• Data Process Design and Governance: Develop clear, manageable frameworks for how data should be defined, structured, and controlled as it flows through different systems. This includes establishing key checkpoints to verify data accuracy and adherence to standards.

• Consistency and Integrity Assurance: Implement data quality controls and monitoring mechanisms to maintain consistent and reliable data across systems, minimizing discrepancies and enhancing trust in data assets.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and data owners to align data governance practices with business needs, particularly for supply chain, finance, and procurement data.

• Continuous Improvement: Take an iterative, feedback-driven approach to governance practices, ensuring they evolve in response to business demands and technology advancements without introducing unnecessary complexity.

• Demonstrated ability to bridge technical data architecture with business needs, working closely with business stakeholders and implementation teams to drive product data readiness across PLM, product configurator, D365FO or similar information systems.

• Strong understanding of data management principles and best practices.

• Excellent communication and change management skills; able to influence and challenge stakeholders constructively.

• Fluency in business English.

Who You Are

• Practical and Results-Driven: You translate theoretical governance principles into actionable steps that deliver real value without unnecessary overhead.

• Senior-Level Strategic Thinker: You understand solution designs, know what is needed to make data processes succeed, and can confidently provide pushback to ensure the right decisions are made.

• Strong Communicator: Able to clearly articulate governance requirements to both technical teams and business stakeholders, ensuring alignment and compliance.

• Analytical Mindset: Skilled at diagnosing data quality issues and implementing practical solutions to prevent recurrence.

What's in it for You?
