E-commerce Catalog Specialist

We are building a B2B trading business that develops and sources products through a network of manufacturing partners and reaches buyers through digital commerce channels. Our work combines product development, contract manufacturing, commercial negotiation, and order execution.

We are looking for an E-commerce Catalog Specialist to help build accurate, informative product listings and foster a collaborative working environment. You will contribute to improving our catalog processes, supporting the team, and helping buyers find and understand the right products.

Role Overview

You will manage product listings and catalog content within our seller account, working closely with Category Managers to collect, organize, and publish reliable product information.

The role combines Arabic and English content writing, product data management, AI-assisted image creation and editing, Excel-based bulk uploads, and listing quality improvements.

The initial catalog will contain around 100 products or slightly more, with the potential to grow beyond 1,000 products.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, upload, and maintain product listings, including titles, descriptions, categories, technical attributes, specifications, and product variations.
• Write and edit product descriptions in Arabic and English using verified information supplied by Category Managers. Request clarification whenever information is incomplete or inconsistent.
• Collect and organize materials, dimensions, units, colors, sizes, and other category-specific data, ensuring consistency between descriptions, images, and structured attributes.
• Update approved prices, specifications, designs, and images promptly, maintaining traceable records of changes and approvals.
• Use AI tools to create or edit product visuals, resize images, and prepare listing assets while preserving the actual product's appearance, features, and approved specifications.
• Prepare and validate Excel files for bulk product uploads and updates. Resolve import errors, duplicate records, and missing or incorrectly formatted data.
• Improve product titles, descriptions, keywords, and classification to support search visibility and help buyers understand and compare products.
• Monitor listing status, rejected or incomplete submissions, and publishing issues. Coordinate corrections and follow up with platform support when required.
• Audit catalog accuracy and completeness, track publishing progress and recurring errors, and coordinate product information updates with Category Managers.

• 1–3 years of relevant experience managing product listings or catalogs for an online store, e-commerce website, or marketplace seller account.
• Direct hands-on experience adding, editing, organizing, and maintaining products through an online platform. Experience with a specific marketplace is not mandatory.
• Practical experience managing product descriptions, images, attributes, categories, variations, and price updates, with strong attention to accuracy.
• Working knowledge of Excel and bulk upload templates, with the ability to handle growing catalogs and maintain consistent product records.

Technical and Content Competencies

• Ability to write clear Arabic product content and prepare straightforward English descriptions at an intermediate level, approximately CEFR B1. Advanced English proficiency is not required.
• Ability to use AI tools for product image generation and editing, check the output against source images and approved specifications, and correct misleading or inaccurate details before publication.
• Excel skills covering sorting, filtering, basic formulas, duplicate checks, data cleanup, and preparing structured files for bulk imports and updates.
• Understanding of product attributes, SKU consistency, units of measurement, category mapping, and variation relationships.
• Basic understanding of product search optimization, relevant keywords, descriptive titles, and complete attributes, without keyword stuffing or unsupported product claims.
• Ability to identify missing or contradictory technical information and coordinate with Category Managers rather than inventing specifications.
• Strong organization, follow-up, teamwork, and attention to detail, with the ability to manage repeated updates across a large product catalog.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Photoshop or Canva is an advantage, not a requirement.
• Familiarity with catalog/PIM systems, CMS tools, or marketplace seller portals is useful.
• Experience managing catalogs of more than 1,000 products is an advantage, not a prerequisite.
