As we grow our Data Team, we are looking for a talent who can take over the Master Data responsibilities during a period of project change. This is a key role in the organisation that is ensuring all product related data is accurate and applied on time to core systems, allowing development, ordering, production, shipping, sales and invoicing processes to be carried out.

You’ll have an interest in both numbers and product and will ideally have a background in a similar data-driven role within a retail or wholesale environment.
We are looking for an experienced Master Data SME who can quickly understand, take over the current Master Data processes and help to transform them into a standardized, effective, and future-proof version of them into our new ERP system.

- Maintain a shared sample tracker and create sample items in the NAV.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that stakeholders’ needs are met, and issues are resolved in a timely and effective manner.
- Become the superuser of Smartsheet by creating and managing seasonal sheets and reports and maintaining the connections within Smartsheet and with other systems.
- Execute the data strategy and support adoption and usage of the new platforms.
- Propose master data process optimization solutions.
