Product Catalog Merchandiser
About the role
The Product Catalog Merchandiser owns how products come to life in our catalog — from creation and validation in NetSuite to the accuracy of every detail and image a customer sees. In a category where releases are frequent and product configurations are intricate, this role keeps our catalog fast, complete, and trustworthy.
Responsibilities
- Product creation and validation in NetSuite. Own the end-to-end process of building new product records in NetSuite, validating each one against source data, and serving as the gatekeeper for what goes live.
- Set products up correctly the first time and on time for release dates.
- Accuracy and completeness of product information. Ensure every product record is complete and correct — titles, descriptions, categories, pricing, identifiers (SKU/UPC), attributes, and configuration details.
- Audit existing listings, catch errors before customers do, and uphold consistent catalog standards across the assortment.
- Visual assets for product pages. Assist with and coordinate product photography and image management so every product page has clean, accurate, on-brand visuals — correctly matched to the right product and meeting quality and format specs.
- Process optimization with the AI Development Lead. Work directly with our AI Development Lead to streamline and automate the product-creation workflow. Pilot, test, and refine AI-assisted processes (including tools like Claude) for data entry, enrichment, and quality checks — improving speed without sacrificing accuracy.
Requirements
- Extreme attention to detail. You notice the wrong pack count, a transposed release year, or a mismatched image instantly. Accuracy isn't a goal for you — it's a reflex.
- A solution-oriented mindset with hands-on AI experience (Claude). You're comfortable using AI platforms like Claude to solve problems and improve how work gets done, and you bring a proactive, experimental approach to finding better processes.
- Data analysis skills. You can work confidently with spreadsheets and data sets — spotting patterns and anomalies, reconciling sources, and using data to drive catalog quality and process improvements.
- Knowledge of trading cards and their configurations. You understand sports cards and/or TCGs and how products are structured: sets, parallels, and inserts; cards per pack, packs per box, and boxes per case; hobby vs. retail vs. blaster, and the differences that matter to collectors.
Nice to have
- Experience with NetSuite or a similar ERP, PIM, or e-commerce catalog system
- Background in e-commerce, merchandising, or catalog/data operations
- Basic product photography or photo-editing ability
- Familiarity with all types of trading cards and how they are configured
