About the role
Implementing a new Product Information Management (PIM) system to centralize and streamline product data across the portfolio.
Hands-on role supporting data cleanup, entry, and validation work critical to a successful launch.
Reporting to the Product Management Team and partnering closely with the PIM project lead throughout the engagement.
Responsibilities
- Clean, standardize, and enrich product attributes in our PIM system across a catalog of 20,000+ SKUs spanning Fabric, Wallcovering, Trim, and Furniture, efficiently using batch tools and lookups to work efficiently at scale.

- Partner with the Portfolio Development, Design and Data teams to resolve data gaps and quality issues.
- Work within Excel-based taxonomy and classification templates to support data preparation and handoff.
Requirements
- Strong Excel / spreadsheet skills — comfortable working with large, structured datasets and confident with lookups (VLookup / XLookup), pivot tables, filtering, and deduplication.
- Exceptional attention to detail and genuine ownership and accountability for data accuracy.
- A pattern-spotter who notices when a rule is producing bad output and proposes a better approach.
- A self-starter who has good judgement about when to decide independently versus when to escalate.
- Strong intuition for what to batch-fix versus what needs a human eye, sustaining precision at volume.
- Enthusiasm for using AI tools to accelerate and improve repetitive data work.
- Clear, professional written communication.
- Interest in product data, eCommerce, or digital operations.
Qualifications
- Nice to have:
- Familiarity with PIM, ERP, or eCommerce platforms.
- Experience in home furnishings, luxury goods, or retail.
