• Assist with taxonomy maintenance, attribute schema updates, and category-level data standards as directed.
• Contribute to the enrichment and publishing pipeline for standard catalog products, supporting match rate improvements against IDEA and Affiliated Distributors aggregator feeds.
• Support onboarding of new product data into the PIM platform, including data mapping, validation, and workflow testing.
• Collaborate with the Product Data Manager and cross-functional stakeholders to document data standards and support process improvement efforts.
• Perform application testing during Stibo STEP upgrades and ongoing development initiatives.
