The Data Steward ensures that master data is accurate, complete, consistent, compliant and delivered on time – protecting End-to-End data integrity across processes and the IT landscape, and enabling reliable Order-to-Cash, Source-to-Pay, Make-to-Market and Record-to-Report operations.
This is your chance for a ‘once in a lifetime’ career experience, playing a part in the creation of a fully independent, new FMCG company and a greenfield GBS organization.

You tasks in detail:
1. Master Data Operations & Stewardship (Customer MD)

• Support & orchestrate along with 3PSP, execution of end-to-end creation, modification, extension, blocking and deactivation of Customer, Vendor (including non-trade customers), Product/Material and Finance (GL) master data records, and dependent data (prices, material costs), in SAP / SAP MDG per agreed SLAs and data standards.
• Coordinate customer master data set-up requests across markets, ensuring complete and validated business inputs (including business sign-off) before execution, and routing approvals correctly – respecting that certain approvals (e.g., UK&I customer accounts) must remain with a direct employee as an audit requirement.
• Support the Material-to-Market (M2M) process with product master data stewardship: product master creation, enrichment, external product data management (EPDM), pricing and costing data coordination with the relevant owners (e.g., Pricing and NPD Costing teams).
• Maintain segregation of duties (SoD) between data creation and data approval in all workflows.
• Support EDI-related master data activities where bundled with MDM scope (e.g., customer EDI onboarding, set-up and maintenance data).
• Maintain and reconcile master-data-relevant system interfaces, resolving interface exceptions with IT and the 3PSP where required.

• Monitor data quality KPIs (completeness, accuracy, uniqueness, timeliness) against defined thresholds; run duplicate detection (e.g., duplicate vendor/customer checks) and drive remediation.
• Apply and help maintain data quality rules and validation checks (mandatory fields such as DUNS number, Tax ID, bank keys; format and length rules; value sets) as defined by Business Information Experts (BIEs) and Domain Leads.
• Act as first reviewer of the data defect log – triage, allocate defects to the right owners (BIE/BPE/IT BA), track resolution and prevent recurrence through root-cause analysis.
• Enforce master data governance policies, retention rules, access controls and compliance/audit controls in daily operations; provide data extracts and information to support internal and external audits.
• Use enrichment sources (e.g., D&B / Dun & Bradstreet) to complete and validate vendor/customer records.

• Participate in market deep-dives to document local MDM activity lists, role scopes and ownership matrices ahead of transition (e.g., Sweden, Spain activity-split alignment, Belgium/Netherlands residual approval scope).
• Receive knowledge transfer from local market teams and 3PSP counterparts following structured KT plans (typically 6–8 weeks KT, ramp-up and hypercare/run phases), and document standard operating procedures and work instructions.
• Support data migration preparation and execution for the SAP MDG greenfield implementation: source-to-target mapping validation, relevancy/source rules, value mapping and harmonization, pre-load data quality checks, and analysis of pre-/post-load reports with the Data Migration Expert (DME) to resolve mismatches and exceptions.
• Verify no residual MDM activities remain in sending markets at TSA exit and flag gaps or net-new scope to the MDM Team Lead.

• Work day-to-day with the 3PSP execution teams (e.g., Genpact) on MDM creation and maintenance for the CEE cluster and other markets; monitor 3PSP output quality, SLAs and KPIs, and escalate performance issues to GBS MDM operations management.
• Act as liaison between local market/business contacts, MDM coordinators, Business Process Owners/Experts, IT Business Analysts and the GBS MDM team for queries, issues and change requests.
• Communicate status, data quality insights and improvement opportunities clearly to stakeholders across levels and geographies; build trusted relationships with sending markets during and after transition.

• Uphold the enterprise data model, business glossary, metadata definitions and value sets for the assigned domains; document data definitions and process flows using standard templates and tools within Enterprise Information Management.
• Contribute to the design and continuous improvement of MDM processes and SAP MDG workflows; identify and promote standardization, automation and simplification opportunities.
• Support the MDM function set-up in GBS: help define workflows, contribute to capability building, and mentor new team members as the team scales.

• Bachelor’s degree (B.Tech/B.E./B.Com or equivalent) required; Master’s degree preferred.
• 3–6+ years of hands-on experience in master data operations / data stewardship across one or more of the Customer, Vendor, Material/Product or Finance data domains, ideally in a GBS/shared services or FMCG environment.
• Strong working knowledge of SAP master data objects and transactions (SAP MM/SD/FI vendor, customer, material and GL master data); hands-on SAP MDG experience (workflows, change requests, data quality rules) is a strong advantage.
• Experience supporting data migration and cleansing activities (source-to-target mapping, value mapping, pre-/post-load validation) in ERP transformation programs.
• Experience of transitions/knowledge transfer of processes into shared services, and of working with third-party service providers is highly desirable.
• Understanding of data governance frameworks and concepts (e.g., DAMA-DMBOK: data quality, metadata, data ownership, stewardship) and of compliance requirements (SoD, audit controls, data retention, access management).
• Knowledge of E2E business processes that consume master data: Order-to-Cash, Source-to-Pay, Make-to-Market/Plan-to-Deliver, Record-to-Report.
• Advanced Excel capability (lookups, pivots, data profiling of large datasets); experience with data quality/profiling tools is a plus.
• Exposure to EDI set-up, D&B enrichment services, or procurement platforms (e.g., Ivalua) integrating with SAP vendor master is a plus.
• Experience with agile ways of working / DevOps is a plus.

• High attention to detail with a strong quality and compliance mindset; determination to deliver on time and in full.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including data profiling and root-cause analysis of data defects.
• Clear structure and communication skills with business stakeholders, migration teams, IT and partner operations; able to challenge inputs constructively and influence counterparts.
• Strong team player who works effectively across cultures, time zones and levels; comfortable operating in a fast-changing transition environment with ambiguity.
• Service orientation: manages request queues, prioritizes against SLAs and keeps requestors informed.
• Language: fluent English required; additional European languages (e.g., Spanish, French, Greek, Swedish, Polish, Romanian) are an advantage for market-facing stewardship during transition.

• Long-term and stable cooperation;
• Benefit platform;
• Organized training sessions during the first weeks and further upskilling courses (online, with our experts);
• 22 paid vacation days in the first year plus 2 more paid vacation days starting with the second year;
• Modern, cozy and central location in Bucharest;
• Teamwork in a multicultural environment;
• Medical subscription and life assurance.
