About the Role
We are seeking a senior-level Portfolio Architect to lead the strategy and execution of enterprise Master Data Management (MDM) across a complex and evolving eCommerce ecosystem.
This role is critical in transforming fragmented data across multiple systems into a unified, scalable, and governed data architecture. You will play a key role in establishing a single source of truth across three core domains: Customer, Product (SKU/Material), and Vendor.
This is a high-impact, highly visible role where you will act as a technical leader and strategic partner—driving architectural decisions while remaining hands-on in execution.

Leadership and Collaboration
- Act as a senior technical leader influencing architecture decisions across the organization
- Partner with business, engineering, and data teams to shape the MDM roadmap
- Provide hands-on guidance across system design, integrations, and data workflows
- Lead without direct reports, driving alignment through influence and expertise
Required Qualifications
- 8–12+ years of experience in Master Data Management and/or Data Architecture

- Experience supporting eCommerce or retail ecosystems
- Ability to balance strategy, architecture, and hands-on execution
