We believe that our strength is not just in our steel but the diversity of our workforce. Our people make the difference.

Are you the kind of person who spots patterns others miss? 

Do you enjoy understanding how data underpins everything from production planning to customer onboarding? 

If you’re someone who takes pride in accuracy, loves problem‑solving and wants to work where your expertise genuinely keeps the wheels turning, this could be the perfect role for you.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Analyst (Master Data) to help us protect the integrity of our SAP and Informatica systems – ensuring our supply chain, commercial functions and operational processes run smoothly every single day. You’ll act as a subject matter expert, supporting teams across the business and making sure that data is structured, reliable, and ready to support critical workflows.

What you will do

Master data is the backbone of our operations. When it’s wrong, everything feels it, be it in production, logistics, finance, customer service, or reporting. When it’s right, everything flows. This is a role where your expertise directly prevents disruption and keeps our systems and teams performing at their best. 

As a Senior Master Data Analyst, you’ll work across SAP, Informatica and local planning datasets to maintain and enhance the master data that keeps our operations moving. You’ll troubleshoot issues, support change projects, and ensure that the information feeding our production, logistics, pricing and ordering systems is always accurate and compliant with business rules.

On a typical day, you might:

• Investigate and resolve master data quality issues, digging into root causes and preventing repeat problems
• Partner with supply chain, commercial, logistics and planning teams to understand their master data needs
• Manage workflow updates in Informatica, ensuring smooth downstream integration
• Support customer master data creation, material creation and master data governance
• Provide guidance to offshore colleagues and review their outputs
• Help prepare and test changes for system upgrades and improvements from a master data perspective

What you will need

You’ll be someone with a real attention to detail, comfortable navigating complex systems and translating business needs into master data requirements. You’ll have strong communication skills, enjoy collaborating with both technical and non‑technical colleagues, and be confident advising others on data structures.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Experience working with SAP master data (materials, customers, routes, output conditions)
• Familiarity with Informatica workflows and data rules
• Strong analytical ability and a structured approach to problem‑solving
• A good understanding of supply chain 
• Advanced Excel or similar data‑handling skills

You don’t need to manage people in this role, but you will guide and review work from offshore administrators so clarity, accuracy and strong communication matter.
