Avery Dennison • Los Angeles, NY

About The Position

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. This process requires taking data from our customers’ IT systems and integrating it into Avery Dennison’s software solutions, which enable the variable data (prices, sizes, etc.) to print correctly on tags and labels. The process includes collaboration with Sales forming the general strategy, conducting software demos as needed, and serving as the customer-facing variable data expert. Once an opportunity has been identified that will require variable data and/or online ordering, the Data Solutions Specialist engages directly with the customer to analyze their existing business data systems and take the technical steps to map and integrate the customer's’ data into the Avery Dennison system/software. This role provides guidance and development support to our extensive customer base on world class data & order management and digital product solutions.
