The Team
Our team ensures that product data is accurate, complete, consistent, and delivered at the right moment in time to enable seamless downstream operations. We are key stakeholders in defining, governing, and monitoring product data integrity across the organization. By safeguarding data visibility, timeliness, and quality, we enable operational excellence, support digital transformation initiatives, and drive scalable data practices.
We collaborate cross-functionally with product teams, engineering, and central functions to ensure that product data is optimized, reliable, and actionable.
The Role

Additionally, you will highlight improvement opportunities and embed stronger controls, processes, and ways of working to achieve consistent, scalable, and timely product data setup.
You will work closely with a Data Analyst who supports the team with data modelling, reporting, data quality analysis, and Python-based automation.
