The posting

AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.

Position Overview

AST SpaceMobile is seeking a detail-oriented Lead Master Data & Configuration Management Specialist to bridge engineering configuration data with supply chain operations across a multinational business environment. The Lead Specialist ensures that every inventory item is accurately coded, classified, and linked across Enterprise Resource Planning and Warehouse Management Systems. They will establish structural rules, data attributes and parameters, including country-specific requirements such as local tax, customs, regulatory, costing, accounting, and reporting attributes. This role will collaborate globally with cross-functional teams to ensure item master data supports consistent enterprise standards while meeting regional and country-specific operating requirements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Item Master Architecture: create, configure and maintain inventory records, SKUs, and parts information within the ERP/WMS system.
  • Attribute Mapping: Establish and standardize critical data fields, including Unit of Measure (UOM), weight, dimensions, hazardous material codes, expiration dates, conversion factors, HS codes and country of origin.
  • System Parameter Logic: Configure replenishment triggers, including minimum/maximum levels, safety stock thresholds, lead times, and economic order quantities (EOQ).
  • Storage & Routing Configuration: Define warehouse layout logic within the system, including put-away zones, picking sequences, and temperature-control parameters.
  • Data Harmonization: Synchronize inventory profiles across interconnected networks, bridging suppliers, manufacturing facilities, e-commerce platforms, and retail points of sale.
  • Mass Data Maintenance: Execute bulk data uploads, cleansing routines, and schema adjustments using SQL, advanced Excel, or data migration tools.
  • Lifecycle Change Control: Govern the system workflow for introducing new inventory items, managing product revisions, and phasing out obsolete stock.
  • Audit & Compliance: Conduct regular data health audits to identify duplicate records, missing attributes, or broken pricing links.
  • Finance & Accounting Configuration: Partner with Finance and Accounting to define item-level financial attributes, including inventory valuation method, costing approach, standard cost or average cost logic, asset versus expense treatment, and required general ledger account mappings.
  • Costing, Tax & Compliance Attributes: Maintain ERP fields required for cost rollups, landed cost, taxability, duty classification, capitalization, depreciation, and financial reporting accuracy.
  • Country-Specific ERP Setup: Configure and maintain item master attributes required by each operating country or region, including local tax treatment, statutory reporting requirements, customs documentation, tariff and duty classifications, localization fields, currency considerations, and regulatory compliance needs.
  • Procurement & Supplier Data Setup: Coordinate with Procurement to maintain supplier part numbers, approved vendor lists, purchasing units of measure, lead times, minimum order quantities, purchase pricing, and sourcing rules.
  • Cross-Functional Master Data Governance: Align Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Warehouse Operations, Finance, Accounting, Procurement, Quality, and Compliance teams to ensure item master records are complete, approved, and ready for downstream ERP transactions.
  • Global Collaboration: Work with global and regional stakeholders across Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Warehouse Operations, Finance, Accounting, Procurement, Quality, Compliance, and IT to align ERP item master standards, resolve localization needs, and support consistent master data governance across countries.

  • Process Mapping: Ability to visualize how a database field change impacts physical operations in a fulfillment center.
