Master Data Specialist

We are looking for a Master Data Specialist to support customer and product record maintenance for a scientific instrument manufacturing organization in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. This is a Contract position suited for someone who can learn new processes quickly, manage detailed data updates across multiple platforms, and make sound decisions in a fast-moving environment.

• Maintain and update master data records for customer accounts and related setups with a strong focus on precision, completeness, and turnaround time.
• Review incoming change requests, determine the correct data actions needed, and resolve inconsistencies by applying business rules, licensing requirements, tax considerations, and audit expectations.
• Work across several business applications at the same time, including enterprise and document management systems, to complete account maintenance accurately and efficiently.
• Support the creation and upkeep of foundational data that enables quoting, order processing, shipping, and required documentation to proceed correctly.
• Investigate record issues, identify missing or conflicting information, and troubleshoot data problems before updates are finalized.
• Participate in virtual training, absorb new procedures quickly, and apply them effectively within a short onboarding period.
• Adjust to shifting priorities and expanded data responsibilities, including additional master data scope and new tools introduced to the team.
• Manage daily assignments independently with limited oversight while maintaining consistent productivity and quality in a remote work environment.
