The Manager of Personalization leads the team accountable for 7-Eleven's personalization and decisioning capability within Marketing Technology (MarTech).

The Manager is responsible for consolidating fragmented personalization capabilities (e.g., personalization API/gateway, decisioning, experimentation) under MarTech, establishing a clear production inventory and ownership, and partnering with data science, product, data, and architecture to move toward an omnichannel decisioning platform with a business-facing interface. This people-leadership role sets the personalization roadmap, manages a team, and reduces keyperson and single-platform risk while improving measurement and speed to launch.

• Lead and manage the team delivering personalization and decisioning capabilities across MarTech channels.
• Own the personalization roadmap and drive consolidation of the personalization API/gateway, decisioning, and experimentation under clear MarTech ownership.
• Define how models, rules, business goals, and channel logic are consumed and activated consistently across channels, with next-best-action/offer as one input among many.
• Establish a validated production inventory, model/attribute change management, and consumer-notification processes.
• Partner with data science on model consumption and evaluation, and with product on business-facing decisioning and goal setting.
• Extend personalization coverage across channels (e.g., onsite/web, app, CFD/pump) and improve experimentation and measurement.
• Manage team performance, hiring, prioritization, delivery cadences, and stakeholder/leadership communication.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

EDUCATION: Bachelors/4 Yr Degree

YEARS OF RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE: 7+ years

YEARS OF MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE: 3+ years

CERTIFICATIONS / LICENSES: Agile or PMP certifications a plus.

SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS:

• Strong people leadership: hiring, coaching, performance management, and delivery.
• Deep understanding of personalization/decisioning (next-best-action/offer, recommendations, propensity, segmentation, experimentation) and how they combine across channels.
• Familiarity with the personalization stack (personalization API/gateway, SFMC/MCP, Databricks, models, A/B testing) and identity/data foundations.
• Experience operationalizing models and defining model/attribute governance and change management.
• Understanding of measurement/attribution and compliance (opt-in, CCPA).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills across technical and business audiences.
