[US DC] Manager Master Data & Systems Integration
About The Position
At Factor, our business moves as fast as our production lines. To stay ahead, our data must be flawless. We are looking for a Manager of Master Data & Systems Integration to own the end-to-end lifecycle of our product data. You will be the architect of our SKU "source of truth," ensuring that every data point—from the initial procurement of raw ingredients to the final plating and fulfillment scan—is accurate, scalable, and technically sound. Your primary challenge will be harmonization. Currently, Factor’s unique operational needs are often met with localized workarounds. You will be the primary liaison between Factor and the Global Tech teams, defending Factor’s technical requirements while leading the transition to a unified global toolset. In this role, you aren't just managing a database; you are owning the operational narrative of our product. You must understand the "life of a SKU" better than anyone else. You will sit at the intersection of Culinary, Supply Chain, and Global Engineering, ensuring that our systems speak the same language. You will be the "Voice of Factor" in global forums, ensuring that as we move toward one unified tool, our specific complexities in Ready-to-Eat (RTE) production are prioritized and preserved.

- Actively embed AI features and copilots into core operational workflows—including the use of prompt libraries and shared AI instructions—to move teams from manual workarounds to consistent, value-generating decision-making and improved cycle times.
- Ensure all system integrations (API and schema alignment) are architecturally sound to support mid-term, AI-driven automation initiatives, such as Touchless Ordering, predictive cost models, and autonomous operations at scale.
- Oversee the SKU onboarding process, ensuring that new ingredients and recipes move through the system with zero data bottlenecks. Develop and oversee SKU retirement process as part of lifecycle management.
- When a data discrepancy causes a production delay or a fulfillment error, you will lead the investigation to fix the systemic root cause, not just the symptom.
- Establish auditing practice for F_ master data including both completeness and accuracy.
