You will work closely with the PMO Director, the Master Data Manager, and business data stewards to connect project milestones (including New Product Introductions) with hands-on Master Data Management (MDM) execution.

Why you will like working here

• Run regular data audits and execute cleansing procedures for obsolete, duplicate, or unused data to keep the database usable and prevent time spent searching.
• Follow established data standards, workflows, controls, and policies defined by the Master Data Manager and Finance Governance.
• Coordinate with PMO Project Managers to track and manage master data readiness for New Product Introductions (NPI), stage-gate processes, and supply chain transitions.
• Support cross-functional data collection workflows by partnering with Business Data Stewards in Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Finance to ensure correct inputs are gathered and uploaded on project timelines.
• Assist the Master Data Manager and IT teams with requirements gathering, data structure definition, and smooth automated integration across enterprise systems (including ERP, PLM, and MDM tools).
• Produce regular status reports and dashboards on data readiness, quality metrics, and bottleneck areas for the PMO and Master Data Manager.
• Help develop training materials and provide ongoing support to business users and Data Stewards on master data management workflows and best practices.
• Identify opportunities to improve data quality, simplify processes, and recommend automation within the PMO and across business units.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Supply Chain, Project Management, or a related field.
• 2-4 years of experience as a Data Analyst, Master Data Specialist, or Product Information Analyst, ideally in a CPG or manufacturing environment.
• Foundational understanding of Master Data Management (MDM), including data governance, stewards, owners, schemas, and hierarchies.
• A strong ability to spot and fix data discrepancies.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills and follow-through to meet data deadlines.
• A proactive, detail-focused approach that helps resolve complex data confusion and build standardized processes.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while aligning to strict project timelines.
• Strong proficiency with ERP systems (Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, JD Edwards) and experience with PLM/MDM tools.
• Intermediate to advanced Excel skills, including VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, and data cleaning functions.
