Product Data Governance Coordinator

at  Screwfix

OVERVIEW

It’s a great time to join Screwfix. Thanks to the hard work of our team and record-breaking sales, we’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK. And we want to pass that growth onto you.
Whether you’re in procurement, digital, marketing or finance, there’s a role here for you.
Reporting to the Product Data Governance Manager, you will work with Commercial, E-Comms and suppliers to ensure that products are optimised in the product hierarchy. You will be maintaining the construction and development of product selling data for new product types and the maintenance of business rules in the Screwfix product hierarchy.
We believe that a hybrid, flexible working approach offers you – and your colleagues – the best of both worlds. Face-to-face collaboration is an integral part of our warm, friendly culture, so you’ll work from our head office three days a week, working flexibly around our core working hours of 10am-3pm. Beyond that, how, when and where you work is up to you. With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we’ve worked hard to build an office you’ll want to work in. We also know that, when it comes to school pick-ups and home deliveries, it’s nice to have the flexibility to do both.
