Job Description:
You’re not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither
are we. Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World,
and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about
making a difference. Here, you’ll bring your professional
expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio
of iconic, ground-breaking brands. In this role, you’ll help us
deliver better care for billions of people around the world. It
starts with YOU. Data is the fuel that powers Kimberly Clark! It
explains our past and our present and helps guide where we should

IT, Strategy, and Procurement). The Data Steward will be asked to
provide input around the data itself – how to use or not use it,
how much it is being used, what it is being used for, if the usage
is valuable, etc. In this role, you will: Be a subject matter
