[Hiring] Catalogue Expert @refurbed

Role Description

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.

Qualifications

• 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

Requirements

• 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

Benefits

• Access to a dedicated learning budget within your department to support your growth, whether it's courses, conferences, or other learning opportunities that matter to you
• Partnership with Likeminded, offering private sessions with experts for your personal growth and mental health
• Frequent internal workshops, allowing teams to further develop their skills in different areas and enhance collaboration across departments
• Fully remote setting with the possibility to work from our office in Vienna
• Self-organization and flexibility in work hours
• Participation in office weeks, happening three times a year, for team-building events and on-site workshops
