• Enable multichannel messaging and advanced personalisation using Canvas Flow, Liquid and Connected Content.
• Manage testing, cutover, launch support, documentation and operational handover.
• Explain technical decisions clearly and manage risks, dependencies and trade-offs

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience migrating a CRM, marketing automation or customer engagement platform to Braze.
• Hands-on experience establishing a new Braze instance through to production.
• Strong knowledge of Braze data structures, identity management, segmentation, Canvas, campaigns and personalisation.
• Practical experience with REST APIs, JSON, SDKs and customer data pipelines.
• Experience preserving consent, preferences and suppression rules during migration.
• Deep knowledge of email infrastructure and deliverability, including SPF, DKIM, DMARC and IP warming.
• Experience leading workshops and coordinating delivery across client, agency and platform teams.
• Confidence managing testing, cutover, production issues and handover.
• The ability to work independently and resolve delivery risks proactively.
• Relevant Braze certifications.
• Migration experience involving Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe Campaign or Oracle Responsys.
