Summary

DAI is advancing how the enterprise creates, governs, and uses data. This role leads two connected functions: Master Data and Business Intelligence and Reporting. On the master data side, you own the enterprise master data governance operating model and the functional and business process design that govern how foundational data is created, updated, enriched, validated, approved, activated, deactivated, merged, and retired across its lifecycle. On the reporting side, you own enterprise BI and reporting governance, semantic-model and reporting standards, delivery discipline, prioritization, and the analytics Center of Excellence.

Some master data domains are live and require more mature governance; others remain in design. The reporting operating model is also being established. During the first year, you will work closely with business owners, IT, implementation partners, and team members to review designs, challenge assumptions, resolve issues, set priorities, and establish durable operating practices across both sub-functions.

You serve as the coordinating point for master data and reporting issues that cross functional or system boundaries. You resolve matters within the function's scope and drive cross-functional issues to the appropriate business, IT, or implementation-partner owner, coordinating decisions, action, escalation, and follow-through until resolution.

Duties and ResponsibilitiesMaster Data

• Own and mature the enterprise master data governance operating model across foundational data domains, including Customer, Vendor, Item/Product, Material, Reference Data, and related manufacturing master data and structures such as raw materials, finished goods, BOMs, and formulas.

• Define the decision-right framework, stewardship responsibilities, standards and controls, data lifecycle processes, service expectations, issue-management practices, and escalation paths that govern those domains. Business and domain owners retain accountability for business decisions, attribute values, and business data quality within their areas.

• Establish and ensure effective operation of governed workflows across the master data lifecycle, including creation, update, enrichment, validation, approval, activation, deactivation, merge, and retirement. Apply risk-based approval and exception processes that support timely standard transactions and appropriate review of nonstandard requests.
