• Champion new technologies and "Master Data Stories," coordinating developments that follow the global service offerings roadmap.
• Maintain global item data in SAP while ensuring all process documentation is accessible and up-to-date for global stakeholders.
• Own the end-to-end success of data solutions—from initial design and implementation to long-term maintenance and performance improvement.
