Job Summary

The Senior Analyst, Master Data is the owner of how this company's operations are represented in its systems — the steward who sets and enforces the guardrails where Engineering, Operations, Finance, Accounting, and Quality meet. Critically, this is a stewardship role built on prevention: the owner designs and maintains the controls that keep bad data out of systems in the first place — validation rules, required fields, approval workflows, and process guardrails that catch problems at the point of entry rather than after they have polluted reporting and transactions downstream. The best outcome of this role is the error that never happens.

$85-106K/year

Key Responsibilities

-Master Data Stewardship & Lifecycle Management

• Own the create, change, and deactivate lifecycle for master data across Epicor and connected business systems — including item/part, BOM and routing, customer, supplier, pricing, and GL/chart-of-accounts records — across all plants sites.

• Maintain the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of master data, including site-specific attributes (costing, pricing, sourcing), so that downstream transactions, costing, and reporting can be trusted.

-Data Quality Gatekeeping & Preventive Controls

• Act as the gatekeeper for data entering — design, configure, and maintain the validation rules, required-field enforcement, naming and formatting standards, and approval workflows that stop bad data at the point of entry.
• Build and maintain system-level controls (e.g., Epicor BPMs/data directives, Dayforce form and assignment rules) that prevent incomplete or non-conforming records from being saved.
• Treat recurring data issues as process defects — investigate root cause and engineer the control that closes the gap, rather than repeatedly cleaning up the same errors after the fact.

-Business Process to Systems Translation

• Partner with Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, and HR to understand how work actually gets done, then translate those processes into the master data structures and system configuration that represent them accurately.
• Serve as the interpreter between business users who own the process and technical/vendor teams who configure the system — converting operational requirements into actionable system design, and system constraints into plain business language.

-Epicor & Business Systems Configuration & Support

• Configure and support Epicor and connected business systems in the master data and process domains — part/BOM setup, costing methods, pricing, customer/supplier configuration, and the workflows and rules that govern them.
• Troubleshoot data and configuration issues raised by business users; analyze root cause across both process and system, and implement durable fixes rather than one-off corrections.

-ERP Migration & Data Conversion

• Serve as a key contributor to the Epicor T10 to Kinetic migration — leading master data cleanup, mapping, deduplication, conversion-template preparation, load validation, and reconciliation between legacy and target environments.

• Configure the data standards and preventive controls in the new environment so that data quality is built in at go-live rather than remediated afterward.

-Dayforce & HRIS Master Data

• Maintain HRIS master data structures in Dayforce — job and position records, organizational and cost-center alignment, and GL coding rules — ensuring they reflect multisite org and feed finance and reporting accurately.

• Partner with HR and Finance to enforce data standards and overrides (e.g., corporate costcenter employees located at plant sites) so that headcount, labor, and cost data are correct at the source.

-Integrations, Reporting & Cross-System Consistency

• Safeguard master data consistency across integrated systems — EDI (TrueCommerce), FP&A and BI tools (DataRails, Power BI), and Dayforce-to-Epicor flows — so the source stays clean and everything downstream stays trustworthy.

• Validate that data feeding KPI, financial, and operational reporting is mapped correctly and reconciles to the system of record; investigate and resolve discrepancies.

• Support integration design and field mapping with technical teams and vendors, ensuring master data definitions remain aligned end to end.

-Standards, Governance & Documentation

• Establish, document, and continuously improve master data standards, naming conventions, governance policies, ownership matrices, and change-control procedures across all data domains.

• Maintain clear, current documentation of data structures, configurations, controls, and processes so that knowledge is not locked in one person’s head.

• Define and report data quality metrics (completeness, accuracy, duplication, staleness) and drive remediation and prevention against them.

-Training, Adoption & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Train and support end users and data approvers on master data standards, system processes, and the controls that protect data quality — and on why those controls exist.

• Partner across Finance, IT, Operations, and HR to drive adoption of governance standards and embed sustainable, well-documented data practices.

• Act as a subject-matter resource on master data and business-process questions, supporting month-end close, costing, and reporting by ensuring the underlying data holds up.
