Hybrid Product Data Specialist (9-Month FTC)

Colonial Group; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 26,000 - 36,000; Full time

Job summary

Sanderson Design Group plc is seeking a Product Data Assistant for a 9-month FTC to create and maintain product data across brands and markets. You will manage product records, classifications and imagery while supporting launches, pricing and downstream stakeholders in a hybrid work setting (Chiswick or Loughborough).

The role emphasizes attention to detail, data integrity and cross-functional collaboration within Merchandising & Product Strategy.

Qualifications

• Experience working with product, data or administrative processes in a product-led business; ERP or PIM system experience is an advantage, but training will be given.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a high standard of accuracy when working with large volumes of data.
• Good working knowledge of MS Excel (lookups, filtering, basic formulas), and a willingness to build on this.
• Well organised, able to prioritise and work to deadlines within a busy launch calendar.
• Clear written and spoken communication, and the confidence to chase information from across the business.
• A methodical, process-driven approach, with the curiosity to ask why data looks wrong rather than simply re-entering it.
• A genuine interest in the product and the brands, and a willingness to learn the trade.

Responsibilities

• Create and maintain product records in Mertex and the PIM – product and SKU setup, hierarchy, attributes, descriptions, composition, dimensions and status.
• Maintain the product classification data that underpins reporting – pattern book codes, discount codes, seasonality and product group – correcting errors at source rather than downstream.
• Complete routine system housekeeping, including discontinuations, status changes and end-of-life tidy-up.
• Support new collection setup from design hand-over through to launch, working to the critical path and making sure data is complete and accurate ahead of every launch gate.
• Support pricing maintenance – cost and selling price uploads across all markets, the annual price review, and seasonal recode and markdown uploads – checking files before and after upload.
• Administer the ‘specials’ process, making sure requests are logged, set up correctly and follow the standard route.
• Manage product imagery and assets: check coverage against live product, chase missing images, and make sure files are correctly named and published to the CDN and downstream channels.
• Run routine data quality checks and audits – missing attributes, duplicates, incomplete SKUs, products without images or prices – and work exceptions through to resolution.
• Produce routine product data extracts and reports for the Merchandising, Sales and Supply Chain teams.
• Spot repetitive manual tasks and work with the Product Setup and Maintenance Manager to simplify or automate them.
• Support the e-commerce and Digital teams with product content and attributes for online launches on our own websites.
• Support the USA office and other markets with product data queries and set-up requests.
• Take on ad hoc projects for the Product Setup and Maintenance Manager, deputise and take on other reasonable duties as they arise, and uphold the Group’s health and safety standards, leading by example.
