As a Product Data Specialist within Customer Operations Europe at Unilever, you play a pivotal role in developing end-to-end European Product Data Management (EPDM). You ensure the accuracy, consistency, and integrity of product data across the portfolio, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including marketing, supply chain, R&D, and IT.

Within the EPDM team, specialists operate across three areas of expertise: material data, end-to-end data, and data flow.

• Ensuring product data accuracy, completeness, and synchronisation with global standards such as GS1 GDSN and other product data interfaces;
• Establishing and maintaining data governance policies, overseeing master data creation and maintenance, and driving regulatory compliance across local and international requirements;
• Identifying and implementing continuous improvements to data management processes, monitoring innovations, and supporting markets with operational capacity challenges.

• Proficiency in Dutch and strong communication skills to convey data requirements clearly to stake holders;
• Experience or affinity with Product Information Management (PIM), data integration, and data governance;
• The ability to manage change, lead process improvement initiatives, and persuade teams to adopt data standards;
• A continuous improvement mindset combined with practical creativity and enterprising behaviour.

Department

The Customer Operations Europe team brings together Sales, Supply Chain, and Marketing to enable excellent execution. The team operates on four core principles: end-to-end ownership, maximised automation, one version of the truth, and continuous improvement — working across countries in a culturally diverse and virtual setting.
