You ensure the accuracy, consistency, and integrity of product data across the portfolio, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including marketing, supply chain, R&D, and IT.

You will have the opportunity to rotate across these expertise groups over time.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Ensuring product data accuracy, completeness, and synchronisation with global standards such as GS1 GDSN and other product data interfaces;
• Establishing and maintaining data governance policies, overseeing master data creation and maintenance, and driving regulatory compliance across local and international requirements;
• Identifying and implementing continuous improvements to data management processes, monitoring innovations, and supporting markets with operational capacity challenges.

You are a detail-oriented professional with strong analytical skills and a proactive mindset. You work effectively in cross-functional and cross-country settings, embracing cultural diversity and virtual collaboration. In addition, you bring:

• Proficiency in English and strong communication skills to convey data requirements clearly to stake holders;
• Experience or affinity with Product Information Management (PIM), data integration, and data governance;
• The ability to manage change, lead process improvement initiatives, and persuade teams to adopt data standards;
• A continuous improvement mindset combined with practical creativity and enterprising behaviour.
