Product Catalogue Architect/Taxonomy Consultant (Contract)
Location: [London, remote and hybrid)
A leading multi-market B2C corporation is undertaking a ground-up redesign of its product catalogue and is seeking an experienced Product Catalogue Architect to lead the structural design.
This is not a tidy-up exercise. You will rethink the catalogue model from first principles, optimising for the operations that genuinely matter, while working within real multi-country, multi-proposition complexity and legacy constraints. The business is prepared to make significant changes and clean-up, so this is a genuine opportunity to shape the foundations.
What you will do
Design the structure of the product catalogue
Hierarchies (products, bundles, add-ons)
Attributes (entitlements, pricing, geo rules, content)
Relationships (inheritance, compatibility)
Leverage the existing product hierarchy and product vision as your starting point
Target the common, high-frequency operations that currently create pain, such as repetitive product creation and slow, manual catalogue tasks
Balance first-principles thinking with pragmatic handling of legacy and migration realities
What we are looking for
Proven experience as a Taxonomy Consultant, Information Architect or Product Data Specialist
Track record on large-scale commerce or content platforms
Strong grasp of catalogue modelling: hierarchies, attributes, entitlements, pricing and geo rules
Comfortable redesigning models rather than only optimising existing tooling
Platform experience (any of the following an advantage)
Catalogue-driven business support systems and commerce platforms such as Sigma Systems, Hansen, Amdocs, Netcracker or Oracle Communications
Salesforce Industries/Vlocity Enterprise Product Catalog (EPC)
PIM and MDM tools such as Stibo Systems, Akeneo, Salsify, inRiver or Informatica
