● Collaborate with marketing teams to ensure UTM tracking and tag management implementations align with digital marketing goals and reporting frameworks.

● Ensure that marketing and tracking implementations do not negatively impact wider site performance, such as page load times and overall site speed.

2. Governance and Documentation:

● Establish governance frameworks for tracking and data collection, ensuring alignment with data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and consistency across all platforms.

● Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for GTM, data layers, server-side tracking solutions, and the specific implementations necessary for accurate marketing attribution.

● Develop privacy and security governance documents to ensure that tracking implementations follow best practices for data protection, security, and compliance.

3. Mentorship and Leadership:

● Provide guidance and mentorship to the Technical Web Analyst on best practices for tracking implementations.

● Proven track record of implementing and managing complex tracking systems for the measurement of digital marketing performance.

● Strong expertise in GA4 implementation, including setting up data layers, configuring marketing tags, and debugging tracking issues to ensure proper marketing attribution.

● Experience with SQL, particularly within Google BigQuery, to query large datasets for marketing performance analysis.

● Deep understanding of digital marketing metrics, campaign tracking, and performance analysis across SEO, PPC, and other digital channels.

● Proficiency in integrating analytics systems with Google Cloud tools (BigQuery, Looker Studio, Cloud Functions) to support wider business and marketing performance reporting.

● Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot tracking and data collection issues.
