About The Position

The Marketing Technologies Director leads PlayStation's global marketing technology organization across engineering, product management, UX, measurement and experimentation, audience activation, and marketing data. This leader owns the technology vision, architecture, product strategy, and roadmap for platforms used by marketers worldwide to reach hundreds of millions of players. The role is accountable for building secure, scalable, AI-enabled capabilities that improve marketing effectiveness, speed, and customer experience.

The successful candidate can lead engineers and technical product teams, make architecture and build-versus-buy decisions, and translate marketing needs into durable systems. Experience limited to administering vendors or managing a marketing technology stack without direct engineering experience does not meet the requirements of this role.

12+ years of experience across software or data engineering, technical product management, and marketing technology, including leadership of global teams.
Direct software or data engineering experience and a record of leading engineering teams that built and operated production marketing technology systems.
Demonstrated success building, launching, and operating enterprise SaaS products or internal platforms, beyond implementing or administering third-party tools.

Experience leading multidisciplinary organizations spanning engineering, product management, UX, measurement and experimentation, analytics or data science, and audience activation.
Strong command of experimentation methods, marketing measurement, analytics, and the use of data to improve product and marketing decisions.
Experience with AI-powered products, machine learning platforms, or automation in production environments.
