1. Job Description
Reporting to the MDM Global Process Owner the MDM Capability Lead leads a team of 2-3
employees and is responsible for defining, designing and enabling enterprise data capabilities
across Product, Business Partner and Finance domains. The incumbent ensures that data-
related workflows, rules, integrations and governance mechanisms are designed once and
implemented consistently across the enterprise landscape, including SAP S/4 HANA, SAP
MDG, BRF+, Collibra and connected systems.
A key focus of the role is to design and enable end-to-end orchestration of data processes
across systems, ensuring that data objects, workflows and rules operate as one coherent model




across business processes and platforms.
The role requires a solid understanding of S/4-based data objects and their interaction across
end-to-end processes, ensuring consistent integration and execution beyond individual tools or
platforms.
The incumbent acts as the bridge between business requirements (defined by Data Stewards
and GPO) and scalable system implementation (delivered by Business Technology), ensuring
reuse, consistency and alignment across active and passive governance layers.
This role is not responsible for technical build or operational execution, but for shaping and
enabling enterprise-wide design patterns, orchestration logic and scalable capability
frameworks, including the integration of automation and AI-driven approaches.
A key expectation of the role is to ensure that data capabilities are designed for scale and reuse
across data domains and systems while maintaining a pragmatic approach
