ABOUT THE ROLE

The HR Master Data Specialist is responsible for the daily execution, continuous maintenance, and ongoing integrity of Amrize’s HR master data within core HR systems (i.e., SuccessFactors and SAP). Reporting to the HR Master Data Manager, this role ensures frontline data entry adheres strictly to established governance standards while tactically evaluating and validating HR-initiated changes in core HR systems.

• Enable Smooth Company Changes: Handle daily org structure updates and execute mass data uploads during reorganizations, typical business cycle updates, or major mergers and acquisitions so the business never skips a beat.
• Keep Us Safe and Compliant: Maintain an audit-ready environment for internal and external audits, extract the critical data required for North American compliance reporting, and partner closely with the HRIS team to test system upgrades.
• Be the Go-To Data Partner: Serve as the frontline face for all data and system inquiries, coaching and training HR, Payroll, and Finance teams to troubleshoot roadblocks while updating our data playbook (SOPs and definitions) and training users on best practices.
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving, and adhering to health, safety, and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exemplify these behaviors.
