About the role

Joining Nestlé means joining the largest food and beverage company in the world.

You will help teams use reliable, well‑managed data to improve decision‑making, efficiency, compliance, and business performance.

Key responsibilities

• Turn business needs into a clear roadmap: identify data‑related challenges and opportunities, prioritize initiatives, and coordinate the people and resources needed to deliver measurable improvements.
• Establish the local data governance operating model: define clear roles, responsibilities, ownership, and required capabilities; identify gaps and support onboarding or development of subject‑matter experts and data owners.
• Improve data quality, consistency, and control: help strengthen policies, workflows, standards, and controls covering data quality, security, compliance, privacy, retention, ethics, discoverability, and lineage.

• Monitor performance and lead continuous improvement: track relevant KPIs, address gaps in data maturity, coverage, and quality, and identify opportunities for automation, process improvement, and data literacy.
• Support governance forums and issue resolution: participate in data governance working groups, support decision‑making, and establish clear communication and escalation channels for resolving data issues.
