HR Masterdata Manager

Job Title: HR Masterdata Manager Company: GRUNDFOS Job Category: SAP SUCCESSFACTORS Roles & Responsibilities: Are you the kind of leader who holds the line on data standards — even when someone senior asks for an exception — because you understand what sloppy master data costs downstream? Then join our mission to pioneer smarter water solutions that reduce energy use and improve lives. As our new Master Data Manager , you'll be leading a master data and reporting team through high\-stakes, high\-accuracy work that keeps HR data clean, compliant and trusted across a complex global manufacturing organisation. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well\-being, and a sense of belonging. Your main responsibilities include: * Lead, develop and motivate a team doing repetitive, high\-consequence data work — spotting accuracy drift before it becomes a problem * Own and enforce master data standards, keeping exceptions rare, documented and time\-limited rather than permanent * Plan and coordinate resources, budgets and priorities across the HR master data unit as part of the India rollout * Develop and implement scalable processes that allow new countries, entities or acquisitions to be absorbed smoothly * Translate data quality issues into business\-impact language for stakeholders who have no interest in data itself * Drive continuous improvement in data quality against defined, measurable standards — not just assertions Above all, you're a calm, principled leader who sees second\-order consequences across interconnected systems, keeps a team engaged through meticulous work, and knows when data is good enough to ship versus when it is not. We'd also imagine that you are/have: * A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support. * Annual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well\-being activities. * Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering. * On\-demand training and structured development programmes to support your growth. Work Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India Availability: Full time

* Master's degree or equivalent, with 0-3 years of experience in master data management, HR operations or a related discipline * Proven experience leading a team and building or improving processes within HR or master data in a large, complex organisation * Strong understanding of how changes to foundational data objects cascade across downstream systems and reports * Demonstrated ability to stay steady under audit and deadline pressure without transmitting stress to the team * Experience in a global manufacturing environment, ideally involving multi\-country HR data or ERP rollouts * Familiarity with HR systems such as SAP SuccessFactors, Workday or similar platforms * Track record of reducing repeat data requests by building a recurring self\-service catalogue Valuing our differences helps us see possibilities where others can't. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from all abilities, experiences, and backgrounds. As part of our commitment to a safe and compliant hiring process, final candidates may be required to undergo a background check, subject to applicable local laws and regulations.
