• Conduct regular audits of new and changed master data.

• Identify recurring data quality issues and work cross-functionally to address root causes.
• Support the continued development of master data governance practices as the organization grows.

Operational Support & Risk Management

• Proactively identify master data issues that could impact production, procurement, planning, inventory, costing, compliance, or reporting.
• Prioritize master data requests based on operational and business risk.
• Troubleshoot urgent issues where missing or inaccurate data prevents materials or products from being planned, purchased, received, manufactured, or reported correctly.
• Ensure product changes and discontinuations are accurately reflected across applicable systems.
