The ideal candidate will possess deep knowledge of AI/ML technologies, cloud platforms, retail business processes, and enterprise architecture., * Current-State Assessment: Profile and assess existing product and item data across PLM, ERP, supply chain and downstream systems. Identify duplication, attribute gaps, inconsistent classification, and the process breakpoints that create them. * Target-State Architecture and High-Level Design: Define the product master data model - item and part entities, hierarchies, product families, variants and configurations, reference data and classification schemes - and establish clear system-of-record boundaries between PLM, ERP and the MDM platform. * Manufacturing Domain Design: Address part numbering and item lifecycle, BOM and configuration relationships, engineering change management, attribute governance by product family, and the path from new product introduction to a sellable, orderable and manufacturable item. * Integration Architecture: Define, at a conceptual and logical level, how product data is sourced, mastered and syndicated across PLM, ERP, planning, quote-to-cash and analytics platforms, and recommend appropriate integration patterns. * Match, Merge and Survivorship Strategy: Define the matching, trust and survivorship approach for item data, recognizing that product domain matching differs materially from customer or party domain matching. * Data Quality and Governance Framework: Define data quality dimensions, rules, measures and exception handling. Define stewardship roles, data ownership and the operating cadence between engineering, supply chain, product and IT. * Roadmap and Phasing: Sequence the programme into releases with clear business outcomes, dependencies, prerequisites and indicative effort. * Stakeholder Facilitation: Run design workshops across engineering, supply chain, product management, quality and IT, and build consensus on contested design decisions. * Advisory Deliverables: Produce high-level design documents, architecture and data flow diagrams, the logical data model, the governance operating model, and the implementation roadmap. * Design Assurance: Provide architectural oversight and design review to implementation teams during execution. ## Related Videos - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [Hacking AI at the Edge of the Indian Ocean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100177-hacking-ai-at-the-edge-of-the-indian-ocean) - [Beyond SQL Generation: How to Teach Agents What Your Database Actually Means](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100127-beyond-sql-generation-how-to-teach-agents-what-your-database-actually-means) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) ## Related Articles - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies)
