@kalvinjones
I build compliant Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Data Cloud programs for regulated organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've spent 11+ years building and running Salesforce Marketing Cloud programs for healthcare, pharma, higher education, and enterprise clients where sensitive data and compliance are central to delivery.
At AbbVie Digital Lab, I lead SFMC and customer-data architecture across regulated pharmaceutical brands, covering batch, triggered, transactional, and lifecycle communications across email, SMS, and fulfillment channels. I translate marketing objectives and consent requirements into audience rules, technical specifications, and delivery roadmaps.
At Ascension, I stood up Salesforce Data Cloud / Data 360, building Data Streams, DLO-to-DMO mappings, identity resolution, unified profiles, consent-aware segmentation, and Marketing Cloud activation. I've also designed CRM, Snowflake, SFTP, API, and ETL integrations that keep customer data clean and usable.
I lead 2–3 marketing automation specialists through concurrent programs, reviewing Journey Builder and AMPscript work, coaching complex SQL and personalization problems, and holding delivery to high quality and compliance standards. I bring hands-on depth in Journey Builder, Automation Studio, AMPscript, SSJS, SQL, Marketing Cloud Personalization, deliverability, and cross-cloud Salesforce integrations.
