Principal Collaboration Architect

About the role

The Principal Collaboration Architect is a senior technical customer-facing role within LiveRamp's Customer Growth & Insights team. This role is dedicated to driving program depth and network scale across the most strategic accounts. The ideal candidate will design, implement, and manage end-to-end data collaboration programs, build the customer's internal operating model, and develop use cases that prove the program's success.

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

Experience: 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.

Technical Depth: 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.

Program Delivery: 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.

Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with publisher monetization, retail media, or brand data strategy. Understanding the business model on both sides of a collaboration is essential.

Stakeholder Range: 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.

AI Fluency: Proficiency using AI tools to accelerate workflow output for document generation, query drafting, synthesis, and analysis.

Qualifications
