Product Data Manager / Taxonomy Consultant

A leading multi-market B2C corporation is undertaking a ground-up redesign of its product catalogue and is seeking an experienced Product Catalogue Architect to lead the structural design.

This is not a tidy-up exercise. You will rethink the catalogue model from first principles, optimising for the operations that genuinely matter, while working within real multi-country, multi-proposition complexity and legacy constraints. The business is prepared to make significant changes and clean-up, so this is a genuine opportunity to shape the foundations.

What you will do

• Design the structure of the product catalogue
• Relationships (inheritance, compatibility)
• Leverage the existing product hierarchy and product vision as your starting point
• Target the common, high-frequency operations that currently create pain, such as repetitive product creation and slow, manual catalogue tasks
• Balance first-principles thinking with pragmatic handling of legacy and migration realities

What we are looking for

• Proven experience as a Taxonomy Consultant, Information Architect or Product Data Specialist
• Track record on large-scale commerce or content platforms
• Strong grasp of catalogue modelling: hierarchies, attributes, entitlements, pricing and geo rules
• Comfortable redesigning models rather than only optimising existing tooling

Platform experience (any of the following an advantage)

• Catalogue-driven business support systems and commerce platforms such as Sigma Systems, Hansen, Amdocs, Netcracker or Oracle Communications
• Salesforce Industries/Vlocity Enterprise Product Catalog (EPC)
• PIM and MDM tools such as Stibo Systems, Akeneo, Salsify, inRiver or Informatica
