• Identify data issues, log defects, and partner with technical teams to drive resolution.

• Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and guide business users through test execution and validation.

• Maintain comprehensive documentation including test scripts, mapping logic, scenarios, and defect tracking.

• Provide senior-level functional insight and contribute to MDM process optimization and best practices.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify root causes of data issues.

• Experience working with large datasets, complex data models, and multi-system integrations.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across business and technical teams.
