About the role
Material Bank is seeking a Sr. Material Researcher to bring deep material expertise and sound judgment to how products are represented across the marketplace's catalog. The role combines hands-on catalog work with research, category development, and standards improvement.
What they're looking for
- Own complex material and product questions that require expert judgment, and the high-value enrichment where source data and tooling fall short
- Review complex brand and product updates, resolve the ambiguity, and add intelligence that makes the record more useful
- Lead or support new category onboarding, including the attributes, controlled vocabularies, and hierarchy placement needed to represent the category well
- Research emerging materials, standards, and designer expectations in your assigned domains, then translate findings into practical recommendations on attributes, CVLs, taxonomy, and terminology
- Investigate search and discovery problems where product data may be contributing
- Propose changes to catalog standards when the current model turns out to be incomplete or misleading, and spot the recurring patterns that should become broader catalog improvements
