## Description

We are a consulting firm that helps life sciences companies, locally and globally, get their commercial data right, from master data and data platforms to customer engagement programmes.

This role has two sides.

What you'll do:

With clients:

 * Act as lead data architect on MDM and data platform programmes for life sciences clients
 * Set up and run data governance, including ownership, standards and decision rights
 * Chair design authority meetings and make the architecture calls across MDM, data platform and CRM integration
 * Work with client stakeholders, from business owners to IT leadership

Inside BASE:

 * Manage and develop consultants in our data team
 * Lead or contribute to RFP responses and solution proposals
 * Present in client orals and pre-sales meetings
 * Share knowledge and help grow our data practice, If you find this position intriguing, don't delay-submit your application in English at your earliest convenience. We are continuously reviewing and assessing all incoming candidates and eagerly await your application.
