• Process Optimization: Identify recurring data bottlenecks or manual tasks and suggest opportunities for automation or workflow improvements.

• Project Support: Assist in data mapping, migration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) during system upgrades or integration projects.

What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days

• 30 Days: Shadow the team, complete onboarding on our core ERP/MDM workflows, and take ownership of basic, day-to-day data entry requests.

• 60 Days: Independently manage incoming master data tickets across core domains, adhering strictly to response SLAs and accuracy standards.

• 90 Days: Identify at least one area for process improvement and present a plan to execute it alongside the MDM team.
