About Choreograph : A Leading WPP Media Brand

Choreograph is WPP’s global data products and technology company. We’re on a mission to transform marketing by building the fastest, most connected data platform that bridges marketing strategy to scaled activation. We work with agencies and clients to transform the value of data by bringing together technology, data and analytics capabilities. We deliver this through the Open Media Studio, an AI-enabled media and data platform for the next era of advertising. We’re endlessly curious. Our team of thinkers, builders, creators and problem solvers are over 1,000 strong, across 20 markets around the world.

Who We Are Looking For

• You will oversee, and be accountable for, the technical implementation of our Activation products, ensuring that our end-to-end architecture both scales and evolves in line with the use cases they support.
• You will work very closely with the VP Product for the Activation product area to ensure our systems are fit for purposes through a nuanced understanding of the business context and the factors that drive the product life cycle.
• You will co-define (with the VP Product) the objectives and key results within the Activation product area and ensure that all staff in this product area are aligned to these objectives.
• You will work closely with the VP Engineering & VP Product leads across the other product areas in the business to ensure cohesion (through application topology awareness) between our systems and that our collective delivery delivers against Choreograph’s business objectives.
• You will provide guidance, rooted in experience, for engineering best practice across our product areas.
• You will occasionally provide designs and solutions for critical projects that allow the development teams to deliver software on time and to agree functional and non-functional specifications.
• You will regularly provide technical leadership to make sure that the designs are implemented using appropriate tools and techniques.
• You will influence the management of technical debt across projects, making the right calls between balancing pragmatic delivery and compromising implementation patterns.
• You will help guard our central SRE practice and ensure adoption within the Activation product area.
• You will drive innovation; coaching engineers to experiment and choose appropriate technologies to fit into our ecosystem - this requires you to be an expert authority on data architecture & engineering tools, techniques and patterns.
• You will stay on top of data cloud costs accrued in our projects and prioritize optimizations when costs exceed expectations.
• You will be the senior contact / escalation point for engineering people issues in the Activation product area, including defining roles, hiring and working with operational leads to effectively onboard new team members.
• You will engage with RFI processes during new customer engagements, provide a technical steer, high level estimations and produce design documents.
