Catalogue Expert (f/m/x) - remote (12 month fixed)

For our Listing department, we are looking for a Taxonomy/Catalogue Expert who will own the structure, quality, and scalability of refurbed's product catalogue — the category tree, attributes, and data models that search, filters, listings, pricing (SRP), and compliance are all built on.

WHO YOU ARE

Experienced with product taxonomy/classification in e-commerce or marketplace environments

A strong data modeler and structured thinker, comfortable defining schemas rather than just filling them in

Proficient in SQL and spreadsheet/BI tools (Looker or equivalent) for auditing Catalogue quality at scale

Familiar with SEO and search/filter mechanics as they relate to attributes and category structure

Experienced with (or has an aptitude for) automation/scripting to run taxonomy audits and bulk changes

A strong cross-functional communicator who can drive alignment without direct authority over sellers or other teams;

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own the global category tree structure: product/instance relationships, subcategories, and category dependencies across markets — and run periodic taxonomy audits

Design the attribute schema for each category: (allowed values, mandatory vs. optional, units) and own attribute governance and naming conventions

Lead deduplication and normalization initiatives across: the catalog, and define/monitor data-quality KPIs for the taxonomy

Lead taxonomy design for new category and market expansion: benchmarking against industry standards, and strong vertical players

Detail-oriented but able to zoom out to system-level: ("does this scale") thinking

Own and maintain: the Category Tree SOP, Filter SOP, and Attribute Governance documentation

Act as the taxonomy point of contact for: Category Management, Selection Squad, Catalyst Squad, Compliance, Marketing, and Customer Service
