Position Summary:
The Senior SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) Consultant is responsible for the design, configuration, and support of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) solutions within an SAP S/4HANA environment, establishing systemic governance over financial, material, and business partner master data — and over custom-modeled domains such as asset objects delivered through the MDG flex option — so that a single validated record serves the entire enterprise, in support of a large-scale, greenfield SAP S/4HANA financial management modernization program for a Department of War (DoW) organization. As the senior MDG authority on the program, the consultant owns the governance solution design across governed domains, including the data model, process model, rule framework, and replication architecture, and represents the discipline in formal design reviews. This position operates at the Senior level of the C5MI job architecture and contributes to delivery across a five-gate milestone structure spanning pre-design approval, preliminary design review, critical design review, production readiness review, and closeout.
