At Fresenius Kabi, we are committed to life — and to transforming our global data landscape to enable better decisions, smoother operations, and more compliant processes. To drive our global transformation forward, we are seeking a Senior Manager, Data Harmonization & Data Cleansing who will lead our efforts to align, clean, and govern master data across multiple systems, countries, and business units.
In this role, you will actively shape our enterprise-wide approach to SAP master data, data quality, and regulatory compliance. You will collaborate closely with IT, business, and compliance stakeholders to ensure clean, consistent, and fit-for-purpose data — creating the foundation for successful ERP rollouts and long-term digital success.
Your Responsibilities

Define and implement data governance frameworks that safeguard data integrity, consistency, and accuracy across the global organization.

Establish standards for master data management (MDM) and oversee their execution across business units.
Harmonization & Cleansing
Lead global data harmonization and cleansing initiatives, ensuring alignment across business units, regions, and systems.
Identify data inconsistencies, root causes, and mitigation strategies — and drive timely remediation.
Monitor and improve data quality KPIs, launching continuous improvement initiatives where needed.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define common data structures, taxonomies, and business rules.
Program & Compliance Support
Ensure that data processes and migrations meet all GxP, SOx, Privacy, and industry-specific compliance requirements.
Support data migration and transformation efforts for large-scale ERP rollouts — including projects with 80+ implementations in parallel.
Contribute to global rollout programs by providing expertise on data quality, compliance, and harmonization.
Report regularly to senior leadership on data quality improvements, project progress, and risk mitigation measures.
Stakeholder & Change Enablement
Build strong partnerships with IT, compliance, data owners, and business leads to align priorities and resolve cross-functional data issues.
Manage relationships with external vendors and partners supporting data cleansing or migration services.
Provide training, guidance, and coaching to teams across functions to promote data ownership and long-term quality.
