  • Lead the full range of Google Tag Manager capability across web and server containers: tag, trigger, and variable architecture, trigger groups, custom HTML tags, custom JavaScript and data layer variables, lookup and RegEx tables, custom templates, tag sequencing and firing priority, folders, workspaces, environments, version control, and container import and export.
  • Design and implement server-side tagging in GTM, including client and transformation configuration, first-party data collection, and migration of vendor tags from web to server containers.

  • Own the agency QA standard for tag and event implementation across websites, landing pages, and media campaigns, including pre-launch and post-launch validation.
  • Debug and resolve tracking issues using GTM preview mode, Google Tag Assistant, Chrome DevTools, Meta Pixel Helper, and platform diagnostics, and serve as the escalation point when others are stuck.
  • Implement and validate Google Consent Mode v2 and consent-aware tag firing in partnership with the agency's consent management service line.
  • Maintain tracking documentation, event taxonomies, naming conventions, and standardized UTM structures across the client portfolio.
  • Govern data quality and privacy in the tag layer, including PII redaction and consent-state behavior.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in ad operations, digital analytics, or conversion tracking, with a track record of owning complex implementations end to end.
  • Expert-level command of Google Tag Manager across web and server containers, including custom templates, custom JavaScript variables, lookup and RegEx tables, trigger groups, consent initialization, tag sequencing, workspaces, environments, versioning, and container import and export.
  • Expert-level GA4 implementation experience, including custom events and dimensions, cross-domain measurement, Measurement Protocol, and attribution settings.
  • Deep knowledge of major ad platforms and their tagging requirements, including enhanced conversions, Conversions API, UET, and offline conversion imports.
  • Hands-on server-side tagging experience, including clients, transformations, and first-party data collection.
  • Strong understanding of browser-based tracking, cookies, consent, and attribution principles, including Google Consent Mode v2 and the practical effects of privacy changes on measurement.
  • Mastery of debugging tools including GTM preview mode, Google Tag Assistant, Chrome DevTools, and Meta Pixel Helper.
  • Ability to write and modify JavaScript for custom tagging, data layer work, and enhanced ecommerce tracking, and to author data layer specifications developers can build from.
  • Experience integrating tracking with CRMs or MAPs (e.g. HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo), including offline conversion syncs.
  • Working knowledge of consent management platforms (e.g. OneTrust, Cookiebot, Ketch) and privacy compliance considerations.
