This role acts as the regional architect of our data-driven ecosystem, bridging the gap between technical infrastructure and commercial growth.

 

 

Scope of Responsibilities

  • Regional Data Stewardship: Act as the primary custodian of consumer and professional data models for SSA, ensuring data integrity, privacy compliance (POPIA/GDPR), and global alignment.

  • Unified Experience (CCX/PCX): Oversee the strategic integration of Consumer Experience and Professional Experience (e.g., dental professionals) into a single, cohesive data and marketing automation framework.

2. Performance Analytics & Data Measurement

  • Partner with Business Intelligence (BI) teams to build comprehensive dashboards that track the holistic consumer/professional journey.

  • Integrate diverse data sets—including Syndicated Data (Nielsen), Retailer POS Data, and 1st Party Data—to provide a 360-degree view of business performance.

  • Drive the "Measurement Framework" for SSA, setting KPIs for acquisition costs, lifetime value (LTV), and engagement health.

3. CCX & PCX Activation

  • Develop data-driven segmentation strategies to deliver personalized content to consumers and dental professionals at scale.

  • Architect the "Professional-to-Consumer" referral loop, ensuring that professional recommendations (PCX) are captured and nurtured within the consumer ecosystem (CCX).

  • Oversee the functional requirements for new digital tools, ensuring they solve specific SSA market challenges while remaining globally compliant.

4. Strategic Business Partnering

  • Translate complex data insights into actionable commercial recommendations for the SSA Leadership Team.

  • Facilitate "Test-and-Learn" agendas to optimize media spend and CRM effectiveness.

  • Manage regional agency relationships specifically focused on data management and marketing automation.

 

 

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Education: Honours degree in Marketing, Business, Information Technology, or a highly analytical field (e.g., Statistics, Data Science).

  • Experience: * Minimum 8 years of experience in Digital Marketing, CRM, or Business Intelligence within the FMCG or Healthcare sector.

    • Proven track record in managing complex data ecosystems and marketing technology (MarTech) stacks.
