The role works hands‑on with AI‑assisted mastering and mapping in our internally developed MDM platform, Matrix. The role requires strong ownership, sound judgement, and an attitude focused on getting it right — not just getting it approved.

A structured, proactive, and assertive (“pushy when needed”) approach is essential to ensure mappings are completed, standards are met, and nothing critical stalls.
