Role overview
Position Overview
We are looking for a Configurable Materials Master Data Domain Lead whose core craft is Variant Configuration.
SAP VC, including characteristics, classes, configuration profiles, dependencies, constraints, and super-BoMs, is the structural spine of how we define, price, manufacture, and service our products worldwide.
- Position Overview
- We are looking for a Configurable Materials Master Data Domain Lead whose core craft is Variant Configuration.
Application process
- modern data architecture principles to create a scalable and interoperable materials data ecosystem.
- Build and sustain an active external stakeholder network to benchmark practices and introduce emerging industry standards. Transformation, Systems & Change
- Act as Business Owner for SAP MDG-M and the SAP Variant Configuration landscape (LO-VC / AVC), shaping their evolution to meet current and future business requirements.
- Lead the materials master-data workstream within RECITE, dormakaba's global S/4HANA transformation, driving template design, localization requirements, testing, and master-data harmonization.
- Serve as the direct data-domain counterpart to the onePLM program, ensuring PLM-to-ERP mapping, BoM synchronization, and digital-thread alignment.
- AI and intelligent automation to improve profiling, stewardship, anomaly detection, and rule management within the materials domain.
- Lead the materials master-data community across dormakaba through structured communication, training, engagement, and change-management initiatives. Operating Model & Team Leadership
- Define and implement a fit-for-purpose operating model for the materials data domain, optimizing the interplay of onshore, near-shore, and offshore resources.
Company and context
- You are a deep craftsperson in Variant Configuration and materials master data who can navigate complex global matrix organizations, build consensus among senior stakeholders, and translate intricate VC and BoM concepts into business value.
- You challenge the status quo constructively and energize others to follow.
- AI is a powerful multiplier in your hands; the VC model and the material master are the core you will never delegate to a tool.
- 8–10 years of hands-on materials master-data and Variant Configuration leadership in multinational corporations, with a proven track record in configurable-products industries (industrial technology, engineered products, or similar).
- Deep expertise in SAP LO-VC and a clear point of view on the evolution path toward AVC, including the data-model, process, and governance implications.
- Demonstrable mastery of VC modeling objects: characteristics, classes, configuration profiles, object dependencies, constraints, variant tables, and their interplay in super-BoM and variant-BoM structures.
- University degree in Data Management, Information Technology, Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance, or a related discipline.
- Explicit experience owning BoM data strategy and mastership across PLM, ERP, and MES boundaries — engineering-BoM, manufacturing-BoM, and the change-propagation standards that keep them synchronized.
- Strong understanding of data modelling, data architecture, and integration patterns.
- Familiarity with modern data-management disciplines: data governance, data quality, data lineage, metadata management, data cataloguing, data observability, and data-mesh / data-fabric concepts.
