Role Summary:
The Lead Data Architect owns the design of the customer golden record and all matching, deduplication, and hierarchy logic for the project. As no MDM platform is in place, this role designs and builds the data quality architecture from scratch rather than configuring an existing tool. This is the most critical and least compressible role on the project and the primary owner of long-term data governance continuity.

Key Responsibilities:
- Map source schemas from legacy CRMs (3 confirmed, up to 6 total) to the target ERP Customer Master.
- Negotiate and document field-level survivorship matrices with business and financial stakeholders.
- Define the golden record model: attributes, hierarchies, and relationship types.
- Design the account hierarchy model to represent OEM, supplier, and dealer relationships, including variable ownership and multi-brand dealer structures.
- Design matching, deduplication, and survivorship rules (custom logic - fuzzy/phonetic matching, scoring, weighting) in the absence of a commercial MDM platform.



Use of AI tools and Agents is strongly recommended.
- Incorporate data privacy, security, and compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) into the data model and architecture from the outset.
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to define data ownership, establish data governance workflows, and assist in designing the operating model for long-term MDM adoption.
- Define current rules and guidelines for Account and contracts in CRM systems (to ensure most clean data is ELT ready).
- Define the system-of-record matrix: which system (ERP or CRM) is authoritative for which field.
- Own data quality KPIs, define cutover/test-readiness criteria, and contribute to overall project performance metrics (e.g., data accuracy improvement, duplicate reduction).
- Lead the Phase 0 account hierarchy validation workshop using real ownership/brand edge cases from the business.
- Evaluate and document where AI-assisted matching may responsibly sup
