Support setup and governance of digital assets (images, video, documents) in a DAM, ensuring assets are enriched, approved and available for use across channels. Process, governance and change Design and document new business processes for product data, content enrichment, approvals, publishing, and ongoing maintenance and, where relevant, customer/CRM processes like data capture, consent, segmentation and campaign briefing. Define ownership, handoffs and SLAs to make sure new ways of working actually stick after go-live. Support training, comms, and handover so that operational teams can run the new process without heavy technical support. Vendor and partner management Act as the day-to-day point of contact for external partners (PIM/DAM vendor, CRM/marketing tech partner, systems integrator, agency, or other delivery partner). Hold suppliers accountable for delivery quality, scope, and timelines. Challenge solutions that won t scale or don t meet requirements. Essential required skills & experience: Led or been the primary BA / PM on at least one end-to-end PIM implementation in a retail or eCommerce environment. 5+ years experience working in eCommerce / digital retail environments (this could include product data, site operations, trading, content, CRM/loyalty, platform rollout, or similar). 2+ years hands-on project management / delivery experience running digital / data / platform change.

Strong business analysis skills: stakeholder workshops, process mapping, gap analysis, converting pain points into actionable requirements. Experience modelling and documenting business processes (BPMN or similar). Track record of supplier / vendor management (scope, commercials, delivery quality). A technical background.

Strong communication skills able to explain technical/structural topics (taxonomy, governance, workflow, data ownership, customer data handling) in plain language to non-technical stakeholders. Desirable / Nice to Have: Experience delivering or contributing to the rollout of a DAM solution. Experience supporting or delivering CRM / customer data / marketing automation initiatives (e.g. segmentation, personalisation, campaign tooling).

Confident using lightweight planning / task management tools such as Microsoft Planner (Plan 1). Experience working with product data flows in a B2B context (supplier onboarding, partner feeds, marketplace syndication, etc.). Hands-on exposure to a PIM platform such as Perfion, Pimberly, Akeneo, inRiver, Salsify etc. Understanding of digital asset workflows (usage rights, versioning, naming conventions, asset lifecycle). Exposure to Agile delivery methods like XP, Kanban or Scrum. About you: You re comfortable being the grown-up in the room for delivery you keep everyone aligned and you spot risk early. You like fixing messy process and unclear ownership. You re practical. You care less about the slide deck and more about Will this data/customer record/content actually land in the right place every time? You re credible with business users and with technical teams, and you can speak enough of both languages to keep things moving.
