Requisition ID:  2815
Date:  9 Nov 2026
Location: 

Zaventem, BE

Business Unit:  435_BU_Transversal Services
Domain:  Advisory - Technology & AI
Description: 

Our KPMG Lighthouse is growing! 

 

Do you enjoy bringing structure to data and helping organisations trust the information they run their business on? Do you have a background in data management and see Master Data Management (MDM) as the foundation of every successful data transformation? Then we would love to meet you. 

 

KPMG Lighthouse, the Belgian Center of Excellence for Data & AI, is looking for a Master Data Management Specialist / Consultant. You will join challenging data transformations across a wide range of industries and help clients turn their master data into a reliable business asset.  

 

About the team 

 

As MDM specialist you become part of KPMG Lighthouse, our data and AI center of excellence. We help clients across industries turn data into value, from data strategy, governance and master data management to data engineering, analytics, AI and intelligent automation. Data management specialists, data engineers, data scientists and AI and automation experts work side by side, so we can support clients from solid data foundations all the way to AI at scale. We are a close-knit, energetic team that combines strategy with hands-on delivery, and we like to have fun while doing it. 

 

What you will do 

 

  • Contribute to MDM projects from assessment and design to implementation and adoption, and take ownership of workstreams as you grow. 

  • Help clients shape their MDM strategy, roadmap and business case. 

  • Define and embed MDM principles at clients, such as data governance, roles and responsibilities, and data quality. 

  • Analyse business processes and translate business needs into clear data requirements. 

  • Translate MDM requirements into solution designs within complex system landscapes, working closely with data and solution architects. 

  • Coach junior colleagues and help grow our MDM practice through proposals, offering development and knowledge sharing. 

  

What you bring 

 

If you have a solid data management background and a real interest in MDM, we want to hear from you! 

 

Ideally: 

 

  • You have a master's degree and around 4 to 6 years of experience in data management, for example in master data, data quality, data governance, data modelling or data architecture. 

  • You have hands-on exposure to MDM, such as solving data quality, master data or data integration challenges, in a consulting role or within a business or IT team. 

  • You have a high-level understanding of data architecture and how master data flows across systems. 

  • You are analytical and pragmatic: you get to the root of a problem and turn it into a workable solution. 

  • You explain data topics in plain language, feel at ease facilitating workshops and connect business and IT. 

  • You build trust with clients and bring people along in change, knowing that MDM is as much about people and processes as about technology. 

  • You are a true team player. You share your knowledge openly, ask for help when you need it and give and receive honest feedback. You enjoy working in multidisciplinary teams, you support your colleagues when the pressure is on, and you like celebrating successes together, both on client projects and within the Lighthouse community. 

  • You have a self-starter mindset, curiosity about AI, technology and the drive to keep growing. 

  • Fluency in English and Dutch or French. 

 

Nice to have 

 

  • Experience in a consultancy environment. 

  • Hands-on experience with MDM, data quality or data governance tools (e.g. SAP MDG, Informatica, Stibo STEP, Collibra). 

  • Knowledge of major ERP packages such as SAP or Dynamics 365 and their underlying data architecture. 

  • Experience coaching or guiding more junior colleagues.
