Industry: FMCG
Type: Contract
Salary: €750 - €800 per day

Key Responsibilities:
- Actively design, implement, and improve master data processes across operational and analytical use cases.

- Build and embed Data Governance frameworks, policies, and standards across the business.

- Work directly with business and IT teams to execute master data strategies that align with organisational goals.

- Present data management strategies, project updates, and business value propositions directly to board/C-level executives.

Key Requirements:

- Solid knowledge of how MDM and governance fit within broader data and technology landscapes.
