You will be required to complete an initial assessment to create a data strategy, leading key business stakeholders along the way. You will know what 'good' looks like and be able to put forward ideas on how to fix the long-standing data issues.

Client Details

Our client is a global supply chain company with a strong presence in their market in the UK. This role will be based out of their Manchester office. Over the years data governance and data management have not been a priority for this company. As new systems have been adopted there has been very limited consideration of the impact on master data. As a result, the quality of the customer master data contained within the core ERP & CRM is very poor and is inhibiting the ability to leverage the systems for commercial opportunities. This is also adding significant additional complexity to integration and automation opportunities.

This is where you come in.

• Complete initial data gap assessment and assist in presenting a value proposition to key stakeholders in the business.
• Define the data management strategy with the objective of problem definition, strategy development, and business case.
