Master Data, Technical Analyst (Evolve/Precisely)

Position Summary: The Precisely/Evolve MDM Analyst will serve as e.l.f. Beauty’s primary technical owner of the Precisely/Evolve platform, driving data quality, enrichment, and master data management across customer, vendor, and product domains. This is a platform-forward role for someone who is hands-on with Precisely/Evolve workflows and brings the analytical mindset to continuously improve data health at scale. Experience with SAP master data is strongly encouraged - the two platforms are closely linked in our environment - and candidates who bring dual platform fluency will have a meaningful advantage. The ideal hire is proactive, technically sharp, and eager to build and improve, not just maintain.

Responsibilities

Precisely/Evolve Platform - Primary Focus

• Own the administration, configuration, and ongoing optimization of Precisely/Evolve for data quality, enrichment, matching, and survivorship across customer, vendor, and product master domains.
• Design, build, test, and deploy data quality rules, enrichment workflows, and matching/survivorship logic within the Precisely/Evolve platform.
• Monitor pipeline performance, proactively identify processing gaps or failures, and implement improvements to accuracy and throughput.
• Evaluate and adopt new Precisely/Evolve features and product updates relevant to e.l.f.’s data environment.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation for all Precisely/Evolve workflows, configurations, and data quality rules.
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert on the Precisely/Evolve platform, supporting onboarding, training, and troubleshooting for business and IT users.

MDM Domain Knowledge - Required Foundation

• Apply master data management principles across customer, vendor, and product domains to define what “good data” looks like - including data standards, field-level rules, hierarchy structures, and source-of-truth logic.
• Design matching and survivorship rules grounded in business context: understanding which record wins, why, and what the downstream impact is if that logic is wrong.
• Develop and enforce data quality thresholds by domain, with clear understanding of business consequences for each type of quality failure.
• Partner with data owners to define and document master data standards that translate directly into platform configuration.

Cross-Domain Data Stewardship

• • Apply technical and domain expertise across all three master data domains - customer, vendor, and product - ensuring consistency, completeness, and accuracy across platforms and downstream systems.
  • Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and IT to understand domain-specific requirements and translate them into technical rules, validation logic, and platform configuration.
  • Collaborate with IT on integration design to ensure Precisely/Evolve outputs flow correctly into connected systems including SAP.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Precisely (formerly Syncsort/Trillium) or Evolve, including workflow configuration, data quality rule development, and platform administration - required.
• Demonstrated MDM domain knowledge across one or more of the following: customer master, vendor master, product/material master - required. Breadth across all three is a strong plus.
• Ability to design matching, survivorship, and enrichment logic from first principles - not just execute pre-built configurations - required.
• Experience with SAP master data management (Material Master, Customer Master, and/or Vendor Master) strongly preferred; dual Precisely/Evolve + SAP experience is a significant differentiator.
• Proven ability to identify data quality gaps and proactively drive platform or process improvements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with close attention to data detail and integrity.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with business and IT teams, translating technical concepts clearly for non-technical audiences.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English; ability to collaborate effectively across time zones with global teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA, SAP MDG (Master Data Governance), or data integration middleware a plus.
• Beauty, retail, or consumer packaged goods industry background preferred but not required
