Bengaluru / Mumbai
PlayBlue is launching with 100+ brands across every sports category - and right now, none of them exist in our system. No product data, no images, no specs, no sizing, no structure. You're going to build all of it, and then keep it clean while it scales. Every product a customer sees, searches for, filters by, or returns is your work. If bad data quietly killing conversion is the kind of problem you find satisfying to fix, read on.
What you'll own
Getting the catalog live. You'll onboard the best global brands - building product records from whatever messy formats they send (spreadsheets, PDFs, folders of unlabelled images) into a structured, consistent, searchable catalog. Attributes, variants, sizing, specs, taxonomy, content - all of it goes through you, at volume.
Data quality is the actual job. A wrong size chart means returns. A missing attribute means a product nobody can filter to. A duplicated SKU means a stockout that isn't real. You'll own the rules that prevent this, catch the errors that slip through, and fix them faster than they compound. You'll build the checks so quality holds when the catalog is 10x bigger and you're not personally touching every record.
You'll work with buying on new drops and assortment - getting products live in time to sell, not a week after. With brand and content on how products are described and shown. With the e-commerce lead on taxonomy and merchandising logic. When national marketing traffic turns on, the catalog has to be deep, accurate, and complete before that spend lands. That readiness is on you.
What we're looking for
3-6 years in catalog, product data, or e-commerce operations - ideally in sports, apparel, footwear, marketplace, or a multi-brand environment. You've onboarded product at scale and lived with the consequences of getting it wrong. You're precise to the point of being annoying about it, fast in a mess, and you'd rather build a system than repeat a task.
Comfortable in spreadsheets and in a PIM or custom platform (ours is custom-built, not Shopify - you'll shape how catalog works on it). You know your way around SKUs, variants, attributes, and taxonomies, and you understand why a clean product record is a commercial asset, not admin. Bonus points if you've onboarded brands directly, built data-quality processes from scratch, or worked a launch under a hard deadline.
Why now, why PlayBlue
You're building the catalog from zero, for a brand defining a new category in Indian sport - not maintaining someone else's data model or inheriting someone else's mess. The decisions you make now about structure and quality are the ones everything sells on top of for years. That's rare ownership for this role. Come talk to us if you want it.
The best sports brands in India will all be in one place. We're building that place. Come be part of it.
Fast-moving, sport-obsessed, building something India's never had. If that sounds like your kind of problem, let’s talk?
