You hold overarching ownership of the master data model and attribute logic across all relevant domains. You define field attributes, mandatory fields and validation rules.
You determine the system of record (SOR) for each master data object, document data flows across the system landscape, and define synchronization logic, replication rules and error handling in close coordination with integration teams.
You take technical responsibility for all MDM-related interfaces between SAP, PIM (Akeneo), CRM, WMS (Lea), PLM (Centric) and other systems. In doing so, you reduce complexity, avoid technical workarounds and support data migrations from extraction through validation.
You design and document end-to-end master data processes. You define workflows for creation, enrichment, approval and distribution of data and proactively close process gaps at system handover points for all domains (product, supplier, customer, finance, logistics).
You implement data quality rules in the systems, monitor technical MDM metrics (KPIs) and drive continuous improvement initiatives from a technical perspective.
You ensure stable interfaces to downstream systems and are responsible for comprehensive, top-tier documentation of data models and integration architectures.

You have at least 6 years of solid professional experience in data architecture, MDM or SAP master data management and have demonstrably modeled master data structures in large transformation projects.
Ideally, you have a good understanding of the FMCG, food, dietary supplements or retail industries.
You possess deep knowledge of SAP master data (material, business partner, pricing, BOM etc.) and are fully familiar with PIM and PLM systems as well as modern system integrations (APIs, ETL etc.). A clear understanding of CRM, WMS and e‑commerce landscapes completes your profile.
You demonstrate a highly analytical, structured mindset and can translate complex technical issues into understandable terms for business stakeholders.
A self-driven, quality-oriented working style is natural for you. You are a team player and fluent in German and English.
