The Master Data Manager is responsible for leading the governance, intake, and lifecycle processes for critical master data domains including Customer Master, Vendor Master, Item Master, and other core foundational data sets. This role ensures the integrity and consistency of data across core systems such as Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Power BI, High Radius, and other business solutions, whether integrated or manually maintained.

The Master Data Manager also plays a key role in shaping and enforcing the business processes that govern how data is created, maintained, and consumed across reporting and operational platforms. This includes partnering with Sales, Estimating, and Production functions to support production inputs to Bill of Materials (BOMs), routings, and other production‑critical data, without owning their setup.

• Partner with IT, project leads, and business functions to test, resolve issues, and enforce standards during system setup and cutover.
• Influence ERP configuration decisions to protect downstream reporting integrity.

• Serve as the primary escalation point for data quality and governance issues.
• Lead cleanup and alignment efforts for item catalog, BOMs, routings, and production‑critical data.

• Strengthen catalog governance by enforcing standards, ensuring consistent compliance, and supporting reporting/analytics accuracy.
• Lead global coordination with offshore teams, ensuring alignment and adherence to governance practices.
• Continuously improve processes (customer onboarding, vendor creation, item setup, lifecycle governance).

• Act as the point of contact and escalation for offshore Master Data team.
• Support knowledge transfer and skills development for junior team members and cross‑functional stakeholders.
• Ensure global data entry resources follow documented standards and governance practices.
• Lead and establish documentation practices for Master Data.
• Build strong relationships with Master Data and Product Catalog leads and SMEs across all divisions to ensure alignment and shared ownership of data standards.

• Hands‑on ERP implementation experience strongly preferred, particularly in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations or similar platforms.
• Experience supporting or governing master data in Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Power BI, or similar systems.
• Prior involvement in process design, data lifecycle management, or system integration between operational and reporting platforms.
