The Opportunity
As the Master Data Management & Operations Director, you will lead the build-out and ongoing operation of MassMutual’s Distribution Master Data Management (MDM) capability. This role is responsible for establishing the people, processes, stewardship routines, data standards, and technology partnerships needed to deliver trusted master data across critical business domains, including Product, Party, Advisor, Account, Contract, and related reference data.
This is both a capability-building and operating leadership role. You will define the MDM strategy, target operating model, and roadmap while also ensuring day-to-day data stewardship, issue management, data quality monitoring, domain health reporting, and remediation processes operate effectively.
As a hands-on leader of this newly established function, you will build and develop a high-performing team of data governance and stewardship professionals while partnering across Distribution, Data & Analytics, and Technology organizations to establish enterprise data standards, ownership models, stewardship practices, and MDM capabilities.
The Impact

Your work will strengthen confidence in the data used for reporting, analytics, planning, digital experiences, customer and advisor insights, and operational execution.
Partnering closely with business and technology leaders, you will drive data quality, governance adoption, and MDM platform evolution to improve operational efficiency, support enterprise transformation initiatives, and advance the organization's data maturity. By balancing strategy with operational execution, you will help move the organization from fragmented, manually reconciled data toward more consistent, governed, and business-owned master data.

- Oversee data issue intake, triage, root cause analysis, exception management, remediation planning, and business escalation.
- Maintain stewardship procedures, business glossaries, data standards, domain documentation, ownership records, and operational playbooks.
- Coordinate recurring stewardship reviews, domain health reporting, issue management routines, and operational performance tracking.
MDM Platform & Technology Partnership
- Partner with Technology, Architecture, Engineering, and implementation partners to define business requirements, data models, matching rules, survivorship logic, hierarchies, workflows, and operating controls.
- Support MDM platform implementation, testing, adoption, operational readiness, and ongoing enhancement.
- Ensure Distribution data standards, stewardship workflows, and business rules are reflected in systems, integrations, reporting platforms, and downstream data products.
- Represent business needs in technology delivery while ensuring solutions are operationally sustainable.
Data Quality & Continuous Improvement
- Establish data quality measures, scorecards, controls, thresholds, and monitoring routines for critical master data elements.
- Drive improvements in data accuracy, consistency, completeness, timeliness, usability, and trust.
- Identify recurring data defects, manual reconciliation needs, and operational pain points, then lead cross-functional remediation efforts.
- Promote continuous improvement by strengthening controls, reducing repeat issues, and improving upstream data capture and maintenance practices.
Change Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement
- Lead stakeholder engagement, communications, and training activities that support adoption of MDM, stewardship, and data quality practices.
- Help business users understand their role in maintaining trusted master data and using governed data assets.
- Communicate progress, risks, adoption metrics, data quality outcomes, and operational health to senior business and technology stakeholders.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Master Data Management
Document your MDM specialization before applying
Gather evidence that your work requires a specific bachelor's or advanced degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field. PERM audits often challenge MDM roles on specialty occupation grounds, so job descriptions and your transcripts must align precisely.
Check prevailing wages using OFLC Wage Search
Look up your target job title and metro area in OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer. Your employer's PERM application must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing rate, and a mismatch at the offer stage delays the entire green card timeline.
Target employers with active PERM filing histories
Search for MDM roles at companies that regularly sponsor foreign workers through PERM. Enterprises running large ERP or data warehouse programs tend to have established immigration programs and in-house counsel already familiar with the labor certification steps for technical roles.
Use Migrate Mate to filter green card sponsoring employers
Filter MDM job listings by employers with verified EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history using Migrate Mate. This narrows your search to companies that have completed PERM filings for similar data management roles, cutting out employers unlikely to start the process.
Negotiate job title precision before PERM begins
Ask your employer to define your title and duties narrowly in the job description before filing. A title like 'Master Data Management Analyst' maps more cleanly to O*NET codes than a generic 'Data Analyst' role, strengthening the specialty occupation argument USCIS will evaluate during I-140 review.
Understand priority dates before choosing EB-2 or EB-3
If you were born in India or China, your priority date determines when USCIS can approve your adjustment of status. EB-2 backlogs for those countries extend years longer than EB-3, so your employer's choice of classification directly affects how long you wait for permanent residency.
Green Card Master Data Management: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Master Data Management roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Both categories apply depending on the role level and your credentials. Senior MDM architects and data governance managers with advanced degrees or progressive specialized experience typically qualify for EB-2. Analysts and junior specialists with a bachelor's degree usually proceed under EB-3 as skilled workers. Your employer's legal team determines the appropriate classification based on the actual job duties and your educational background.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for MDM professionals?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa with a three-year initial period and an annual lottery for most applicants. PERM sponsorship leads to permanent residency and has no annual cap at the petition level, though priority date backlogs can delay the final green card for applicants from India and China. The PERM process also requires DOL labor market testing before USCIS reviews your I-140, making the employer's role more demanding than the H-1B filing process.
How long does the PERM process take for a Master Data Management role?
The full timeline from PERM filing to an approved I-140 typically runs 18 to 30 months or longer for most applicants, not counting priority date wait times. DOL currently processes standard PERM applications in the range of several months to over a year depending on audit activity. After PERM certification, your employer files the I-140 petition with USCIS, which adds additional processing time before you can file for adjustment of status.
What makes an MDM job description strong enough for PERM labor certification?
DOL auditors look for job requirements that genuinely demand a specific degree field, not just any bachelor's degree. For MDM roles, duties tied to data governance frameworks, metadata management, or master data architecture in enterprise systems support a specialty occupation argument better than general database administration tasks. Your employer should use O*NET to map the role accurately and ensure the minimum requirements listed in the job description match your actual credentials.
Where can I find Master Data Management employers who sponsor green cards?
Migrate Mate lets you search MDM job listings filtered by employers with documented EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, so you can focus on companies already familiar with the PERM process for technical roles. Beyond targeted job searches, large enterprises in financial services, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing frequently sponsor MDM professionals because clean master data is central to their compliance and operational systems.
