Then join our mission to pioneer smarter water solutions that reduce energy use and improve lives.\nAs 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.\nWhat you will be doing\nAs a key part of the Master Data & Reporting, People Solutions and Advisory team, you'll create impact by building the data foundation that lets Grundfos onboard new countries and entities without crisis, while ensuring every statutory and audit deadline is met without material findings.\nYour main responsibilities include:\nLead, develop and motivate a team doing repetitive, high-consequence data work - spotting accuracy drift before it becomes a problem\nOwn and enforce master data standards, keeping exceptions rare, documented and time-limited rather than permanent\nPlan and coordinate resources, budgets and priorities across the HR master data unit as part of the India rollout\nDevelop and implement scalable processes that allow new countries, entities or acquisitions to be absorbed smoothly\nTranslate data quality issues into business-impact language for stakeholders who have no interest in data itself\nDrive continuous improvement in data quality against defined, measurable standards - not just assertions\nWhat makes you a great fit\nAbove 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:\nMaster's degree or equivalent, with 5-7 years of relevant experience in master data management, HR operations or a related discipline\nProven experience leading a team and building or improving processes within HR or master data in a large, complex organisation\nStrong understanding of how changes to foundational data objects cascade across downstream systems and reports\nDemonstrated ability to stay steady under audit and deadline pressure without transmitting stress to the team\nIt's a plus if you also:\nExperience in a global manufacturing environment, ideally involving multi-country HR data or ERP rollouts\nFamiliarity with HR systems such as SAP SuccessFactors, Workday or similar platforms\nTrack record of reducing repeat data requests by building a recurring self-service catalogue\nWhy you'll love working here\nDay to day, you can look forward to:\nA working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support.\nAnnual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well-being activities.\nThree days' additional paid leave for volunteering.\nOn-demand training and structured development programmes to support your growth.\nValuing 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.\nJoin Grundfos, apply today!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3568,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual bonuses","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Machinery","Water Utilities"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T17:08:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T17:28:39Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/grundfos-hr-masterdata-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/grundfos-hr-masterdata-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T17:28:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6196,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":96252},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=96252"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgrundfos-hr-masterdata-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgrundfos-hr-masterdata-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgrundfos-hr-masterdata-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/grundfos-hr-masterdata-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgrundfos-hr-masterdata-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4026551}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"grundfos.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4026551},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
