Blend360
Job Description Blend 360 is partnering with a leading national telecommunications and media company to build a large-scale data intelligence platform. The platform combines first-party network, security, and media consumption signals from tens of millions of households to generate behavioral insights, audience segments, and predictive models for commercial and advertising applications. A key component of this initiative is the acquisition and integration of third-party outcome data that enriches the platform’s first-party signals. This role is central to that effort—owning the strategy, sourcing, negotiation, and integration of external data assets that power propensity models, audience analytics, and data monetization use cases.

ability to translate data marketplace concepts for both technical and business stakeholders - Hands-on experience with Snowflake Marketplace, including evaluating, trialing, and integrating data listings (e.g., Affinity Solutions, TransUnion TruIQ, Precisely, Acxiom, SafeGraph) - Experience with AWS Data Exchange, LiveRamp Data Store, or other data commerce platforms - Background in AdTech, media, telecom, or audience analytics industries - Experience working with clean room technologies (Snowflake Clean Rooms, Habu, InfoSum) for privacy-safe data collaboration - Familiarity with Snowflake architecture, data sharing, and native app capabilities - Understanding of propensity modeling, audience segmentation, or lookalike modeling as downstream consumers of acquired data - Experience working in a consulting or contractor engagement model Key Deliverables - Third-party data landscape assessment and acquisition strategy - Vendor shortlist with evaluation scorecards covering data quality, coverage, cost, match-rate potential, and novelty - Executed data licensing agreements for priority outcome data sources - Integrated third-party datasets available in the platform’s data warehouse, matched to household-level identifiers - Ongoing vendor relationship management and spend tracking - A pipeline of emerging and non-traditional data sources under evaluation for future integration Additional Information Compensation & Engagement Details - Competitive monthly rate commensurate with experience hourly rate ranging from $70 - $90 per hour - W-2 contractor position through Blend 360 with benefits eligibility - Remote-first work arrangement - Opportunity to shape a high-visibility data platform initiative at one of the largest telecommunications companies in the US
