Head of Marketing Technology & Automation (Independent Contractor)

We are looking for a Head of Marketing Technology & Automation to take absolute ownership of our end-to-end marketing infrastructure. This is not a traditional virtual assistant or ticket-taking role. We are hiring a true Technical Operator—someone who will look at our marketing landscape, independently design the strategy, and execute the architecture completely free of day-to-day oversight. You aren't just completing tasks; you own the systems layer of all marketing funnels—tracking, attribution, reporting, funnel pages, multi-step automations, and global email infrastructure. Today, this execution layer requires too much internal oversight. We are hiring a sharp, high-agency leader who can be handed a one-line business objective and trusted to return a fully mapped, tested, and operating technical solution. This is a full-time, remote position ideal for a data-driven technical manager who wants to build robust, AI-accelerated marketing systems at scale. • Infrastructure Ownership & Strategy: Act as the technical architect for all marketing funnels. Autonomously design, implement, and audit data pathways without needing micro-management from leadership. • Tracking, Attribution & Financial Reconciliation: Implement and structurally maintain comprehensive attribution tracking (Meta pixel + Conversions API, GTM server-side tagging, GA4); define and enforce strict UTM frameworks; ruthlessly debug data or numbers discrepancies between ad platforms, our CRM (Close), and payment gateways (Whop/Stripe) end-to-end. • Reporting & Anomaly Detection: Build, own, and maintain marketing campaign dashboards. Guarantee 100% data fidelity, proactively deep-diving into analytics anomalies and fixing root-cause tracking bugs before leadership ever has to ask. • Funnel Operations: Oversee and optimize high-converting landing pages, VSL pages, opt-in forms, and complex multi-path booking flows across our page builders. Set up clean split-testing parameters ensuring zero leakage in data recording. • Advanced Automation & System Architecture: Architect and manage robust n8n webhooks and multi-branch workflows connecting external forms, Close CRM, Slack, Google Sheets, and our email platform—ensuring strict error handling and automated fallback paths are built natively into every execution loop. • Email Ops & Deliverability Architecture: Direct the execution of multi-step behavioral email sequences and system triggers within our ESP. Own long-term list hygiene, technical exit c

Responsibilities • Infrastructure Ownership & Strategy: Act as the technical architect for all marketing funnels. Autonomously design, implement, and audit data pathways without needing micro-management from leadership. • Tracking, Attribution & Financial Reconciliation: Implement and structurally maintain comprehensive attribution tracking (Meta pixel + Conversions API, GTM server-side tagging, GA4); define and enforce strict UTM frameworks; ruthlessly debug data or numbers discrepancies between ad platforms, our CRM (Close), and payment gateways (Whop/Stripe) end-to-end. • Reporting & Anomaly Detection: Build, own, and maintain marketing campaign dashboards.

Own long-term list hygiene, technical exit conditions, domain isolation, and overall deliverability metrics. • AI Orchestration: Aggressively leverage AI agents and advanced prompt engineering to accelerate team output; identify key areas in our pipeline where AI steps can scale throughput or operational intelligence. • Future Scope: Take full technical ownership of the marketing operations department, with the runway to hire, structure, and directly manage junior technical VAs/contractors as we scale. Requirements Ideal Candidate Profile • Ownership & Operator Mindset (Non-Negotiable): You have a proven track record of owning marketing technology stacks entirely without oversight. You have personally managed a technical team or solo function for a fast-growing agency/SaaS, setting up complex tech ecosystems from scratch. You think like a business owner, not a component builder. • High Horsepower & Agency: Given a highly ambiguous brief, you fill the gaps with sensible architectural choices, explicitly document your core assumptions, flag uncertainties, and ship completely functional results first time round. • Automation Mastery: Extensive hands-on depth in advanced workflow automation tools (n8n strongly preferred; Make/Zapier acceptable only with a portfolio proving complex, multi-branch builds, heavy webhook parsing, custom API requests, and built-in error trapping). • Deep Tracking Fluency: You can tell a specific technical war story about a severe numbers mismatch between an ad platform and a CRM that you independently tracked down, debugged, and resolved via server-side tagging or webhooks. • Code Literacy: Highly comfortable working with custom REST APIs, raw JSON data manipulation, and webhooks. Scripting familiarity (HTML, JavaScript, or Python) is a significant plus. • Async-Native Communicator: Absolute fluency in written and spoken English. You communicate with precision, utilize concise written technical updates, and record brief, context-rich Looms to align teams across time zones. Nice to Have • Based in Eastern Europe (or highly aligned with US Eastern/Central daytime hours). • Direct, hands-on experience with Close CRM, Whop/Stripe, and GTM server-side tagging. • Prior experience directing, hiring, or quality-controlling marketing VAs. • Technical alignment with digital info-product, coaching, or high-ticket community funnels. Benefits What’s In It for You • Training Provided: You’ll receive full support to succeed in your role, including onboarding process training, hands-on guidance using Asana and Slack for project coordination, and ongoing mentorship from senior technical leads. • Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere with a stable inter
