  • Create a clear system of record philosophy across tools (CRM, enrichment platforms, marketing automation, analytics stack)

Data Quality & Integrity

  • Own ongoing data hygiene across accounts and contacts, including deduplication, normalization, enrichment, and lifecycle management
  • Design scalable processes and governance for data accuracy, completeness, freshness, and consistency
  • Proactively identify and remediate data issues before they impact reporting, pipeline, or go-to-market execution

Cross-Functional Enablement

  • Partner with:
    • Sales Ops / RevOps to ensure data supports territory planning, forecasting, and pipeline management, and sales process
    • GTM Systems to align data models with CRM architecture, integrations, and automation
    • Marketing Operations to ensure clean inbound data flow, lead-to-account matching, and attribution
  • Translate business requirements into scalable data frameworks that work across teams

Process, Tooling & Scalability

  • Own and optimize enrichment strategy (e.g., Clay and related tools), balancing coverage, cost, and accuracy
  • Design processes for data ingestion from inbound, outbound, partners, and product-led sources
  • Prepare the data foundation to scale with company growth, new segments, new motions, and future tooling changes
  • Align on systems roadmap from a RevOps perspective to ensure prioritization is clear

Leadership & Influence

  • Act as the authoritative owner of GTM data, driving alignment without becoming a bottleneck
  • Educate stakeholders on best practices around data usage and governance
  • Build a roadmap for data maturity that aligns with Chainguard’s growth stage

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in Data Governance or GTM Systems roles
  • Deep hands-on experience with CRM systems (Salesforce strongly preferred)
  • Experience building or scaling data governance frameworks at a high-growth company
  • Proven ownership of account and contact data models in a B2B SaaS environment
  • Experience working closely with Sales Ops, Marketing Ops, and Systems teams
  • Strong understanding of enrichment providers, inbound data flows, and lifecycle management
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with tactical execution.

Traits for Success:

  • Opinionated but collaborative — able to drive standards while partnering effectively
  • Systems thinker who anticipates second- and third-order effects of data decisions
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and evolving environments
  • High bar for data quality, with pragmatism about speed vs. perfection

Base salary: $174,000-205,000.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
