We are looking for a detail-oriented Data Steward to ensure the accuracy, consistency, completeness and reliability of procurement master data across our systems. The role ensures that Material Master Data is correctly structured, governed, and maintained to effectively support sourcing, purchasing, P2P execution, and reliable reporting.
The position drives procurement and material data standards, contributes to the development and evolution of the procurement data model, and ensures alignment between master data and business requirements, particularly category strategies and procurement processes. A strong understanding of Material Master Data maintenance and its dependencies on pricing, sourcing, and procurement execution is essential.
The Procurement Data Steward acts as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for procurement and material master data topics, performing root cause analysis of data issues and coordinating sustainable solutions with master data execution teams, IT, and business stakeholders. The role supports data governance, process improvement, and digitalization initiatives, ensuring procurement master data readiness for both current operations and future system and data model developments.

• Perform data validation and consistency checks; identify data gaps, anomalies, and structural weaknesses. - Issue Resolution / SPOC Role
• Act as the SPOC for procurement and material master data issues impacting sourcing, purchasing, or reporting.
• Perform root cause analysis of recurring data issues (process, governance, system, or user behavior).
• Coordinate sustainable fixes with IT, master data, procurement, and analytics teams. - Process Improvement & Enablement
• Identify opportunities to improve material and procurement master data processes, reducing manual rework and operational inefficiencies.
• Support digitalization and automation initiatives related to master data management.
• Ensure procurement and material master data readiness for reporting and analytics, including spend analysis and performance reporting. - Collaboration & Documentation
• Collaborate closely with Category Managers to align material and procurement master data with category strategies.
• Support creation and maintenance of data documentation, guidelines, rulebooks, and process descriptions.
• Contribute to effective cross functional cooperation within procurement, P2P, analytics, IT, and governance teams.
