Principal Collaboration Architect
About the role
The Principal Collaboration Architect is a senior technical customer-facing or program leadership role within LiveRamp's Customer Growth & Insights team. This role is responsible for designing and leading complex, multi-stakeholder data programs for enterprise customers.
Responsibilities
Design end-to-end data collaboration programs: technical architecture, data schema, privacy framework, and a roadmap to scaled, independently-operated programs.
Build the customer’s internal operating model, organizational structure, workflows, training, and role responsibilities, until the customer’s team can run the program without LiveRamp in the room.
Develop and validate use cases at the intersection of clean room capability and customer business objectives: closed-loop measurement, audience monetization, media-driven attribution, and co-branded data products.
Instrument a program-specific incremental value metric for every engagement: the proof point that anchors renewal, expansion, and internal investment decisions.
Identify and enable agency and data science partners on the customer side; unblocking them is a direct path to faster program activation.
Engage pre-sales with solutions engineering to scope technical requirements before contracts are signed, compressing time-to-value after close.
Produce a Master Playbook per program. This is a transferable, reusable foundation that the customer’s team owns at handoff.
Maintain a partner network perspective on each account: which collaborators belong in the program, which use cases generate the strongest mutual value, and how the customer should expand over time.
Feed structured product feedback to the product team on a defined cadence, translating real program friction into actionable input.
Requirements
10–15 years of experience in data infrastructure, adtech, or data partnerships, with a substantial portion in senior technical customer-facing or program leadership roles.
Hands-on fluency with cloud data platforms (Snowflake, GCP, AWS, or Azure) and working knowledge of privacy-enhancing technologies, including clean rooms, data clean room query design, and identity resolution frameworks.
A track record of designing and leading complex, multi-stakeholder data programs for enterprise customers at a senior level.
Experience establishing internal Centers of Excellence or analogous customer-side operating models is a strong differentiator.
Familiarity with publisher monetization, retail media, or brand data strategy. Understanding the business model on both sides of a collaboration is essential.
Ability to lead technical architecture discussions and executive strategy conversations within the same engagement.
Comfort mapping to Product, Data, and Privacy leadership at large organizations.
Proficiency using AI tools to accelerate workflow output for document generation, query drafting, synthesis, and analysis.
QualificationsMaster’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
