Database Programmer / Analyst – Direct Mail Operations

About the Role

We are looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Database Programmer / Analyst to implement and manage customer direct mail campaigns. This role goes beyond writing code — we're looking for someone who takes ownership of their processes, problem-solves independently, and actively contributes to improving how we work. You'll play a key role in processing direct mail data, supporting omni-channel customer journeys, and contributing to making our processes better every day. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love clean data, and take pride in getting things right, we want to hear from you.

What You Must Have

• 4–6+ years of experience in database development and data processing is required
• Expertise in Microsoft SQL Server experience including stored procedures, ad-hoc querying, and data validation is required
• Experience with a modern ETL/data integration tool is required — Azure Data Factory (ADF) strongly preferred; equivalent tools such as Talend, Informatica, or Matillion will be considered
• Demonstrated ability to problem-solve independently and see tasks through to completion without heavy supervision
• Comfort working with checklists, SOPs, and structured processes — and the initiative to flag when they need updating
• Strong communication skills — able to translate technical concepts for non-technical clients and internal stakeholders
• Ability to gather requirements, ask the right questions, and make sound decisions about data processing approaches
• Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent hands-on experience

What We'd Love to See

• Experience with Azure ecosystem tools beyond ADF (e.g., Azure SQL, Azure Blob Storage, Azure DevOps)
• Familiarity with Agile methodology and iterative project workflows
• Experience with version control and issue tracking tools such as Azure DevOps or Jira
• Background in direct mail, print, or marketing data processing
• Experience with omni-channel or cross-channel marketing platforms such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Adobe Campaign, or similar
• A track record of contributing to process improvement initiatives, not just executing them

What You'll Do

• Analyze incoming customer data and develop a plan to cleanse, standardize, and import it into mail processing systems accurately and on time
• Build and maintain ETL pipelines using Azure Data Factory (ADF) or equivalent modern tools to automate data movement, cleansing, and standardization
• Write and optimize SQL code including stored procedures, views, and ad-hoc queries to support data processing and validation
• Take full ownership of assigned data processing workflows — from initial analysis through delivery — ensuring quality and timeliness at every step
• Follow established checklists and SOPs, and proactively identify opportunities to update or improve them as processes evolve
• Participate in process improvement discussions and contribute practical suggestions for more efficient data flows and workflows
• Work closely with developers, analysts, and project leads to map customer data requirements to internal systems and product specs, including supporting omni-channel journey integrations across print, digital, and other channels
• Document automation processes clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Work alongside other Database Programmers / Analysts to maintain consistent, repeatable processes across accounts

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Customer data is processed accurately and delivered on time, every time
• Checklists and documentation are kept current and reflect how work is actually done
• You're not just waiting to be told what to do — you're anticipating issues, raising concerns early, and suggesting better ways to work
• Your teammates can count on your processes being consistent, documented, and repeatable
