Master Data Specialist Job at Unilever (Istanbul)

Job Description

This role exists to protect and elevate the quality, consistency and governance of material and product master data that powers our supply chain in Turkey. You will be a key point of contact for master data standards, procedures, business processes and data flows – keeping our data reliable, our operations agile and our decision-making fast. You will also shape the roadmap for new data structures in alignment with both local and global units, and ensure cross-functional requirements are translated into a sustainable master data management cycle. You’ll be part of a team that believes in doing work that matters — for people and the planet. You will sit within Turkey’s Master Data & Governance team, part of the wider PTAB cluster – the group of markets covering Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh that collaborate closely on shared data standards, governance and transformation. While your day-to-day focus is Turkey, you will have genuine opportunities to grow into regional and global master data initiatives, and we are looking for someone who is keen to take them. Because here, we don’t just hire for jobs. We invite you to be part of something bigger.
