[Hiring] Lead, Master Data @TerrAscend

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced professional to join our Master Data team as a Lead. This role is designed to bridge the gap between day-to-day master data execution and broader project management needs. As our company grows, so does the demand for reliable, consistent, and accurate data across our systems. We’re looking for someone with an analytical mindset to help us develop stronger controls, remediate issues, and lead projects with multiple stakeholders.

Master Data partners with every department in the company: Retail Operations, Retail Purchasing, Procurement, Supply Chain, Demand Planning, Manufacturing Operations, IT, Accounting, and Finance. This creates a high volume of competing priorities. The Lead Associate will work closely with the Director, Supply Chain Process, Systems, and Data to help manage that complexity by breaking large projects into clear, executable steps, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Responsibilities

• Own ongoing data entry in specified systems as demanded by the business.
• Enforce our data governance guidelines and suggest new processes and controls to improve our consistency.
• Develop an in-depth understanding of our systems and operate as an SME. This person will represent Master Data cross-functionally and will assist with onboarding and training new team members.
• Break down complex, multi-step projects into clear tasks that other associates can easily execute.
• Track project progress and communicate status updates to the Director and relevant stakeholders.
• Scope new projects as they come in, identifying what Master Data owns, what Master Data contributes to, and what tasks are owned by other teams.
• Support the creation of new processes that impact Master Data, even when Master Data is not the ultimate owner of that process.
• Represent the Director and the Master Data team in meetings when appropriate.
• Own the team’s short-term and long-term project tracking. This includes building tools that allow the team to measure progress as work is completed.
• Partner with Retail, Operations, Accounting, Finance, and IT to maintain master data including creation, modification, cleansing, and enrichment.
• Own quarterly audits of data integrity and accuracy.
• Support data integration initiatives in partnership with the M&A team.
• Partner with internal and external audit teams to document procedures, respond to follow-up questions, and assist with ongoing SOX documentation.

Beyond the Technical Skills

• Knows the difference between signal and noise.
• Communicates with clarity and calm.
• Bias for Action.
• Stays grounded when things get busy.
• Takes ownership.
• Earns trust across departments.

Qualifications
