We’re hiring a Senior Data Steward/Analyst to take ownership of the quality, governance, and reliability of commercial master data across a global enterprise. This role exists because data quality is recognised at an executive level as critical to commercial performance, regulatory confidence, and future scalability. It is an ongoing data governance role, not a one‑off cleanup or remediation project.
While the initial focus will be on US-based Veeva CRM data, the remit is global by design and will expand as the wider enterprise data ecosystem matures across CRM, ERP, and analytics platforms.
The Role
As Senior Data Steward, you will act as the global owner of commercial master data, working across regions, systems, and functions to ensure data is accurate, consistent, governed, and trusted. You will use Master Data Management (MDM) tooling (e.g. Syncari or equivalent) to control data flows, enforce standards, and prevent poor-quality data from propagating across the organisation. This role sits at the intersection of business, technology, analytics, and compliance.
Key Responsibilities
Global Data Stewardship & Governance
Act as the global Data Steward for commercial master data, including Accounts, HCPs, HCOs, and hierarchies
Own and enforce data quality standards across regions to ensure consistency, accuracy, and reliability
Align governance practices with regional regulatory, privacy, and commercial requirements
Define, document, and maintain data governance processes, standards, and SOPs
Veeva CRM Data Ownership (Must Have)
Serve as the primary Data Steward for Veeva CRM
Own customer mapping, hierarchy management, and overall data accuracy
Govern the full lifecycle of Veeva CRM data in line with internal standards and compliance expectations
Support both US and European Veeva configurations, ensuring visibility into regional differences while maintaining shared global standards
Identify and resolve data quality issues including duplicates, incorrect mappings, missing attributes, and legacy account structures
Partner closely with commercial and operational stakeholders to ensure Veeva data reliably supports sales execution, reporting, and analytics
Master Data Management & Integration Oversight
Use MDM tools (e.g. Syncari or similar) to govern data synchronisation between Veeva CRM and downstream systems
Define and enforce source-of-truth and data authority rules
Prevent low-quality data from propagating across the enterprise
Perform root-cause analysis when data issues surface in reporting, analytics, or operational workflows
Data Quality Monitoring & Analytics Enablement
Conduct data profiling, audits, and reconciliation to ensure reporting and analytics data is trusted
Define and track data quality metrics, demonstrating continuous improvement over time
Collaborate with BI, Analytics, IT, and Sales Operations teams to resolve discrepancies and improve upstream data processes
About You
You will bring a strong blend of data governance expertise, CRM mastery, and stakeholder influence, with the confidence to own global standards and the practical skills to resolve complex data problems.
