• Own the Category-Defining Architecture: Personally own the technical strategy for our lighthouse deals (e.g., an Agency Global Hold Co data consolidation or a AAA Studio infrastructure migration). Ensure these architectures are engineered to survive real-world scale, not just pass a POC. • The Physics to P&L Narrative: Fluently demonstrate to executive stakeholders how infrastructure decisions (e.g., Data Lake locality, storage tiering) directly impact their business model and operability. • Deconstruct the Bottleneck: Go beyond the stated problem to find the technical truth. Translate vague business goals (e.g., “We need lower ad costs”) into precise engineering requirements (e.g., “We need to optimize the inference batch size on L40s to reduce cost-per-token by 30%). • Map the Transition: Identify exactly where a customer sits on the curve from Service Bureau to Tech Platform and prescribe the specific infrastructure intervention needed to move them forward. • Build the Integration Layer: You will identify, court, and technically validate relationships with the most critical ISVs in the media landscape. • Define the Standard: It is not enough to just “support” these tools; you will define the reference architectures for how they run best on our infrastructure. • Chair the M&E Product Summit: You will lead a quarterly summit with Core Engineering leadership. You will use forensic evidence from the field to prioritize and justify the M&E vertical roadmap. • Direct our Engineering Team: Ensure our engineering teammates are building the right things at the right time, both in the field as well as high-leverage assets such as scalable quick-start reference architectures (e.g., “Deploying Llama-405B for Ad Copy Creation”).
