The Lead MDM Analyst is a senior individual contributor with hands‑on ownership of Master Data Management (MDM) platform execution across enterprise master data domains. Reporting to the Manager of Data Management, this role is responsible for technically configuring, and operating MDM capabilities, translating business‑defined master data rules into scalable technical implementations, and ensuring consistent, high‑quality mastered data across systems.

This role is aligned to the Data Management pillar and owns or contributes to the following enterprise capabilities:

• Master & Reference Data Platform (Supplier MDM)

• Own and execute MDM configurations across master data domains, including match‑and‑merge logic, survivorship rules, golden record behavior, hierarchies, and reference data relationships.

• Serve as the technical authority for MDM execution, providing guidance and oversight for configurations, changes, and domain expansions.
• Configure and maintain domain data models and ensure consistent application of standards across regions and source systems.

• Ensure master data configurations comply with enterprise governance and stewardship workflows, including approvals, audit traceability, and controlled change management.
• Embed data quality rules and remediation workflows within MDM processes in close alignment with the Data Quality platform.
• Actively support stewardship adoption by ensuring MDM workflows are technically sound, usable, and aligned with business operating needs.
• Contribute to data domain harmonization efforts by implementing consistent definitions, hierarchies, and reference values across master data domains.

• Lead impact analysis, testing, and validation of MDM changes across upstream and downstream systems to ensure data integrity and business continuity.
• Support controlled releases, issue resolution, and operational troubleshooting for complex master data scenarios.
• Identify opportunities to improve MDM performance, scalability, and automation, proactively addressing technical debt.

• Align work execution to Novelis’ enterprise strategic data outcomes including trusted data, operational reliability, metal flow optimization, 3×30 sustainability goals, and cash focus/operational efficiency.
• Support the enterprise Data & AI Governance framework, ensuring governance is embedded into all workflows and deliverables.
