Data Analyst – Master Data Management

You have the opportunity to join our team and tackle business challenges in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment characterized by close collaboration with business stakeholders.

As a Data Analyst – Master Data Management, you will turn master data and operational information into actionable insights that improve data quality, service performance, process efficiency and decision-making across the EMEA region of a global market leader in chemical and ingredients distribution.

This is a new role with a high degree of ownership in an international environment. You will work at the intersection of data analytics, Master Data Management and SAP transformation, with a strong initial focus on supporting the region's SAP S/4HANA implementation and go-live. Working across Customer, Vendor/Business Partner and Material/Product master data, you will analyze complex datasets, improve data quality, support migration and reconciliation, find root causes of data issues, build dashboards and help automate data-management processes. In this senior position you will own investigations end to end, recommend solutions and coordinate remediation across teams.

Your Role and Responsibilities:

• SAP S/4HANA Transformation & Data Migration: Help make sure master data is accurate, complete, harmonized and ready for migration. Perform data profiling, cleansing, enrichment, transformation and reconciliation across Customer, Vendor/Business Partner and Material/Product data; support source-to-target mapping, migration-readiness assessments, validation and testing; support pre-go-live validation, post-go-live reconciliation and stabilization.
• Data Analytics & Insight: Use SQL and analytical techniques to extract, combine, profile and validate data across SAP and related sources. Identify trends, anomalies and data-quality issues, and turn complex data into clear, actionable insights for operational and business stakeholders.
• Data Quality & Remediation: Find quality gaps, duplicates and inconsistencies; investigate root causes of recurring issues and recommend corrective and preventive actions; coordinate remediation with Master Data Operations, data owners, business teams and IT, and check that improvements last.
• Reporting, Dashboards & Automation: Build dashboards that make master data quality and operational performance transparent. Automate repetitive data-management, validation and reporting tasks, partnering with IT and data engineering for production integrations and pipelines.
• Process Improvement & Collaboration: Analyze and simplify master data processes such as request intake, approvals, duplicate checks and exception handling. Work across countries, functions and cultures, and communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

Your Skills and Experiences:

• Strong practical experience with Customer, Vendor/Business Partner and Material/Product master data.
• Hands-on experience with SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA master data and data structures.
• Practical experience supporting SAP S/4HANA transformation or data migration: profiling, cleansing, mapping, transformation, reconciliation, validation, testing, cutover and post-go-live checks.
• Strong hands-on SQL skills (joins, aggregations, profiling, reconciliation and validation of large datasets) and advanced Excel skills.
• Experience in data analytics, SAP data management, master data management, data quality or data migration.
• Experience investigating data defects, performing root-cause analysis and coordinating remediation with business and technical teams.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across business, IT and transformation teams.
• Ability to work independently and manage several priorities in a complex regional or global environment.
• Exposure to SAP MDG, Power BI or other reporting tools, Python, UiPath or Databricks is a plus.
• Knowledge of the chemical distribution industry is a plus.
• Fluency in English (spoken and written) is essential; German is a plus.
