Engineering Manager, Data Engineering - Remote-eligible (U.S. + select international)
HOW YOU WILL IMPACT THE BIG PICTURE: As the Engineering Manager, Data Engineering, you will lead the design and operation of a modern, mission-driven data ecosystem for the world’s largest Catholic media network. You’ll own the architecture, implementation, and sustainment of our data platforms—deploying a Customer Data Platform (CDP), a scalable cloud lakehouse/warehouse (e.g., Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake), and cross-platform analytics tools (Mixpanel, PostHog) to unify data across all digital properties. You’ll combine hands-on data engineering expertise with strategic leadership to transform fragmented donor, marketing, and content data into actionable insights that power evangelization, audience engagement, and operational efficiency. WHAT YOU WILL DO:
- Architect & Build: Implement a unified data lake using medallion architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold layers) to ingest, cleanse, enrich, and activate data from sources like Virtuous CRM, HubSpot, FlexFormz, and streaming/video platforms.
- Integrate & Automate: Create robust ETL/ELT pipelines with tools like dbt, Apache Airflow, and Fabric Dataflows to deliver Supporter 360 and Household 360 views, enabling identity resolution and multi-touch attribution.
- Enable Insights: Partner with analysts and business teams to design metrics, dashboards (Power BI), and self-service data products that support fundraising, marketing, and content strategy.
- Champion Data Quality: Establish governance, automated hygiene loops (email, address, phone validation), and standardized identity matching rules, ensuring compliance with GDPR/CCPA.
- Lead & Collaborate: Manage a small engineering team and vendor partners, mentoring talent while working cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Mission Advancement, and Content teams.
- Activate Data: Drive real-time data activation via APIs, reverse ETL, and CDP integrations for personalized, omni-channel engagement. ABOUT YOU:
- 7+ years in data engineering/architecture, with at least 3 years in leadership roles.
- Proven experience with cloud data platforms (Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, Databricks, or similar) and modern pipeline tools (dbt, Airflow, Fivetran).
