About Peak Design

The purpose of Peak Design is to create happy, meaningful lives for the people that work here. We believe this purpose can only be achieved when self-actualizing, highly stoked people enthusiastically step into (or log onto) the Peak Design office every day. Our purpose and our mission go hand-in-hand and we encourage and celebrate authenticity and the unique perspective each of our employees brings. We’re a close-knit team that thrives on mutual respect and the belief that every voice matters—especially when it’s got something interesting to say.

 

We make radical, meticulously-engineered gear for detail-obsessed people. Our backpacks, travel bags, camera gear, and phone accessories are used dang-near everywhere. If you’ve visited Machu Picchu, Tokyo, or an REI store in the last 10 years, you’ve been within ogling distance of a Peak Design product.

 

Alongside our award-winning gear is a brand that truly reflects who we are as people—passionate about design, deeply caring about our environmental and social impact, unafraid to speak up, radically transparent, and generally down to clown. Whether we’re explaining a product, running a sale, launching a nonprofit, sponsoring a film, or razzing the biggest company on Earth, we do it with our trademark honesty, warmth, and wit. Through our products and our brand, we aim to create delight, and leave this world better than how we found it.

About the job

Peak Design is looking for a detail-oriented Product Data Operations Contractor to support the stabilization and upkeep of our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system (Arena). This role is focused on execution (cleaning, validating, and maintaining) product data so that our product, sourcing, and operations teams can move faster and make better decisions. The contract will last around 4 months.

This is not a product, engineering, or systems design role. It is an operational support role focused on accuracy, consistency, and throughput.

Key responsibilities:

Clean, standardize, and upload historical parts and BOMs into Arena PLM

Validate part metadata including naming, attributes, sourcing, and cost fields

Upload and organize supporting documentation (2D drawings, tech packs, compliance docs, etc.)

Prepare and release Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) under defined processes

Resolve data errors and inconsistencies flagged during imports or reviews

Support batch updates for cost or sourcing changes when needed

Maintain clear documentation of processes, standards, and handoffs

Provide weekly progress updates on assigned workload

What this role is NOT:

No product design or engineering decision-making

No CAD ownership or drawing creation

No system configuration, scripting, or tool development

No process or policy ownership

This role executes within clearly defined processes and standards.

Required skills and experience:

3+ years experience in data operations, product data management, ERP/PLM admin, or similar structured systems work

High attention to detail and comfort working with complex structured data (parts, attributes, hierarchies)

Strong organizational skills and ability to follow defined standards consistently

Comfortable working with spreadsheets, imports, and web-based systems

Ability to work independently on repetitive, high-accuracy tasks

Clear written communication and ability to document procedures

Nice to haves:

Experience with PLM, ERP, or PDM tools (Arena, Centrics, NetSuite, SAP, etc.)

Experience supporting hardware, apparel, or manufacturing organizations

Familiarity with BOMs, part structures, or manufacturing data

Experience working with U.S.-based teams across time zones

What success looks like:

By the end of the contract (4 months):

Historical product data backlog is fully cleaned and migrated

Ongoing data updates flow without persistent backlog

Data quality issues are significantly reduced

Processes are documented and transferable

Product and Ops teams experience PLM as reliable rather than painful
