How will you shape our tomorrow?

As Product Owner – Product Data Experience (PDx), you will help shape how product information is onboarded, enriched, governed and distributed across Sonepar. You will own the product backlog and functional priorities across Product Onboarding, PIM, MDM, data quality and downstream distribution, turning the PDx vision into tangible improvements for suppliers, data stewards, operating companies and product-data consumers.
Working closely with the PDx Product Manager, business owners, supplier experience teams and country stakeholders, you will lead discovery, understand user journeys and translate business needs into clear priorities, epics, user stories, business rules and acceptance criteria.
You will play an important role in shaping Sonepar's product-data ecosystem, including Syndigo, while connecting global capabilities with regional and local PIM/MDM environments. You will collaborate with architects, data and integration engineers, QA, operations and implementation partners to take solutions from discovery through functional acceptance and release readiness.

-Explore AI-enabled product-data capabilities, including classification, extraction, enrichment and duplicate detection, with measurable quality and human oversight.
-Drive functional acceptance, release readiness and country adoption, measuring success through data quality, efficiency, adoption and user satisfaction.
