You will take end-to-end ownership of defined data domains, projects, and continuous improvement initiatives—from analysis and solution design through testing and implementation to rollout, stabilization, and successful transition into operations.

• Enhance data catalogs, business glossaries, metadata management, and governance documentation
• Contribute to global SAP, analytics, and digital transformation initiatives while ensuring scalable, architecture-aligned data solutions
