The Material Master Specialist owns the creation, extension, maintenance, and governance of SAP material master data for the Texas manufacturing plant. Positioned within Operations, this role ensures that material data is accurate, complete, and available on time so that planning, procurement, production, inventory, costing, and shipping processes run without disruption.

The role is the operational steward of the material master. Engineering provides design and product-release data; this role turns that data into plant-ready material records, coordinates the department views owned by each function, and protects data quality through standards, controls, and continuous improvement.

• Create, extend, change, block, and deactivate SAP material master records for the Texas plant in accordance with approved standards and service levels.

• Review material requests for completeness and accuracy before processing; return or escalate requests that do not meet requirements.

• Coordinate plant-level views (MRP, Purchasing, Work Scheduling, Storage, Quality, Accounting/Costing, Sales) with the responsible functions so records are complete before use.

• Maintain material types, units of measure, material groups, plant parameters, and other attributes that drive downstream transactions.

• Receive released materials and engineering changes (ECNs and/or MCNs) from Engineering and convert them into plant-ready material records.

• Support new product introductions and engineering changes by confirming material data readiness before planning, purchasing, and production need it.

• Partner with Engineering on Manufacturing BOM-related material issues, effectivity, and revision alignment; Engineering remains the owner of design data and engineering BOMs.
  

• Apply and maintain data standards, naming conventions, approval workflows, and audit-ready change documentation.

• Perform routine data-quality reviews to identify incomplete, inconsistent, duplicate, or obsolete records and drive cleanup.

• Track master-data performance measures such as request cycle time, first-pass accuracy, aging requests, and defect trends.

• Investigate master-data errors that cause transaction failures, MRP exceptions, purchasing delays, or costing issues; drive root cause and corrective action.

• Support Texas plant launch activities, including data migration, testing, cutover, and post-go-live stabilization within the scope of material master.

• Identify opportunities to standardize, simplify, and automate material master processes, including governed mass updates, while maintaining controls.

• Develop and maintain SOPs and training materials; serve as the plant subject-matter resource for material master requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree

• 4+ years of experience in material master, master data, ERP, supply chain, or manufacturing operations.

• 2+ years of hands-on experience with SAP ECC ERP and material master maintenance.

• 2+ years of experience working across Operations, Engineering, Product Management, Supply Chain, Finance, and IT and drive issues to closure.
