- Experience working with enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, Snowflake, or similar ecosystems
What You Will Be Doing Daily Responsibilities
- Lead enterprise-wide Master Data Management strategy and execution
- Chair and facilitate the Data Governance Council, driving alignment on data ownership and standards
- Prioritize MDM initiatives based on business value, risk, and resource availability
- Define and enforce data governance policies, standards, hierarchies, and quality metrics
- Serve as the primary escalation point for data-related risks, ownership conflicts, and project challenges
- Oversee SAP master data initiatives including governance, migration, cleansing, and implementation activities
- Partner with business leaders to translate complex data requirements into business outcomes
- Lead and mentor data stewards, business analysts, functional leads, and external partners
- Manage user acceptance testing, cutover planning, and post-go-live support activities
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and aligned with strategic objectives
- Drive continuous improvement in enterprise data quality and governance practices
The Offer
- Competitive base salary: $180,000 – $220,000
