• Monitor DQ dashboards, drive remediation, and conduct periodic audits.
• Own reference data such as units of measure and classifications.

Architecture & Integrations

• Own the system-of-record map and golden record definitions.
• Oversee integrations and synchronization between PDM ↔ ERP/MES ↔ PIM/CRM.

Compliance & Risk

• Ensure regulatory attributes at the master data level.
• Manage access controls, retention policies, and change logs.
• Guarantee data traceability and governance.

Enablement

• Develop training and playbooks for data creators and approvers.
• Manage service levels and escalation paths.
