• Lead the design, development, and implementation of enterprise MDM platforms, including data modelling, data quality rules, matching & merging logic, hierarchy management, workflow configuration, and system integration. Oversee the end‑to‑end operationalisation of MDM ecosystems, ensuring scalability, performance, data stewardship adoption, security, and regulatory compliance.
• Stay at the forefront of MDM and Data Management best practices, actively evaluating industry tools, vendor capabilities, and architectural patterns to drive innovation in client solutions.
• Guide and mentor junior data teams, promoting reusable assets, strong data governance practices, and delivery excellence across engagements.

• Deep domain experience in implementing MDM within regulated or data‑rich industries (e.g., financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, public sector).
• Proven track record of leading architecture teams, contributing to data strategy, and driving adoption of enterprise data standards.
• Experience with critical regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and industry‑specific compliance standards.
• Certifications in major MDM or data management platforms (e.g., Informatica MDM/IDMC, Reltio, Semarchy, SAP MDG, IBM InfoSphere) and cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP) are highly desirable.
• Prior experience in consulting, working with diverse clients and project scopes across multiple industries, is highly desirable.

Technical Proficiency

• Demonstrated ability to lead the end‑to‑end design and deployment of complex MDM solutions, including integration with enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, data lakes, microservices).
• Expert knowledge of MDM architecture patterns, including registry, consolidation, coexistence, and centralised models.
• Data modelling (conceptual, logical, canonical models).
• Data quality frameworks (profiling, cleansing, validation rules).
• Matching & survivorship logic, entity resolution, hierarchy management.
• Metadata management, reference data management, and stewardship workflows.
• Strong proficiency with cloud‑native data services (Azure Purview/ADF, AWS Glue/Lake Formation, GCP DataPlex) and modern integration technologies (APIs, streaming, ETL/ELT).
• Solid understanding of data governance, data lineage, security practices, and regulatory compliance frameworks.
• Experience working with large‑scale data storage and processing technologies (SQL, Spark, NoSQL, ETL/ELT tools).
