MDG SAP Business Analyst
The LaSalle Group, Chicago, IL, United States
We are seeking a highly analytical and business-facing SAP MDG professional to support and evolve a recently implemented Master Data Governance (MDG) environment. This individual will play a critical role in bridging the gap between business stakeholders and technical execution, ensuring that MDG solutions are thoughtfully designed, scalable, and aligned with enterprise needs.
This is not a ticket-driven role - the ideal candidate will operate as a strategic partner to the business, bringing strong critical thinking, curiosity, and solution-oriented mindset to an evolving MDG landscape.
Key Responsibilities
Translate business requirements into scalable and effective solutions within the SAP MDG platform
Engage directly with stakeholders across multiple functions (Customer, Finance, and SAP Master Data domains) to gather, refine, and validate requirements
Ask thoughtful, probing questions to fully understand business needs before solutioning
Act as a true business partner - assessing feasibility, challenging assumptions, and recommending optimal approaches
Provide thought leadership on how to best leverage MDG capabilities, especially in areas that are newly implemented or not yet fully explored
Collaborate with offshore support teams to guide execution and ensure alignment with business intent
Help navigate and define processes within uncharted or evolving areas of the MDG tool
Team & Environment
Existing offshore MDG support team focused primarily on ticket execution
This role will serve as the key liaison between the U.S. business and offshore resources
High visibility with business stakeholders and opportunity to shape how MDG is utilized moving forward
Required Qualifications
Strong experience with SAP Master Data Governance (MDG)
Solid understanding of SAP Master Data concepts (Customer, Vendor, Finance, etc.)
Proven ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a proactive mindset
Excellent communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with business stakeholders
IT background with experience working in cross-functional environments
Ideal Candidate Profile
Not a traditional "order-taker" - someone who challenges, advises, and improves solutions
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and exploring new or undefined areas
Brings a consultative approach and thought leadership to MDG usage and optimization
Strong balance of business acumen and technical understanding
