Process quality & improvements

• Monitor how Master Data moves through the organisation and identify areas for improvement.

• Suggest changes that increase data accuracy and make processes more efficient.

• Represent the Master Data team in cross-functional discussions and ensure standards are followed.

Organising your work

• Manage tasks through ticketing systems

• Prioritise multiple requests in a fast-paced environment

• Collaborate closely with your team and stakeholders across countries (Denmark, Lithuania, France, UK, Spain)

Work environment

• Hybrid model: 2–3 days per week in our Poznań office.
