Role:
A fantastic opportunity has arisen at Antibodies.com for an individual to lead our product data curation, working across our catalogue of life science research tools. This is a hands-on, highly Excel-based role: you'll manage large product datasets and ensure our product descriptions, images, and pricing are accurate and up to date across the catalogue, using VB.net-based tools to scrape and gather supplier and reference data.
You'll also take ownership of developing our junior product data assistant, providing day-to-day guidance and structured training to bring them up to speed. We're looking for a dynamic, high-performing individual with the passion, skills, and ambition to thrive in a fast-paced start-up setting.
