This role involves defining and leading the SAP MDG strategy, roadmap, and capabilities. The focus is on implementing, enhancing, and supporting SAP MDG solutions across critical master data domains. A key aspect is establishing and governing master data processes, policies, standards, and controls to ensure enterprise-wide data quality and consistency.

The position requires close partnership with business stakeholders to align master data needs with strategic objectives and regulatory compliance. The incumbent will drive process standardization and promote best practices for all master data lifecycle activities, from creation to stewardship.

Key responsibilities include managing demand intake, prioritization, release planning, and ensuring successful testing, deployment, and post-go-live support. Coordination with various teams (functional, data, integration, analytics, technology) is essential for end-to-end data governance alignment. Overseeing operational support, incident resolution, service performance, and continuous improvement initiatives are also critical.

Furthermore, defining and monitoring performance indicators, data quality metrics, and compliance measures will be integral. Leading governance forums and stakeholder discussions to facilitate decision-making and process enhancements is expected. Managing relationships with vendors and implementation partners will also fall under this role's purview.

A minimum of 8–12 years of experience in SAP master data, data governance, enterprise applications, or business process management is required. Candidates should possess over 5 years of hands-on experience with SAP MDG solution ownership, implementation, or capability leadership.

Proven success in delivering enterprise master data governance initiatives and transformation programs is essential. Experience managing global stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and operational support environments is also necessary. Familiarity with multiple master data domains, including Business Partner, Customer, Vendor, Material, Finance, or Product, is a significant advantage.
