Full Job Posting
Role Overview
- We're hiring a Catalogue Consultant to shape the way Salla merchants manage their product data, taxonomy, and digital content.
- The role involves creating catalogue systems that are both structured and merchant friendly.
What You Will Do
- Redefine how product data lives in Salla. Evaluate how merchants today create, categorize, and enrich product data — then design smarter, scalable structures for thousands of SKUs across categories.
- Build the taxonomy backbone. Define and maintain taxonomy, metadata, and data governance frameworks that support multi language catalogues (Arabic/English) and multiple markets (GCC, International).
- Collaborate across product, engineering, and UX. Work with squads responsible for Imports, Checkout, and Discovery to improve product import flows, attribute management, and localization logic.
- Design attribute and classification templates. Create adaptive attribute templates and product schemas per merchant type (e.g., fashion, beauty, electronics), ensuring every category captures only what's relevant.
- Drive catalogue data quality. Set standards for product data completeness, consistency, and SEO alignment — ensuring high discoverability across store search, marketplaces, and external channels.
- Lead PIM/MDM implementations. Guide system testing, integration, and data validation for catalogue syncs, bulk imports, and migration workflows from other platforms.
- Improve product discovery. Define which product attributes appear as filters and how they impact conversion, relevance, and recommendation quality.
- Collaborate on merchant tooling. Support the design of new catalogue management tools, AI enrichment features, and merchant onboarding experiences for product setup.
Requirements
- 5 8 years of experience in catalogue or product data management within e commerce, marketplaces, or ERP environments.
- Experience in Product Information Management (PIM) or Master Data Management (MDM): You've implemented or managed systems such as Akeneo, Riversand, Pimcore, Salsify, or Informatica.
- Strong understanding of eCommerce catalog structures: You know how SKU data, product variants, and attribute hierarchies work across complex product types (fashion, beauty, electronics, FMCG, etc.).
- Hands on experience with product data and taxonomy: You've built or optimized attribute models, filters, and product classification systems at scale.
- Knowledge of SEO and content enrichment best practices: You understand how structured product data improves visibility, search performance, and customer discovery.
- Analytical mindset: You can analyze merchant catalogs, identify inconsistencies, and propose scalable data models that improve automation and reporting.
- Technical literacy: Familiar with data exchange formats (CSV, JSON, XML), APIs, and integrations between catalog, ERP, and marketplace systems.
- Bilingual advantage: Fluency in Arabic and English is a plus, especially for taxonomy and localization validation across regions.
- Preferred background: Experience with online marketplaces, large retail eCommerce operations, or SaaS product catalog systems.
- Proven experience managing large scale product data: Comfortable working with tens or hundreds of thousands of SKUs, ensuring data normalization, bulk imports, and catalog consistency across multi channel retail environments.
- Omnichannel and retail experience: You've collaborated with or worked inside retailers that operate both online and offline, understanding how to align digital catalog data with POS systems, ERP integrations, and in store inventory synchronization.
