We’re hiring a Director, Pro Business Digital Acceleration to lead hands-on delivery of modern growth capabilities for our Professional (Salon) business across Wella and ghd. This is a technical, cross-functional leadership role, turning marketing and revenue priorities into shipped, measurable outcomes across MarTech, data, experimentation, CRM, personalization, commerce and content/GenAI operations. You’ll bring modern tech knowledge, including building connected data foundations and API/microservices-based integrations, to enable business results across an omnichannel growth strategy.
- Stand up and run cross-functional growth squads (Product, Engineering, Data/Analytics, DS/ML, UXR, Marketing/Commercial) with clear OKRs tied to commercial outcomes.
- Ship and scale 2–4 lighthouse journeys/use cases (e.g., pro onboarding, education-to-purchase, high-intent triggers) with rigorous readouts.
- Build strong measurement and experimentation foundations (event taxonomy, KPI tree, A/B + incrementality cadence, dashboards that inform budget/roadmap decisions).
- Activate and industrialize shared platform capabilities: CDP, personalization, CRM/journeys, server-side tagging/consent, attribution, commerce optimization, retail media enablement, and GenAI content operations.
- Create reusable “packs” (instrumentation specs, audience/journey templates, CRO test templates, reporting dashboards) to speed market delivery while reducing total cost of ownership.
- Ensure governance-compliant delivery (privacy-by-design, security, AI guardrails) and clear swim lanes: Marketing owns strategy and channel execution; this role owns enabling capabilities, integration, and outcomes.
What we’re looking for: 10+ years in growth engineering, marketing technology, or digital product roles; proven ability to lead hands-on teams to deliver measurable outcomes; deep understanding of end-to-end MarTech/data/commerce systems and integrations (including connected data layers and service/API-based architectures); strong experimentation, analytics, and measurement rigor (SQL/Python a plus); and excellent cross-functional partnering with Marketing, Commercial, and platform owners.
