About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You hold overall ownership of the master data model and attribute logic across all relevant domains. You define field attributes, mandatory fields, and validation rules.
In collaboration with business units and IT, you determine the source-of-record (SoR) for master data objects, document data flows across business processes, and specify requirements for synchronization logic, replication rules, and error handling in close coordination with integration teams.
You take responsibility for the handover points at all MDM-relevant business interfaces between systems such as SAP, PIM, CRM, WMS, PLM, and other systems. You reduce complexity, proactively drive the elimination of technical workarounds, and support data migrations from extraction through validation.
You design and document end-to-end master data processes. You define workflows for the creation, enrichment, approval, and distribution of data and actively close process gaps across all domains (product, supplier, customer, finance, logistics).
You define data quality rules across systems, monitor MDM metrics (KPIs), and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
