The Role
This position reports to a Director, Technical Implementations, on the team that takes every new Measured client from signed contract to a fully connected, fully loaded, and QA'd data foundation — owning the entire onboarding journey from source connections through historical ingestion, normalization, and output QA. As a Senior Technical Implementations Specialist, you will own discrete workstreams within our largest enterprise engagements and own lower-complexity client onboardings end to end, sitting directly with client data engineering and marketing program teams to explain precisely what Measured needs and why, then building it yourself. Just as importantly, you will act as a consultant to clients on preparing their data to meet Measured's model requirements — representing in detail how our product and models actually consume data, and using that expertise to judge where a requirement is firm because the model breaks without it, and where a practical tradeoff costs little. Knowing that difference, explaining it, and standing behind the call is central to this role.
This role suits a seasoned, genuinely client-facing implementation professional who is hands-on with data — someone who leads client working sessions with confidence today and is on a path toward owning full enterprise onboardings start to finish tomorrow, with a Director remaining accountable for the overall program as you build toward that.
At Measured, we equip every team member with best-in-class technology to fuel extraordinary outcomes. We expect our team to continuously evolve alongside these tools, using AI as a partner for momentum and innovation — raising the bar on everything we build. Our people own the final voice, judgment, and accountability behind every deliverable.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
Onboarding Delivery & Workstream Ownership

Own named workstreams within enterprise onboardings (source connections, historical ingestion, normalization specs, QA) under a Director, or own end-to-end onboarding for lower-complexity clients from kickoff through dashboard-ready output

Build and maintain a shared delivery plan for your workstreams — dependencies, owners, dates, blockers — and drive them to committed go-live dates while running several concurrent onboardings without dropping threads

Surface scope, data-quality, and timeline risk early, with a recommendation attached rather than just a flag

Data Requirements Consultancy & Model Readiness

Act as the client's consultant on preparing data to meet Measured's model requirements — advising on structure, granularity, historical depth, and field-level detail so gaps are designed out rather than discovered at QA

Distinguish firm requirements from acceptable tradeoffs, make and defend those calls in the moment with a clear account of what's gained and given up, and push back on requests that would compromise model integrity by offering a workable alternative

Judge whether a client data limitation is a genuine blocker or manageable caveat and set expectations before go-live; escalate precedent-setting tradeoffs to your Director with a recommendation

Data Source Connection & Historical Ingestion

Scope each client's required feeds (media/vendor cost, transaction/source-of-truth, organic, custom), determine the right ingestion method, and stand up connections across APIs, file-based feeds, warehouse shares, and direct integrations

Land the full history each feed requires — not just go-forward — and prove completeness against the client's own reporting

Diagnose ingestion failures (auth, schema drift, partial files, delivery gaps, silent upstream changes), partner with client-side engineers and vendors to resolve them, and establish monitoring so feeds stay healthy post-go-live

Data Normalization & Specification

Author and maintain the specification layers mapping raw client data into Measured's normalized model, translating inconsistent naming and taxonomy into structured, rules-driven mappings

Assess every spec change for downstream impact before it goes live, and balance client-specific accuracy against patterns reusable across the book of business

Document mapping logic and the reasoning behind judgment calls so the next person can maintain it

QA & Output Validation

Own QA for your workstreams — the data isn't done until it ties out against client source-of-truth, vendor exports, and upstream feed tables

Write advanced SQL to validate transformations, surface anomalies, quantify variance, and isolate root cause

Define and document acceptance criteria, and sign off with a written statement of coverage, known gaps, and caveats

Client Partnership & Communication

Serve as a credible, trusted technical presence for client stakeholders across marketing, analytics, and data engineering, representing Measured with polish in front of enterprise stakeholders, including in difficult conversations

Independently lead client-facing working sessions (discovery, spec reviews, QA walkthroughs, go-live readiness), translating technical requirements into terms marketers can act on and vice versa

Manage client expectations on timelines and dependencies with transparency, and gather/synthesize client feedback to inform product and onboarding improvements

Subject Matter Expertise & Technical Depth

Develop deep expertise in Measured's data pipelines, normalization layers, and platform architecture, and become the go-to expert on specific feed types, vendor integrations, or client verticals

Understand incrementality testing and media mix modeling well enough to know why the data has to be shaped the way it is, maintaining a working command of what each Measured product requires from the data — and the reasoning behind it — so client guidance is grounded in the model rather than convention

Stay current on product roadmap and platform changes that affect how client data must be prepared, partnering with Product and Engineering to translate technical architecture into client-facing guidance

Serve as the internal reference point when data-requirements questions arrive from Sales, Solutions, and Customer Success

Contribute to technical documentation, implementation runbooks, and internal training materials, and represent the implementation perspective in cross-functional initiatives and product development discussions

Knowledge Management, Documentation & Peer Enablement

Create and maintain implementation runbooks, spec-writing standards, onboarding playbooks, and process documentation

Document recurring data issues with root cause analysis and prevention strategies

Share hard-won client and feed knowledge so no onboarding depends on one person's memory

Serve as a second pair of eyes for peers on complex specs and QA logic

Ensure documentation stays current with product and pipeline changes

Model excellence in client communication, technical depth, and operational discipline

Process Improvement & Repeatability

Streamline onboarding by automating manual, repeated, or error-prone steps, and build reusable templates, spec patterns, and validation queries that shorten time-to-value for future clients.

Improve quality and scalability by catching requirements gaps at discovery rather than QA, surfacing cross-client issues as product/pipeline asks, and partnering with your Director and VP, Technical Implementations, on strategic initiatives like data health monitoring, proactive alerting, QA frameworks, and applying agentic AI approaches across operations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with Customer Success on onboarding status, launch readiness, and client health; support Sales and Solutions during technical scoping and pre-sales data-feasibility discussions

Work with Engineering and Data Science on pipeline changes, ingestion defects, and model-readiness of client data, and with Product to communicate client pain points, feature requests, and usability feedback

File and shepherd well-specified internal requests — with sample rows and expected behavior — so downstream teams can act without a follow-up round, and contribute to cross-functional projects that improve onboarding experience and platform reliability

Ideal Experience
Required Experience

5+ years of experience in technical implementation, data onboarding, solutions consulting, or technical account management in B2B SaaS, ideally with enterprise clients

3+ years in a directly client-facing role owning technical delivery with external stakeholders

Extensive client-facing experience - comfortable leading working sessions, spec reviews, and candid timeline conversations with enterprise stakeholders, and equally comfortable doing the hands-on data work yourself
