About the Role:

Grade Level (for internal use):

Summer Intern – Marketing Customer Intelligence — ABM Persona Data Model (Project-Based)
 

The role

We’re hiring a 10-week intern to support Adobe Real-Time CDP (RT-CDP) projects with a focus on designing and operationalizing a persona definition & management data model that strengthens our Account-Based Marketing (ABM) planning, targeting, and measurement. You’ll translate ABM needs (ICP, buying committee roles, intent signals, engagement stages) into a structured, governed approach for persona creation, maintenance, and activation in CDP. 

Model: UK manager of record

Focus: A clearly scoped summer project with defined milestones and a final deliverable.

1. ABM Persona Data Model Blueprint

   - A clear logical model for persona objects (e.g., persona, account, contact, buying role, intent/interest areas, engagement stage) and how they relate (account ↔ people ↔ personas). 

2. Persona Definition & Governance Pack

   - Standard persona templates (required fields, naming conventions, inclusion/exclusion rules, owner, versioning, effective dates) plus an approval/change process. 

3. Signal-to-Persona Mapping

   - Mapping of CDP attributes/events to persona qualification signals (e.g., job function, seniority, product interest, web behaviour, content engagement, form fills, event attendance). 

Project Tracks (Areas of Focus)

Track A — ABM & Persona Discovery (Weeks 1–2)

- Align with ABM stakeholders on ICP tiers, target account strategy, and priority campaigns. 

- Define required persona types (e.g., Decision Maker, Champion, Influencer, Practitioner) and buying committee coverage expectations. 

- Inventory existing segments, personas, and data sources feeding RT-CDP.

Track B — Data Model Design (Weeks 2–5)

- Design how personas will be represented and maintained (including metadata like confidence, recency, and lifecycle status). 

- Define relationships needed for ABM: account-level attributes + person-level attributes + role within account. 

- Establish controlled vocabularies (persona names, role categories, intent topics, stage definitions).

Track C — Persona Qualification Logic & Signal Mapping (Weeks 4–8)

- Map CDP profile attributes and behavioural events to persona rules and thresholds. 

- Identify gaps (missing fields, inconsistent values, identity/account matching constraints) and propose remediation options. 

- Draft test cases for edge conditions (multi-role contacts, conflicting signals, sparse engagement).

What we're looking for:

Essential skills & Attributes

- Strong marketing operations / analytics mindset: ability to translate ABM strategy into structured data requirements. 

- Familiarity with segmentation concepts (inclusion/exclusion logic, recency windows, funnel/stage thinking). 

- Comfort with data design fundamentals (entities, attributes, relationships; documentation discipline). 

- Clear communication: able to write specs, define terms, and present trade-offs.

Preferred:

- SQL fundamentals and/or strong Excel/Sheets proficiency for profiling and validation. 

- Exposure to CDP/CRM/ABM concepts: account hierarchies, buying committees, intent, lead/contact/account objects. 

Traits for Success

- Detail-oriented and systematic (enjoys definitions, edge cases, and repeatable processes). 

- Collaborative and comfortable working with both marketers and technical partners. 

- Proactive in surfacing data limitations and proposing practical solutions.

- Structure & Support:

  - Weekly 1:1 with Marketing Director (sponsor) for prioritization and unblockers 

  - Regular working sessions with ABM owner(s), Marketing Ops, and data/platform partners 

  - Midpoint review (Week 5): draft persona model + initial mappings 

  - Final review (Week 10): operating model + audience specs + recommendations 

Expectations:

  - Maintain a lightweight project plan and documentation repository 

  - Document decisions, assumptions, and open questions 

  - Follow internal data governance and handle sensitive customer data responsibly
