Cara Mooney

As Lead Solutions Consultant at Iterable, I empower go-to-market teams by translating our cross-channel marketing automation platform into high-value enterprise growth. I partner with midmarket to Fortune 500 clients, C-suite executives, and technical leaders to transform real-time APIs and modern data integrations into scalable strategy. My work focuses on consultative product demos, custom solution architecture, security workflows, and team enablement.

Independently, I also advise select small to medium-sized businesses, combining my expertise in technical sales consulting with a hands-on background in web design and front-end development.

Available for select consulting work

Outside of my full-time role, I take on a select number of clients helping them modernizing an outdated site or platform, untangling marketing systems, designing a company rebrand, or advising on what to fix first and how. If that sounds like what you need, I'd like to hear about it.

How I work

Flexibility icon

Flexible, not fixed

Available for a single scoped project or an ongoing retainer — whichever actually fits what you need.

Documents icon

Documentation, not dependency

Everything's handed off with real documentation, so the system doesn't need me to keep running.

Handshake icon

Direct, not layered

You work with me directly — no account manager, no relay between you and the actual work.

Background

Before transitioning into SaaS, I had a varied career in international relations and foreign affairs, healthcare, and education. Along the way I built out a portfolio through graphic design before moving into front-end development, working directly with small businesses and organizations, focusing on building sites and creating full rebrand stratgies and honing my clients' marketing efforts.

As the Lead Solutions Consultant at Iterable, a cross-channel customer engagement platform that helps global brands deliver personalized campaigns across email, SMS, mobile, and web at scale, I serve as a trusted advisor bridging complex data architecture with impactful customer experiences. I partner with enterprise stakeholders and C-suite executives to translate sophisticated technical capabilities, real-time APIs, and modern data stack integrations into scalable growth strategies. My work centers on delivering highly consultative product demonstrations, architecting custom solutions for complex use cases, and steering cross-functional teams through security and integration workflows. Beyond client engagements, I actively lead internal team enablement and technical training, empowering revenue and technical teams to navigate intricate martech ecosystems with confidence and authority.

I work a select number of independent consulting projects each year, typically consulting small to medium-sized businesses that need the same kind of digital transformation work I used to do full-time: modernized systems, cleaner workflows, and platforms their team can actually run self-service.
