Hobbies Direct Product Data and Parts Interpreter

Love RC and have an eye for detail? Help customers find the right part by keeping our product and parts data accurate.

Turn your RC and technical hobby knowledge into a career

Hands-on role mixing data work and real product checks

Full time, onsite at our Breakwater HQ

About the role

You'll create, enrich and maintain the product and parts data behind our catalogue. That way customers can quickly find the right part, returns stay low and our warehouse runs smoothly. A big part of the job is parts interpretation: reading manufacturer schematics to link spare parts, hop-ups and accessories to the right vehicle models. When supplier information falls short, you'll head into the warehouse to unbox, measure and test-fit products yourself.

Key responsibilities

Creating and updating product listings with accurate titles, descriptions, specifications, variations and colourways

Entering and checking MPNs, SKUs, barcodes, brands and categories before stock arrives

Interpreting schematics, exploded diagrams and parts manuals to map parts to vehicle models

Keeping our parts finder accurate so customer compatibility searches return reliable results

Inspecting, measuring and test-fitting products and parts when supplier data is missing or unclear

Working with suppliers to collect imagery, spec sheets, manuals and wiring diagrams

Supporting the warehouse, customer service, media and purchasing teams with data fixes and new-release listings





Uploading supplier invoices into our WMS so the warehouse team can receive incoming shipments without delay

Leveraging internal AI tools and automation to help draft copy, parse supplier info, and build listings faster
