The person who builds them can vary by organization:\n\n\nMarketing/CRM specialist or Marketing Cloud specialist \u2014 usually designs the customer experience, audience, messages, timing, and journey logic.\n\n\nMarketing Cloud Administrator \u2014 handles permissions, data extensions, configuration, integrations, and often builds or publishes journeys. Salesforce specifically lists the Marketing Administrator role with Journey Builder capabilities. Salesforce+1\n\n\nMarketing Cloud Developer \u2014 typically gets involved when the journey requires SQL, AMPscript/SSJS, APIs, complex data manipulation, custom integrations, or programmatic journey creation. Salesforce provides APIs that developers can use to programmatically compose journeys. Developer\n\n\nMarketing Cloud Consultant/Architect \u2014 often designs the overall solution and data architecture, particularly for complex implementations. Salesforce recommends services/partners and IT-administrator involvement for complex Journey Builder use cases. Salesforce\n\n\nSo, if you're asking \u201cWhat job title normally builds Salesforce Marketing Cloud customer journeys?\u201d, the most direct answer is:\n\nMarketing Cloud Specialist / Marketing Automation Specialist, sometimes a Marketing Cloud Administrator, with a Developer supporting the technical pieces.\n\nJourney Builder itself is the tool used to design and automate the multi-step customer interactions.
