• Collaborate with integration/platform teams on:
  • Batch and/or API-based connectivity
  • Change data capture or event-driven patterns (where applicable)
• Assist downstream teams by providing master data extracts, published views, and data lineage context.

Operations & Continuous Improvement

• Monitor MDM jobs, workflow queues, data quality metrics, and matching performance.
• Troubleshoot data issues and root-cause mismatches, duplicates, and survivorship outcomes.
• Participate in release planning, regression testing, and production support.
