Compensation: Up to $225,000.00 per year, W2, based on qualifications + up to 25% bonus Position Overview: This leadership role will set the enterprise data strategy, ensuring the business operates from trusted, consistent, and well-governed core data. The position establishes enterprise-wide data standards and defines how data is owned, governed, and used to support reliable operations and scalable growth. A key focus is Master Data Management (MDM), with an emphasis on building a multi-year roadmap for critical business data domains. Please note: This role is currently based at our client's Minneapolis office and will transition to their new headquarters in Dayton, MN, in 2027.
Key Responsibilities: - Lead the enterprise data strategy with a foundation-first mindset-prioritizing clean, reliable core data over stand-alone analytics solutions
- Define how critical enterprise data (e.g., customer, product, pricing, installed base, supplier) is created, standardized, governed and reused across the company
- Establish clear enterprise data standards, definitions and systems of record so teams operate from consistent and trusted data
- Prioritize and drive resolution of high-impact data quality issues that affect operations, revenue and customer experience (e.g., pricing discrepancies, order-to-cash errors, duplicate customers)
- Establish the MDM vision and multi-year roadmap, defining which data domains are managed, the systems that own them, the fidelity standards applied, and the business stakeholders accountable for their governance
- Define the MDM operating model and architecture with deliberate, documented decisions aligned to the enterprise applications and data platforms
- Lead MDM delivery as an enterprise program: engage stakeholders in data stewardship, match/merge rules, hierarchy design, and exception management; with an initial focus on Product and Customer MDM delivery
- Measure MDM program health with visible, business-relevant KPIs such as: Golden record completeness rate attribute fill rate by domain, duplicate rate, re-dirty rate, match confidence, stewardship SLA compliance, and downstream system adoption
- Establish a data governance model that embeds accountability in the business and prevents re-dirtying of enterprise data
- Ensure clear business ownership for data quality and definitions, with stewardship embedded in functions - even within an IT-owned data operating model
- Define decision rights for data standards and exceptions, with governance that is lightweight, practical, and aligned to business cadence
- Embed data quality controls directly into core business workflows (CRM, ERP, etc.), emphasizing front-end prevention over downstream cleanup
- Ensure data platforms and architecture support trusted foundations, reducing duplication, manual reconciliation and conflicting reports
- Enable analytics, reporting and AI only where underlying data is fit for purpose, scalable and aligned to business priorities
- Partner with business leaders to apply clean data to a small set of high value use cases, translating data improvements into commercial, operational and digital impact
- Ensure analytics and AI practices comply with privacy, security, regulatory, and risk management requirements in partnership with IT, Legal and Cybersecurity
- Lead, mentor, manage and staff a team of leaders, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and promoting a culture of leadership excellence
- Develop and implement strategies for talent acquisition and management, succession planning, and leadership development to build a pipeline of future leaders
- Drive team performance by setting clear goals, providing ongoing feedback, and facilitating professional growth opportunities
- Establish, manage, and be accountable for the annual Data, Analytics and MDM strategy budget, ensuring effective allocation of resources and alignment with organizational strategic objectives

- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain data concepts clearly and practically
- Experience building, leading, and developing teams, including setting goals and managing budgets
