Product Information Manager

We are seeking a visionary Global Product Information Manager to architect, scale, and govern Brady’s enterprise product data ecosystem. In this high-impact role, you will own the global data blueprint for our portfolio, designing scalable Information Architecture (IA) and structured content models that power both traditional digital channels and next-generation AI applications.

Serving as a cornerstone of Brady’s Digital Product organization, you will optimize our PIM system to drive global marketing and sales initiatives. You will lead cross-functional strategic initiatives, fostering deep partnerships with Product Management, Web, Supply Chain, and Global IT. As a key member of the Product Information Management Steering Council, you will define the long-term roadmap for the tools and processes essential to our global competitive advantage.

• Enforce Data Standards :
  Create and implement global data dictionaries, validation rules, and mandatory completeness thresholds.

• Align Global Stakeholders :
  Partner with international product, marketing, legal, and supply chain teams to harmonize localized data requirements.

• Strong proficiency with relational database concepts, entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs), JSON/XML structures, advanced Excel/SQL, and AI prompting.
