About the role

We are seeking an experienced Master Data Specialist to join our supportive and collaborative Master Data team in this newly created position. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the centralisation of Material Master Data in SAP S/4HANA and ensure accuracy, consistency, and data integrity across the business. You'll also play an important role in small improvement initiatives to streamline and enhance processes following our recent system implementation.

Based at our Smithfield manufacturing facility and reporting to the Master Data Manager, you'll partner closely with Data Stewards, IT, and a wide range of cross‑functional teams — including marketing, customer service, production, sales, logistics, operations, despatch and external vendors. This role is hands‑on and well‑suited to someone who thrives in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment, builds strong relationships, and brings a proactive, customer‑focused approach to their work.

Your typical day

• Create and maintain Material Master Data across all material views including sales, planning, production, accounting, costing and warehousing

• Work with Production teams to gather data and create BOMs, routings and production versions for in‑house manufactured materials

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams — sales, purchasing, marketing, procurement, logistics, EWM and finance — to gather requirements, resolve data issues and ensure alignment with business needs

• Manage daily SNOW tickets relating to material master creation, changes and issue resolution

• Support material master data cleansing activities

• Identify and resolve data inconsistencies and support integration across systems and platforms

• Ensure appropriate data controls and security measures are in place

• Assist the Master Data Manager in developing Work Instructions and Business Process Documentation for material master processes
   

About you

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, or a related field; SAP certification is advantageous.

• 3–5 years' experience working with Master Data in SAP within Manufacturing or FMCG (Plastics, Building Products, Hardware, or FMCG highly regarded).

• Strong computer literacy, with advanced skills in Microsoft Office and high proficiency across SAP or large ERP systems; experience with continuous improvement, data cleansing and maintenance (SAP S/4HANA or SAP MDG preferred).

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with internal stakeholders, vendors, and customers.

• Keen to grow your career through involvement in projects, data governance, data quality and data integration initiatives.

• A collaborative team player who is positive, resilient, and proactive, with the ability to work autonomously when needed.

• Strong time-management and coordination skills, a sense of urgency, high attention to detail, and an analytical mindset.

Why join us? We Care

• Hybrid role: WFH 2 days per week, with flexible working hours available.

• STI bonus program and competitive salary.

• Work for a business that is conscious of its environmental and community impact.

• Industry-leading paid parental leave: 26 weeks for primary carers, 4 weeks for secondary carers.
