About the role
Description supplied by the original job listing.
An international retailer operating across 20 countries is seeking a Data Readiness Lead to support a major SAP S/4HANA transformation programme. Reporting to the Head of Data, this role will focus on establishing the data foundations required for a successful ERP implementation, including master data management, data quality, governance, controls, and business readiness.
Working closely with business stakeholders, IT, and externa consultancy partner, you will define data standards, gather and challenge business requirements, help with data controls, and ensure data is fit for migration into SAP S/4HANA. The organisation currently lacks formal data definitions, governance frameworks, and data ownership structures, creating an opportunity for someone who can bring clarity, accountability, and structure to the programme.
You will be driving data readiness, validating requirements, monitoring progress, and addressing data quality issues before migration. Strong stakeholder management skills will be essential, as will the confidence to challenge existing practices and drive decision-making.
This role would suit a hands-on data professional with experience in SAP-enabled transformations who combines data governance expertise with strong programme delivery and stakeholder management skills.
Key Requirements
Experience leading data readiness, master data, or data governance initiatives within ERP transformation programmes
Strong understanding of data quality, data controls, data ownership, and governance frameworks
Experience defining data standards, business rules, and data validation processes
Ability to engage with business stakeholders to capture and challenge requirements
Knowledge of SAP S/4HANA programmes and associated data requirements
Strong project management, planning, and tracking skills
Confident, resilient, and able to drive accountability across multiple teams
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
