• Define the key data domains (e.g., customer, product, supplier) to be included in the MDM program and develop a roadmap for implementation.
• Collaborate with business and IT teams to identify data integration points, establish data standards, and ensure the seamless management of critical data.
• Define and implement best practices for data governance, including data ownership, stewardship, and accountability.

• Work closely with IT and business stakeholders to ensure MDM tools and technologies are selected, configured, and deployed effectively.
• Develop and manage project plans for the rollout, ensuring that timelines, resources, and budgets are adhered to.
• Implement MDM processes to integrate data from multiple systems (e.g., ERP, CRM, and other legacy systems), ensuring consistency and accuracy of the master data.
• Oversee the migration of data to MDM systems, ensuring data quality, integrity, and completeness.

3. Data Quality Framework Ramp-Up

• Define, design, and deploy a robust Data Quality Framework to maintain and improve data quality standards across the organization.
• Set up data quality metrics (e.g., completeness, accuracy, timeliness) and implement monitoring systems to track data quality over time.
• Work with business and IT teams to design and implement data cleansing, validation, and enrichment strategies.
• Ensure that data quality processes are embedded into everyday operations and aligned with the MDM strategy.

4. Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management

• Work closely with business stakeholders to gather requirements, understand data needs, and ensure alignment with business goals.
• Establish and maintain relationships with data stewards, business analysts, and technical teams to ensure that MDM practices are successfully adopted.
• Lead training and awareness programs on MDM and data quality best practices for business and technical teams.
• Drive change management efforts to ensure smooth adoption of new data governance practices across the organization.
• Lead ongoing assessments of the MDM and Data Quality Framework to ensure it evolves in response to business needs and technological advancements.
