Job Summary
- This role is responsible for end‑to‑end solution architecture, technical leadership, and delivery governance for on‑premise Master Data Management (MDM), Data Quality (DQ), and Data Governance enablement. The MDM Architect / Senior MDM Consultant will define target architecture and integration patterns, lead design and implementation across Siebel UCM, OEDQ and ODI, and drive governance and quality outcomes through Informatica Axon/EDC/IDQ.

Key Responsibilities

- Architect profiling, auditing, standardization/cleansing, and matching components; define DQ KPIs, thresholds, monitoring dashboards, and issue workflows/case management as required.
- **Integration architecture (ODI):**
- Define ingestion and publishing patterns (batch schedules, dependencies, reconciliation), transformation standards, and operational monitoring approach; guide teams on scalable ELT design using ODI repositories/agents and deployment practices.
- **Metadata, governance & catalog (Axon/EDC):**
- Establish operating model for glossary stewardship, dataset onboarding, domain discovery/curation, and lineage validation; ensure glossary–catalog alignment and adoption by business stakeholders.
- **DQ implementation (IDQ):**
- Define standards and review design for IDQ rules and deployments; ensure test coverage, promotion across environments, and traceability to business rules and DQ KPIs.
- **Delivery leadership / PM skills:**
- Own workplans, estimates, resourcing and RAID; manage scope and change control; run stakeholder governance (status, risks, decisions); coordinate release readiness and cutover activities; ensure on‑time delivery across multiple workstreams.
- **Quality assurance & reviews:**
- Lead design reviews, code/config reviews, test strategy, and production readiness; drive performance tuning and stabilization (including root cause analysis for recurring data issues).
- **Client-facing consulting:**
- Translate business needs into implementable designs, present architecture options with trade-offs, mentor developers/analysts, and establish reusable assets and best practices.
