Master Data Specialist

Job Summary RH Aero is seeking a hands‑on Master Data Specialist to support enterprise master data management, financial analysis, global data compliance, and analytics transformation efforts tied to a major business integration and future ERP implementation. This role will be central to improving the quality, consistency, and governance of master data across two legacy operating companies, including vendor, supplier, customer, product, financial, organizational, and reference data. The Master Data Specialist will help standardize data definitions, validate records, resolve data quality issues, support data cleanup and migration activities, and ensure master data is accurate, complete, and usable across finance, procurement, supply chain, operations, and reporting processes. The role will also create and support BI analysis, financial reporting, KPI development, and business recommendations by turning trusted master data into actionable insights.

Evaluate the current integration landscape, including manual feeds, direct SQL access, and middleware processes, and help transition the organization to more controlled and scalable patterns. Investigate and resolve vendor and supplier master data issues that affect procurement, purchase orders, invoice processing, payments, reporting, spend analysis, supplier performance, and financial controls. Monitor vendor and supplier data quality metrics and recommend corrective actions to improve accuracy, compliance, and process efficiency. Support vendor and supplier data cleanup, rationalization, standardization, and migration activities during ERP implementations, system upgrades, mergers, acquisitions, or process improvement initiatives. Perform data quality checks to normalize records, missing fields, inconsistent naming conventions, incorrect payment information, inactive suppliers, and invalid mappings. Partner with procurement, accounts payable, finance, supply chain, compliance, and IT teams to ensure vendor and supplier data is accurate, complete, controlled, and aligned to business requirements. Qualifications Experience with master data management, data analysis, finance, procurement, business operations, and reporting functions.

Understanding of financial reporting concepts such as GL accounts, cost centers, profit centers, budgets, forecasts, actuals, accruals, payables, and variances.

Experience supporting vendor master data, supplier master data, procurement master data, accounts payable data, or supplier lifecycle management. Familiarity with supplier onboarding, vendor validation, tax documentation, payment controls, banking controls, procurement policies, and audit requirements. Knowledge of procurement and finance processes, including procure-to-pay, purchase orders, invoices, vendor payments, supplier performance, and spend reporting. Experience with MDM tools, data catalog tools, workflow tools, supplier management tools, or data quality platforms. Knowledge of SQL for querying and validating vendor, supplier, finance, and procurement data. Experience supporting finance transformation, procurement transformation, ERP implementation, supplier data migration, or process improvement projects.
