* Proven involvement in establishing MDM practices, maintaining master data for ERP systems, and leading data governance initiatives.
* Hands-on experience integrating master data into ERP environments (ensuring consistent data across modules/systems) is essential.
* Preferred Industry Background:

* Experience working on global projects or in multi-national companies with complex master data (for example, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or financial services) is ideal
Technical Skills:
* Deep knowledge of MDM principles and data governance frameworks – including data quality standards, data cleansing processes, master data lifecycle management, and establishing data stewardship models
* The candidate should understand how to design and enforce policies for data accuracy and consistency.
* Expertise in ERP systems (preference for SAP ECC) and how master data (customers, suppliers, products, etc.) is structured and utilized across different modules. Experience ensuring that master data changes in one area (e.g. procurement or finance) properly cascade through the ERP is important.
* Hands-on experience with at least one MDM tool or platform for enterprise data – for example, SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) or other leading tools like Informatica MDM, IBM InfoSphere, or Talend
* Strong data modeling and database skills – able to define master data models and attributes, design hierarchies and taxonomies, and understand relational databases or data warehouse concepts that underlie master data stores
* Familiarity with data integration techniques (APIs, ETL) to link MDM systems with ERP and other applications is also valuable.
* Knowledge of data quality management techniques and tools: capable of implementing data validation rules, running data quality audits, and using metrics to monitor master data health.
Certifications:
* SAP Certifications: SAP Certified Application Associate and/or SAP Master Data Governance certification
Soft Skills:
* Strong interpersonal communication skills in English; other languages are an advantage.
* Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills – able to collaborate with finance, procurement, IT, and sales stakeholders and translate data findings into business insights
* A problem-solving, analytical mindset is critical for investigating data issues and identifying root causes or trends
* The candidate should be detail-oriented yet able to see the big picture, and adept at troubleshooting process/data problems. Additionally, strong organizational skills and the ability to work under deadlines in cross-functional teams (often acting as a bridge between technical teams and business users) are important
* A strategic mindset: the MDM Specialist should be able to align master data management initiatives with the broader business strategy and drive continuous improvement in data processes.
