Master Data Manager

EMEA Recruitment is proud to partner with a globally iconic manufacturing brand in its search for a Master Data Manager to bridge the gap between heavy daily operations and long-term business transformation.

This dynamic, rapidly expanding, and unique business offers a master data professional the opportunity to take immediate operational ownership, while holding a clear mandate to evolve the role into process improvement and strategic transformation.

This role will suit an organized, process-driven, and resilient candidate with strong stakeholder management skills and an operational mindset.

The main duties of the Master Data Manager:

• Take complete ownership of the creation, maintenance, and quality of master data (Items, AP/AR, Vendors/Customers, and Price Groups for global distributors and retailers)

• Ensure absolute alignment between physical production flows (factory level) and financial/accounting flows within the ERP

• Act as the primary operational troubleshooter, managing daily system queries, data controls, and audit compliance

• Collaborate closely with global supply chain and finance teams to optimize month-end efficiency and build robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

• Support future global system implementations with occasional travel to the US and Asia

The skills, experience, and qualifications required for the Master Data Manager:

• Proven, hands-on master data management experience within a production or manufacturing environment (managing complex Bills of Materials, item cards, and routings is essential)

• Extensive, practical experience working inside Microsoft Dynamics Business Central (or Dynamics NAV/Navision) is an absolute must

• Ability to thrive in a high-volume operational environment, comfortably troubleshooting daily system data issues while maintaining strict attention to detail

• Fluent English and Dutch (native or fluent standard is required due to legacy documentation and key local stakeholder relationships)

• A forward-thinking mindset with the desire and capability to scale the role into a transformation and process-improvement leadership position
