Job Description:

Location: Flexible in Europe - within reasonable commuting distance from a Mars site

Segment: Corporate

Type of contract: Permanent

As a leader and subject matter expert, the Raw Materials Data Lead will work both as a process owner for Cross-Segment paper data collection, as well as an internal consultant for segment and corporate raw material data needs. These data needs will be continuously gathered and prioritized - progress & results will be presented as part of regular cross-segment calls. The role will also be engaged with Mars' Digital Transformation, Controllership and Reporting teams as needed.

What are we looking for?

  • You bring proven expertise in data governance and lifecycle management, including historical data migration, database structure design, and continuous data quality optimization.

  • You are skilled in data visualization and automation tools, with hands-on proficiency in PowerBI and modern data pipeline architectures (e.g., data lake integration).

  • You demonstrate strong cross-functional communication and consulting skills, with the ability to bridge business/segment needs, reporting requirements, and corporate governance.

  • (Nice-to-have) Experience with Deforestation & Conversion-Free (DCF) sustainability metrics, raw materials (Pulp/Paper, Palm, Soy, Sugar), or environmental impact accounting.

  • (Nice-to-have) Familiarity with internal corporate controls, audit readiness, or non-financial sustainability reporting frameworks.

What would be your key responsibilities?

  • Drive the Cross-Segment Paper Data Collection Process: Lead the end-to-end annual data collection cycle for paper-based packaging across all Mars segments—coordinating with buyers, engaging suppliers, and verifying, cleaning, and formatting datasets to maximize response rates and data accuracy.

  • Govern & Centralize Raw Material Historical Data: Centrally manage multi-year historical data assets (2015 onwards), architecting and maintaining central databases to streamline access, maintenance, and data quality insights across all segments.

  • Automate Sustainability & Deforestation-Free (DCF) Metrics: Bridge data-lake gaps to build centralized data pipelines for core raw materials (Pulp/Paper, Palm, Soy, Sugar) and design interactive PowerBI dashboards to deliver actionable sustainability insights.

  • Support Enterprise Reporting & Internal Controls: Partner closely with Segment Program Leads, Corporate Reporting teams, and Corporate Controllership to define robust data controls, ensure governance compliance, and contribute data to Mars' Global Sustainability reporting (e.g., Sustainable in a Generation Report).

What can you expect from Mars?

  • At Mars, we believe in a relationship of mutual trust, dignity and respect between our company and Associates that is more meaningful than the standard employer/employee relationship.

  • As Associates, we can expect to be respected, supported and valued as individuals, to be treated fairly and equitably.

  • At Mars, we are committed to helping create a safe, healthy, and sustainable world for our partners and the communities in which we operate.

  • The mission of Mars Global Services / Corporate Associates? To be the foundation that serves, protects and supports our business.

  • By joining our Corporate & Shared Services teams, the diversity of encounters will be your daily life: accompanying the transformation and sustainable growth of each of our segments.

  • One Mars Sustainable in a Generation achievement: all our Mars factories worldwide have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions by 31%, which is equivalent to more than half a million tons of carbon.
