Master Data Management Strategy Lead

Job Description

Job description

From offshore operations to business processes, bring structure and consistency to master data across the organization.

Your role in the story

As a Master Data Management (MDM) Specialist, you are responsible for structuring and improving how master data is managed across Heerema, including data related to customers, employees and products.

Master Data Management is still in a build-up phase within the organization. We have clear ambitions to improve data quality and establish more consistent ways of working. Your role is to bring these initiatives together into one sustainable MDM approach that supports the business as it continues to grow.

You coordinate MDM activities centrally and provide functional leadership to Data Stewards. By connecting different data domains, you ensure consistency, set priorities and drive tangible improvements. You know when to align stakeholders, when to challenge existing ways of working and when to make decisions that move the organization forward.

You report to the Data & Analytics Lead and work closely with both business and IT. You understand the organizational context and know how to create alignment and drive change across different stakeholders.

Where you will be working on

Coordinating and further developing the central MDM approach across the organization

Functionally guiding and supporting Data Stewards (currently 2, with potential growth)

Ensuring alignment and consistency across different master data domains

Defining and embedding data governance, standards and ways of working

Improving data quality through frameworks, KPIs and monitoring

Key ingredients for success

Minimum of 5 years of experience in Master Data Management, data governance and data quality

Strong understanding of MDM concepts, governance frameworks and operating models

Experience working in an ERP-driven, project-based environment, preferably with SAP

Ability to translate business needs into sustainable data standards, rules and processes

Experience guiding and influencing professionals without direct line-management responsibility

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Analytical, structured and continuously focused on improvement

Decisive, able to set priorities and balance governance with business needs

Your future colleagues

You will work closely with Data Stewards, business stakeholders and IT, collaborating to build a strong and future-proof data foundation for the organization.

Your foundation for success

We believe strong data foundations require ownership, collaboration and a proactive mindset. You enjoy creating structure in an evolving environment and know how to bring people together around a shared way of working. You take initiative, identify opportunities for improvement and ensure that changes are successfully implemented and embedded across the organization.

Here's why people love working with us
