Job Description About the role The Data Solutions Specialist manages our customers’ variable data for printed labeling. Examples include price tags containing data such as item prices, sizes, and barcodes as well as care and content labels – either printing and shipping to the customer or enabling the customer to print themselves.

Work closely with global stakeholders to prepare project plans, lead calls across IT, Sales, Development, and Operations teams, and manage multiple implementation projects to ensure milestones, dates, and quality standards are met. Ensure functional and data requirements are met by preparing test plans, executing end-to-end testing including User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and resolving customer variable data issues in collaboration with production sites.
