Data Management Manager

As Data Management Manager at Solstice, you will lead the company’s data management practice, including governance, quality, mastering, cataloging, and controlled distribution of enterprise data. You will own data policies, standards, stewardship models, and daily operations that keep core business data accurate, consistent, and trusted across systems.

Your success will materialize as data the business trusts and uses — measured through master data quality scores, reduction in duplicate or conflicting records, faster onboarding of new customers/vendors/materials, and fewer downstream incidents caused by bad master data.

You will report to our Director of IT, AI, Analytics & Automation who oversees our enterprise Data & AI strategy, Delivery and Platform Operations.

At Solstice, our people play a critical role in driving change across the company. You will help raise the data capability of the broader organization — coaching stewards and business users, fostering an inclusive and collaborative working style across functions, and building a culture where good data is treated as everyone's responsibility.

Data Quality, Governance & Compliance

Master Data Management

• Own the MDM operating model across core domains - customer, vendor, material/product, etc. in partnership with domain owners.

• Define master data standards, rules, hierarchies, golden records, and match/merge strategies. Own MDM workflows across Reltio and SAP with SLAs and audit trails.

• Lead remediation of legacy master data debt and master data readiness for migrations, M&A etc.

Data Stewardship, Business Glossary & Reference Data

• Stand up and run the stewardship community comprising data owners, domain stewards, operational stewards — with clear RACI, decision rights, and governance forums that resolve definitions, ownership, and rule changes.

• Clear communicator able to lead steward forums, run executive scorecard reviews, and translate master data discipline into business outcomes.

• Results-driven mindset with clear objectives tied to measurable outcomes — duplicate rate reduction, master data quality score improvement, time-to-onboard reductions, and fewer downstream incidents traceable to master data.

• Familiarity with reference data management and business glossary tooling (e.g., Atlan, Collibra DQ etc.).

• Understanding of data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and how they apply to mastered customer and employee data.
