Position Summary
The Master Data Specialist owns the accuracy, completeness, and governance of supply chain master data across the organization's ERP and business systems. This is a hands-on role in an organization that is actively building its data foundation: the analyst will not only maintain records but help define the standards, processes, and controls that do not fully exist today.
The role covers four core data domains — materials/items, vendors/suppliers, customers, and BOMs/routings — and requires someone comfortable working across multiple systems, executing high-volume data updates, and bringing structure where processes are still informal.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of hands-on experience in master data maintenance within a supply chain, manufacturing, or distribution environment.
• Demonstrated experience performing master data creation and mass updates directly in at least one major ERP (e.g., SAP, Oracle/NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365); ability to learn additional systems quickly, as this role works across multiple platforms.
• Working knowledge of at least two of the four data domains: material/item master, vendor master, customer master, BOMs/routings.
• IA skills and Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables, data cleaning at scale); experience with data upload/import templates and validation.
• High attention to detail with a documented track record of accuracy in high-volume data work.
• Ability to write clear process documentation and communicate data standards to non-technical colleagues.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in an organization building master data governance from an early stage (defining standards rather than inheriting them).
• Exposure to data quality or MDM tools, SQL, or Power BI/reporting tools.
• Experience supporting an ERP implementation, migration, or consolidation.
• Understanding of how master data drives downstream processes: MRP, procurement, costing, and order management.
• APICS/ASCM (CPIM) or similar supply chain certification.

Responsibilities

• Create, update, extend, and deactivate master data records (items/materials, vendors, customers, BOMs, routings) across all ERP and connected systems.
• Execute mass data updates and migrations using system tools, upload templates, and data-loading utilities; validate results before and after changes.
• Ensure cross-system consistency: when a record changes in one system, verify and synchronize dependent systems and downstream processes.
• Process master data change requests within defined SLAs, verifying completeness and required approvals before entry.
• Run recurring data quality audits (duplicates, missing fields, inconsistent units of measure, invalid statuses, orphaned BOM components) and remediate findings.
• Establish and maintain data quality KPIs and dashboards; report accuracy and completeness metrics to your manager on a defined cadence.
• Lead data cleansing initiatives, including preparation for system implementations, upgrades, or acquisitions.
• Help define and document master data standards: naming conventions, field definitions, mandatory attributes, and approval workflows for each data domain.
• Draft and maintain SOPs and work instructions for master data creation and change processes.
• Act as gatekeeper: challenge incomplete or non-standard data requests and route them through the correct approval path.
• Support the rollout of data governance practices to other departments (procurement, sales, finance, operations) that consume or submit master data.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for master data questions from procurement, planning, warehouse, sales, and finance teams.
• Support ERP projects, integrations, and system testing where master data is involved (UAT, data validation, cutover support).
• Produce ad hoc analyses and extracts (e.g., item usage, vendor rationalization, BOM cost roll-up inputs) as requested.
