Product Master Data Owner

Your Mission:

As the Product Master Data Owner, you will be the strategic owner of Product Master Data at SKF. This is not an operational data management role — it’s about setting the vision, defining the roadmap, and enabling the organization to execute on a world-class data strategy. You’ll work closely with sub-domain leaders across Engineering, Manufacturing, and Sales/Marketing to ensure our product data models and standards support our digital future.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and own the vision for Product Master Data across SKF’s global operations.
• Lead the development of information models, structures, and standards in collaboration with sub-domain experts.
• Drive the digitalization roadmap for Product Master Data, aligning with enterprise architecture and business goals.
• Ensure strategic alignment of product data across systems, processes, and business units.
• Act as a thought leader and advisor to senior stakeholders on product data governance and modeling.
• Build strong networks across the organization to foster collaboration and adoption of best practices.
• Guide and support teams without getting stuck in operational details.
  
  

What We’re Looking For:

• A university degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field.
• Proven experience in Master Data Management, with a focus on Product Lifecycle and enterprise-level data modeling for engineered products.
• Strong understanding of PIM (Product Information Management) or DAM (Digital Asset Management) systems.
• A strategic mindset with the ability to see the big picture and influence at all levels.
• Experience working in complex, global organizations with cross-functional teams.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills — you inspire, align, and drive change.
• Background in industries such as automotive, heavy industry, or manufacturing is a bonus.
• Fluency in English; additional languages are a plus.
• Willingness to travel occasionally.
  
  

SKF is committed to creating a diverse environment, and we firmly believe that a diverse workforce is essential for our continued success. Therefore, we only focus on your experience, skills, and potential. Come as you are – just be yourself. #weareSKF

Why join SKF?

• Be part of a global, innovative company driving digital transformation.
• Work in an international and agile environment with diverse, cross-functional teams.
• Take on a strategic role with real impact on the future of SKF’s data landscape.
• Enjoy a collaborative culture that values vision, leadership, and innovation.
