• Strong SAP expertise (ECC and/or S/4HANA), including Material Master, BOMs, Routings, and related manufacturing data.
• Experience within a manufacturing, engineering, or industrial environment, with an understanding of how high-quality data underpins operational performance.

• Knowledge of PLM processes, product structures, engineering change management, and data governance principles.
• Experience of working with customer data ensuring the highest standards of data quality, accuracy, and integrity.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on data accuracy, integrity, and continuous improvement.
• The ability to build strong relationships and influence stakeholders across functions, regions, and levels of the organisation.
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with the confidence to challenge, improve processes, and drive high data standards.
