• Apply established data standards, business rules, and governance policies as directed.
• Develop working technical knowledge of systems supporting end-to-end master data flows.
• Assist with configuration, testing, and validation of data quality rules (matching, merging, survivorship).
• Document defects, remediation actions, and data behaviors in accordance with team standards.
• Partner primarily with technology and data teams, escalating business questions when needed.
• Perform additional duties as required to support data operations and platform stability.

Job Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience in data stewardship, data operations, analytics, or a related technical role.
• Exposure to at least one data domain such as Product, Vendor, Client, or Location.

• Excel skills for analysis and reconciliation.
• Familiarity with ticketing or incident management tools (ServiceNow, JIRA, Azure DevOps).
• Exposure to Master Data platforms such as Stibo STEP, Informatica MDM.
• Familiarity with reporting or visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
• Awareness of ERP systems such as SAP S/4HANA.
• Exposure to AI-assisted research tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) for productivity support.
• Hands‑on experience executing data corrections in controlled environments.
• Experience supporting data quality monitoring or operational data controls.
