An established international business within the automotive sector is looking to recruit a Product Data Coordinator to join a specialist team responsible for managing product information across a large European range.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured, process-driven work, takes pride in accuracy, but also wants a position with real responsibility, exposure and long-term development.

The Role

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and update product and technical data across internal systems
  • Cross-check part numbers, references and specifications
  • Work with catalogues and system information to ensure accuracy
  • Support product range updates, ensuring data is complete and correct
  • Liaise with internal teams including purchasing, quality and supply chain
  • Respond to product-related queries and provide clear, practical answers
  • Take ownership of your product area and ensure high standards are maintained
  • Support supplier-related activity where required, including occasional travel

About You

This role is less about seniority and more about mindset, reliability and approach.

You may come from a background such as:

  • Purchasing / buying / procurement support
  • Inventory / stock control / supply chain
  • Automotive parts (motor factor, dealership, parts advisor)
  • Data-driven or systems-based roles

We would also welcome applications from graduates, particularly those with degrees in areas such as Business, Economics or similar, who are looking for a structured, long-term career where they can develop practical commercial skills.

You ll likely have:

  • Strong attention to detail and a methodical way of working
  • Confidence using systems and handling data
  • The ability to stay focused in a structured, sometimes repetitive role
  • A calm, professional approach especially under pressure
  • Confidence to communicate with others and explain your decisions
  • Willingness to travel occasionally as part of the role
  • A proactive attitude not just processing, but taking ownership

You don t need to be hands-on mechanically product knowledge can be developed over time.

Why This Role?

  • Join a stable, long-standing team with strong internal knowledge
  • Clear structure and defined responsibilities no constant firefighting
  • Excellent benefits package
  • A business that invests in training and long-term careers
  • Opportunity to build deep product, systems and commercial understanding
  • A role that offers both consistency and responsibility

This role will suit someone who enjoys getting things right, working in a structured way and building expertise over time, but who also wants to be trusted, visible and involved in the wider business.

If you re currently in a purchasing, inventory, automotive parts role or a graduate looking for your first or second step into a commercial environment this could be an excellent opportunity.
