• Manage data quality issue resolution, including triage, prioritization, and tracking to closure.
• Champion a culture of data ownership and accountability, working with data stewards and domain owners across the supply chain organization.
• Support strategic initiatives and ensure alignment between operational systems and analytics platforms.

• Proficiency with SQL and experience working with large, complex datasets.
• Track record of driving efficiency and process improvement in a data-intensive environment.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred:

• Experience in pharmaceutical, healthcare, medical device, or other regulated industries.
• Familiarity with SAP, ERP systems, and cloud data platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, Snowflake, Databricks).
