Job Overview

Komatsu is embarking on a global initiative to transform our digital experiences. This role will own and scale the product data foundation that powers our digital commerce ecosystem.

This role will sit at the intersection of product management, data architecture, and technical development, translating complex data and catalog challenges into scalable, high-quality solutions that directly impact conversion, fitment confidence, and customer experience. This is a hands-on role designed for someone who thrives in highly technical environments and can lead through influence, clarity, and data-driven decision-making.

Product Data Quality & Enrichment

* Leverage LLMs to generate SEO-optimized product descriptions and technical summaries at scale, with governance and quality controls.
* Continuously refine AI outputs through feedback loops, confidence scoring, and impact measurement.

Ensure Cross-Reference & Related-Part Integrity
* Build and maintain a related-part relationship graph (substitutes, accessories, kits, required/compatible items).
* Validate consistency between technical attributes and fitment / compatibility logic.
* Ensure all enrichments and relationships are traceable to source with audit history and confidence indicators.

Platform Operations
