MDG SAP Business Analyst

We are seeking a highly analytical and business-facing SAP MDG professional to support and evolve a recently implemented Master Data Governance (MDG) environment. This individual will play a critical role in bridging the gap between business stakeholders and technical execution, ensuring that MDG solutions are thoughtfully designed, scalable, and aligned with enterprise needs.

This is not a ticket-driven role - the ideal candidate will operate as a strategic partner to the business, bringing strong critical thinking, curiosity, and solution-oriented mindset to an evolving MDG landscape.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate business requirements into scalable and effective solutions within the SAP MDG platform


• Engage directly with stakeholders across multiple functions (Customer, Finance, and SAP Master Data domains) to gather, refine, and validate requirements


• Ask thoughtful, probing questions to fully understand business needs before solutioning


• Act as a true business partner - assessing feasibility, challenging assumptions, and recommending optimal approaches


• Provide thought leadership on how to best leverage MDG capabilities, especially in areas that are newly implemented or not yet fully explored


• Collaborate with offshore support teams to guide execution and ensure alignment with business intent


• Help navigate and define processes within uncharted or evolving areas of the MDG tool

Team & Environment

• Existing offshore MDG support team focused primarily on ticket execution


• This role will serve as the key liaison between the U.S. business and offshore resources


• High visibility with business stakeholders and opportunity to shape how MDG is utilized moving forward

Required Qualifications

• Strong experience with SAP Master Data Governance (MDG)


• Solid understanding of SAP Master Data concepts (Customer, Vendor, Finance, etc.)


• Proven ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions


• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive mindset


• Excellent communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with business stakeholders


• IT background with experience working in cross-functional environments

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Not a traditional "order-taker" - someone who challenges, advises, and improves solutions


• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and exploring new or undefined areas


• Brings a consultative approach and thought leadership to MDG usage and optimization


• Strong balance of business acumen and technical understanding

Key Details

• Location: Chicago


• Work Model: Contract, Hybrid 3 days per week


• Compensation: $50- $60 per hour


• Benefits: LaSalle Network consultants are eligible to enroll in benefits -
