This leader will define and execute the enterprise data strategy for master data (product, vendor, customer, item), build the target-state architecture across MDM platforms and middleware, and ensure master data is accurate, consistent, governed, and seamlessly integrated across downstream systems and analytics. Define integration architecture: lead how MDM interacts with middleware (API gateways, ESB/bus, message queues, event streams, file exchanges), and how master data flows to ERP, supply-chain systems, merchandising, e-commerce, analytics, and reporting systems.
