• You design and document end-to-end master data processes. You define the workflows for data creation, enrichment, approval, and distribution, and systematically close process gaps at system handover points across all domains (Product, Vendor, Customer, Finance, Logistics)
• You implement data quality rules within the systems, monitor technical MDM key performance indicators (KPIs), and drive continuous improvement processes from a technical perspective
• You ensure stable interfaces to downstream systems and are responsible for seamless, top-tier documentation of data models and integration architectures

• You have deep knowledge of SAP master data (Material, Business Partner, Pricing, BOM, etc.) and are fully proficient with PIM and PLM systems as well as modern system integrations (API, ETL, etc.). A clear understanding of CRM, WMS, and e-commerce landscapes rounds off your profile
• You are characterized by a highly analytical and structured mindset, with the ability to translate complex technical topics clearly for business stakeholders
• An autonomous, quality-driven working style is second nature to you. You stand out as a team player and speak fluent German and English
