Director Master Data and Systems
Paragraph about role: "The Director, Master Data and Systems is responsible for defining and executing the global Master Data strategy for CHI Supply Chain, ensuring high-quality, standardized, and governed data that enables operational excellence, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making across the enterprise. As the functional leader for Master Data, Analytics, Governance, and Systems within Supply Chain, the role establishes the long-term vision, operating model, governance framework, and capabilities required to support business growth and evolving customer needs. The position drives the transformation of data management practices by identifying capability gaps, prioritizing strategic initiatives, and delivering sustainable solutions that enhance supply chain performance and business outcomes. Working closely with Supply Chain, Commercial, Quality, Manufacturing, Finance, and IT leaders, the position translates business requirements into scalable data and system solutions, drives adoption of global standards, and embeds a culture of data ownership, governance, and continuous improvement. A critical component of the role is ensuring operational readiness as the business moves into a standalone environment, including system implementations, carve-outs, acquisitions, and operating model changes. The position is accountable for establishing independent Master Data, Analytics, and Systems capabilities that enable a successful transition to a standalone Shared Services operating model while ensuring uninterrupted business continuity."
Then "What You Will Get" bullet list: An agile career and dynamic working culture; An inclusive and ethical workplace; Compensation programs that recognize high performance; A variety of benefits dependent on role and location; The full list of our global benefits can be also found on https://www.lonza.com/careers/benefits .
Then "What You Will Do" with sub-sections: Master Data Strategy & Governance; Data Quality, Lifecycle Management and change management; Organizational Build-Out & Shared Services Transformation; Continuous Improvement & Compliance; Organization Leadership. Each with bullet points.
Then "What We Are Looking For": Master’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain, Data Management, or a related field. 10+ years of relevant experience in Master Data Management, Data Governance and Supply Chain. Deep technical/functional experience with SAP Master Data structures, data architecture, and ERP implementations. Demonstrated expertise in defining data quality KPIs, change control processes and reporting dashboards. Analytical skills and leadership skills to combine the management of a big team with the project based activities. Fluency in English (spoken and written). Proactive mindset Self-starter & Decision-maker Autonomous Leadership Strong Plus Proven track record of managing large global teams, including external vendors and Shared Service Centers (preferably also in India). Hands-on experience leading organizational carve-outs, legacy transitions, or building standalone Shared Services.
Then "About Lonza" paragraph.
We need to output sections: About the role (maybe the initial description), Responsibilities (the "What You Will Do" content), Requirements (maybe "What We Are Looking For"), Qualifications (maybe education and experience?), Skills (maybe skills like analytical, leadership, fluency English, proactive mindset, etc.), Benefits (What You Will Get), Pay (none specific), Schedule (none). Since Pay and Schedule not specified, we should NOT include those sections.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Benefits: we have specific bullet points: agile career, inclusive workplace, compensation programs, variety of benefits dependent on role and location, link to benefits. That's specific enough.
We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. The "About Lonza" is maybe not boilerplate but could be considered company description; we could include as "About the company" but not required headings. The instructions only list specific headings; we can include others if they have substantive content? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but better to stick to those. We could treat "About Lonza" as part of "About the role" or maybe omit. The instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine company description into About the role.
Thus sections:
- About the role: includes location paragraph and role description.
- Responsibilities: the "What You Will Do" content broken into bullet lists.
- Requirements: maybe "What We Are Looking For" includes education, experience, etc. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Qualifications (maybe technical expertise) and Skills (soft skills). But we can keep simple: Requirements (education + experience), Qualifications (technical expertise), Skills (leadership, analytical, fluency, proactive mindset, etc.). However we need to ensure we don't create thin sections. Might be okay to have three sections.
But we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
Location: Bornem (Belgium) or Colmar (France) or Greenwood (US) or Rewari/ Gurugram (India) or Puebla (Mexico). Could be placed in About the role paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: list each bullet under subheadings? The instructions: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a
for responsibilities, each - containing the duty description. Could also group by subheadings but not required. Simpler: one
with each duty as - . However there are many duties; we can keep them as separate
- .
Responsibilities content:
- Provide enterprise design authority for SAP Master Data structures, standards, governance processes, and data architecture decisions to ensure alignment with business strategy, reporting requirements, and operational excellence.
- Develop and maintain analytics, dashboards, KPIs, and performance reporting to provide transparency on data quality, governance compliance, operational effectiveness and business risk.
- Monitor and execute on the change request process regarding global master data objects

- Lead the Master Data organization and associated external service providers.

That's many items; we can keep them.

Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
We'll wrap sections in
headings.
We must not include any extra text outside HTML.
Let's craft.
Check for any boilerplate: "About Lonza" paragraph we might omit or include as part of About the role. Could include a brief sentence about Lonza but it's generic; maybe we can include as part of About the role but it's not required. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including About Lonza may be thin. Better to omit.
Thus About the role includes location and role description paragraph.
Now produce HTML.
We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed.
