Write clear developer specifications and keep documentation current as the product changes.Tagging and data layer delivery: Implement tracking through tag management systems (AEP Data Collection, Tealium iQ, GTM) and work with developers on event-driven data layer requirements.Platform migration: Translate Adobe SDR documents into Amplitude tracking plans, map eVars/props to event and user properties, and run parallel validation against Adobe Analytics. Plan and execute historical backfill into Amplitude or a data warehouse, addressing identity and data structure differences.Identity and user properties: Implement User ID, device ID, and user property logic, including identify calls and the anonymous-to-known transition. Test cross-device and cross-platform joins before release.QA and validation: Run rigorous testing with debugging tools to confirm event accuracy, data completeness, and tracking consistency. Maintain test plans and regression checks for each release and market.Integrations: Configure and validate integrations with APIs, data pipelines, data warehouses, and other analytics, marketing, and experimentation platforms.Reporting and adoption: Build and validate core analyses in Amplitude (funnels, retention, cohorts, user journeys, segmentation) and replicate key Adobe Analysis Workspace reports and dashboards. Train business users and support experimentation and behavioral analysis use cases.Troubleshooting and governance: Resolve tracking and implementation issues quickly, follow and enforce analytics governance standards, and ensure data collection adheres to privacy requirements such as consent and PII controls.Team leadership: Lead a pod of analysts and consultants, review their work, track delivery status, and coach them on implementation best practices.
