The process of the planned separation is anticipated to be completed within 18 to 24 months, subject to legal requirements, including consultation with works councils and other employee representative bodies, as may be required, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and approvals. Should you accept this position, it is anticipated that, following conclusion of the transaction, you would be an employee of DePuy Synthes and your employment would be governed by DePuy Synthes employment processes, programs, policies, and benefit plans. In that case, details of any planned changes would be provided to you by DePuy Synthes at an appropriate time and subject to any necessary consultation processes. 

Job Overview 

The Sr. Manager, Product Master Operations is a global leadership role within Supply Chain & Operations (SC&O) Systems, responsible for delivering accurate, timely, and compliant product master data that enables DePuy Synthes’ end-to-end supply chain. This leader oversees product master data operations across regions and enterprise platforms, ensuring data is created, maintained, and governed with the rigor required to support manufacturing, planning, distribution, customer readiness, and business continuity in a highly regulated MedTech environment. 

This role has broad global impact and serves as a critical connector across Supply Chain, Quality, Regulatory, IT, R&D, and Commercial teams to ensure product data is fit for purpose across the product lifecycle—from new product introduction and change management through ongoing maintenance and discontinuation.

This position also plays an important role in business and systems transformation, translating evolving business requirements into sustainable master data processes and capabilities that support growth, resilience, and execution across a complex global medical device network.

  • Own the operational execution and continuous improvement of product master data processes across the full product lifecycle, including new product introductions, changes, transfers, inactivations, and discontinuations. 

  • Establish and evolve scalable data governance standards, business rules, controls, and decision rights to strengthen data integrity, audit readiness, traceability, and regulatory compliance in a highly regulated MedTech environment. 

  • Partner cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Quality, Regulatory, R&D, Manufacturing, IT, Planning, and Commercial teams to ensure product data is fit for purpose and ready to support global business operations. 

  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing global team, building strong capabilities in operational execution, data stewardship, business process mapping, problem-solving, change leadership, and continuous improvement. 

  • Define, monitor, and communicate key operational and data quality metrics, service levels, risks, and performance trends to drive accountability, transparency, and informed decision-making with senior leadership. 

  • Drive standardization and simplification of product master processes across regions and systems, reducing variation, improving cycle times, and enabling a more consistent global operating model. 

  • Identify, prioritize, and implement automation opportunities that reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and increase throughput across master data operations, including workflow optimization, rules-based validations, and exception management. 

  • Partner with business and technology teams to evaluate and apply AI-enabled and advanced analytics capabilities that enhance data quality monitoring, issue detection, process efficiency, and decision support, with appropriate governance and control. 

  • Act as the business and operational subject matter expert for system enhancements, ERP and master data initiatives, and broader digital transformation efforts impacting product master data. 

  • Support business continuity and transformation readiness by ensuring product data processes, roles, training, and controls can scale with organizational change, new platform capabilities, and evolving business needs. 

  • Champion a culture of operational excellence, data accountability, and innovation by leveraging leading practices from the MedTech industry to improve service, resilience, and end-to-end supply chain performance.
