Job Description

The Data Manager will be responsible for the governance, quality, and integrity of all enterprise data across the organization, with a primary focus on the manufacturing-to-sales lifecycle. This role will be crucial in moving the company from time-to-time manual data collection to a standardized, verified, and centralized data environment.

1. Data Collection & Standardization (Timeliness Focus)

· Establish and enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for data input across all departments (Design, Procurement, Production/WIP, Inventory, Sales, and Finance).

· Define a company-wide Data Dictionary to standardize how critical metrics (e.g., Yield Rate, Units Produced, Gross Margin, SKU) are measured and recorded.

· Implement data collection schedules and automated processes (ETL) to ensure data is fed into the central repository in a timely manner.

2. Data Quality & Verification (Verification Focus)

· Lead the effort to develop and maintain the overall Data Quality Framework.

· Design and execute routine Data Audits and reconciliation procedures, specifically reconciling data between: Production vs. Inventory: Ensuring units completed match units received into the finished goods warehouse.

· Inventory vs. Sales: Validating stock depletion matches sales recorded at the POS or e-commerce platform.

· Proactively identify and resolve data integrity issues, such as duplicate records, incomplete entries, or format inconsistencies.

3. Data Infrastructure & Governance

· Manage the architecture and flow of data between core systems (ERP, Inventory Management, CRM, etc.) to a central data warehouse or reporting tool.

· Establish Data Governance policies, including data ownership, access control, and security standards.
