• Own and operate enterprise Master Data Management (MDM) across HCP/HCO and Payer domains, including match/merge survivorship, hierarchies, lineage, and stewardship workflows.
• Define and enforce data standards, metadata, and a single source of truth across Bronze/Silver/Gold layers; ensure domain-based models and analytics-ready outputs.
• Establish a unified Data Quality Management (DQM) capability: centralized rule catalog, monitoring, alerting, SLAs, and root-cause remediation.
• Lead the management and continuous improvement of the enterprise data catalog, ensuring comprehensive metadata, data lineage, and business glossary coverage; drive adoption and data discoverability across the organization.
• (Experience with Informatica IDMC preferred.)
• Launch and run a business-facing Issue Intake & Triage service with clear ownership, SLAs, and communication; publish operational dashboards and KPIs.

• Deliver Reporting-Ready Data (RRDs), data dictionaries, and a governed KPI catalog for critical business use cases.
• Partner with IT Data Infrastructure on medallion architecture, security/compliance, lineage, and performance; drive platform and model reuse.
• Manage vendor ecosystem with RACI, SLAs, and QBRs; collaborate with PMO to improve execution quality and reduce total cost of ownership.
• Hire, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary data team (MDM, DQM, stewardship, service management); build internal SMEs to reduce outsourced dependency.

• 10–15+ years in enterprise data management with hands-on MDM (match/merge, survivorship, lineage) and domain modelling; 5–8+ years working with pharma/commercial data (HCP/HCO, payer, hub/SP, CRM, omnichannel, sales) strongly preferred
• Demonstrated subject-matter expertise and deep domain/data knowledge; track record translating business requirements into scalable data solutions and measurable outcomes
• Experience building unified DQM (rule catalog, monitoring, SLAs) and operating business-facing issue intake portals
• Experience managing and optimizing enterprise data catalogs (Informatica IDMC or equivalent strongly preferred)
• Proficiency with Informatica DQ/Catalog
