effective CDP solutions - Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and business stakeholders, and build trust with client teams. You’re as comfortable in a client conversation as you are in the platform. - Proven ability to lead client conversations, influence decisions, and translate CDP capabilities into business value Required: - 5 or more years of hands-on experience with Adobe Experience Platform and Adobe Real-Time CDP in a consulting, agency, or system integrator context - Demonstrated experience with XDM schema design, identity resolution, audience segmentation, merge policies, and destination activation - Ability to lead client engagements independently, including stakeholder management, scope definition, and delivery ownership - Strong communication skills across both technical and business audiences - US-based and able to commit to a permanent home location (not a digital nomad arrangement) Strongly preferred: - Multi-platform CDP experience including Tealium, Hightouch, or similar tools - Experience with Adobe Journey Optimizer, Customer Journey Analytics, or Adobe Analytics - Familiarity with composable CDP architectures and reverse ETL tools - Adobe RT-CDP or AEP certifications Why BlastX BlastX is a boutique digital consultancy. We are intentionally smaller, more senior, and more focused. Our team of consultants works across analytics, MarTech, and digital experience, and we have been doing it for over 25 years. What that means for you in this role: - You will work directly with clients, not through layers of account management - You will have influence over how the CDP practice grows, not just execute inside it - You are joining a team of seniors, not managing juniors while seniors take the credit - We are certified as a Great Place to Work and have been since 2019 We are fully remote across the US. We do ask that you work from your home location consistently. This role is not a fit for candidates who are frequently moving or traveling as a lifestyle choice. Compensation & Benefits Salary Range: $120,000 - $160,000 USD annually DOE We offer a competitive salary based on experience and a supportive, challenging, and fun work environment to ensure teamwork, productivity, and teammate happiness. We offer a flexible PTO policy, 60% employer paid medical insurance coverage options, 100% employer paid dental and vision insurance, 401k 4% company matching, profit sharing, education assistance, paid parental leave, performance-based salary increases, and year-end incentive bonuses. Ready to Apply? We review every application carefully. If you move forward, expect a process that includes a real conversation about your CDP experience, a technical discussion, and time with the hiring manager. We move thoughtfully because the right match matters to both sides. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship now or in the future. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship. BlastX Consulting is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are not interested in placement agencies or companies at this time. BlastX Consulting is an “at-will” employer. Compensation, benefits, and job descriptions are subject to change based on individual performance and business conditions. BlastX Consulting is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO). #LI-remote
