Job description

We are seeking a visionary Global Product Information Manager to architect, scale, and govern Brady’s enterprise product data ecosystem. In this high-impact role, you will own the global data blueprint for our portfolio, designing scalable Information Architecture (IA) and structured content models that power both traditional digital channels and next-generation AI applications. As a strategic leader, you will balance technical excellence—including data schema design, taxonomy modeling, and system integration—with strategic leadership and mentorship. You will empower a global team of analysts and stewards, instilling a rigorous, strategic approach to data management that accelerates Brady’s digital transformation.

Serving as a cornerstone of Brady’s Digital Product organization, you will optimize our PIM system to drive global marketing and sales initiatives. You will lead cross-functional strategic initiatives, fostering deep partnerships with Product Management, Web, Supply Chain, and Global IT. As a key member of the Product Information Management Steering Council, you will define the long-term roadmap for the tools and processes essential to our global competitive advantage.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design the Global Schema : Establish and scale the global product taxonomy, categorization, and localization rules within the enterprise PIM system.
• Define Inheritance Hierarchies : Build complex attribute inheritance models that support regional variations while maintaining global data integrity.
• Integrate Systems : Map data structures between the PIM platform, enterprise ERP (e.g., SAP/Oracle), Channel Partner systems, and downstream digital channels and applications.
• Enforce Data Standards : Create and implement global data dictionaries, validation rules, and mandatory completeness thresholds.
• Audit System Health : Run regular data quality audits to detect anomalies, broken relationships, or schema non-compliance across contexts.
• Lead Change Management : Direct the global change control process to review, approve, and deploy updates to the core data model.
• Align Global Stakeholders : Partner with international product, marketing, legal, and supply chain teams to harmonize localized data requirements.
• Partner with IT: Provide technical and system requirements to guide the direction for the product roadmap.
• Mentor and Coach : Oversee a decentralized team of regional data analysts and stewards, providing active mentorship to elevate their data literacy.
• Train Users : Develop documentation and deliver training programs on data modeling best practices for regional data stewards.
• Vendor Management : Collaborate with external PIM vendors and system integrators to optimize platform configuration and feature roadmaps as needed.

What You Will Need To Be Successful:

• Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Information Systems, Computer Science, or equivalent technical discipline.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in master data management (MDM) or product information management (PIM), or product management within a large, matrix organization.
• Direct experience managing multi-language, multi-currency, and regionally localized digital product catalogs.
• Advanced configuration and data modeling expertise in enterprise-grade platforms (e.g., Stibo Systems STEP, Salsify, or Riversand).
• Strong proficiency with relational database concepts, entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs), JSON/XML structures, advanced Excel/SQL, and AI prompting.
• Solid understanding of middleware, API integrations, and how product data flows between PIM, ERP, and e-commerce ecosystems.
• Ability to distill highly complex, disparate business data requirements into a simple, unified global structure.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills to negotiate consensus between conflicting business unit requirements.
• Proven ability to coach, grow, and upskill data professionals, building an inclusive environment that fosters continuous learning.
