What is an Overnight Catalog Writer?

An Overnight Catalog Writer is a professional responsible for creating and updating product descriptions, listings, and other content for catalogs during overnight shifts. This role ensures that product information is accurate, engaging, and up-to-date for e-commerce platforms or print catalogs. Working overnight allows companies to refresh their online or printed materials in time for the next business day, often accommodating global time zones. The position typically requires strong writing skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently on tight deadlines.

What are some typical challenges faced by an Overnight Catalog Writer, and how can they be managed?

Overnight Catalog Writers often work independently during late hours, which can pose challenges such as maintaining consistent productivity, staying motivated, and ensuring accuracy without immediate team support. To manage these challenges, it is helpful to establish a structured routine, use productivity tools to track progress, and communicate regularly with daytime team members through scheduled updates or messaging platforms. Additionally, developing strong self-editing skills and keeping reference materials handy can help maintain high-quality work even when working solo.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Overnight Catalog Writer, and why are they important?

To succeed as an Overnight Catalog Writer, you need strong writing, editing, and research skills, usually supported by a degree in English, journalism, or a related field. Familiarity with content management systems (CMS), Microsoft Office Suite, and basic SEO principles is typically required. Attention to detail, time management, and the ability to work independently during overnight hours are crucial soft skills. These competencies ensure accurate, engaging product descriptions are delivered on tight deadlines, maintaining catalog quality and supporting sales operations.

Job description

Description

The Central Garden & Pet eCommerce business accounts for a meaningful (and growing!) part of the total Central business! We are actively seeking a Digital Shelf Operations Specialist, to support accurate execution across priority eCommerce channels, with primary focus on Amazon and Chewy. This role is the execution control point for item setup, retailer portal workflows, catalog health, launch readiness, approved pricing updates, and issue documentation.   
 
This crucial role helps ensure approved products are set up correctly, live, accurate, searchable, and buyable for the consumer. Success requires strong attention to detail, comfort working across systems, and the ability to coordinate clearly with Sales, BU eCommerce, Product Information Management, Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, and retailer contacts. 
 
This is an execution-focused role. The Specialist does not own commercial strategy, assortment strategy, content strategy, pricing decisions, or retailer negotiations. The role ensures approved decisions are submitted, tracked, validated, and escalated when execution is at risk.  By ensuring consistent digital shelf execution, this role reduces operational risk and enables sales teams to focus on growth rather than issue resolution. This position is based from our Schaumburg, IL office and will report to the Director(s) of Pet eCommerce Sales. We operate in a hybrid work environment that balances in-person collaboration with workplace flexibility. Employees are currently expected to work from the office at least three (3) days per week. Beginning in September 2026, our hybrid model will transition to four (4) in-office days per week to support greater collaboration, learning, and team connection.
 
What You Will Do:
  • Execute approved new item setup, catalog maintenance, and product update workflows across assigned retailer systems and portals.
  • Maintain launch readiness trackers for approved eCommerce launches, including setup status, missing inputs, blockers, owner, next step, and target go-live date.
  • Monitor priority items for live status, buyability, suppression, missing content, image defects, variation issues, pricing display errors, and availability issues.
  • Work in Salsify and retailer templates to support product data readiness, missing attribute follow-up, and approved content or attribute submissions.
  • Create, submit, track, and close retailer portal cases with complete documentation and clear issue history.
  • Execute approved cost and pricing updates in assigned systems, then validate accuracy after implementation.
  • Support chargeback, deduction, and compliance issue documentation by gathering evidence, tracking root causes, and partnering with Sales and Finance on resolution. 
What Success Looks Like: 
  • Priority products are live, accurate, searchable, and buyable by target launch dates.
  • Catalog and portal issues are visible, aged, assigned to owners, and escalated before they become avoidable revenue problems.
  • Approved pricing and catalog updates are implemented accurately and documented.
  • BDMs spend less time chasing item setup, portal cases, catalog defects, and chargeback documentation.
 
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION 
  • 2 to 4 years of experience in eCommerce operations, sales operations, catalog management, customer operations, item setup, or channel support.
  • Hands-on experience with Amazon Vendor Central, Chewy vendor workflows, retailer portals, or similar customer systems.
  • Experience managing item setup templates, catalog updates, product data workflows, or retailer case management.
  • Working knowledge of product content, images, attributes, taxonomy, item dimensions, GTIN/UPC, and retailer requirements.
  • Strong Excel or spreadsheet capability for trackers, issue logs, validation checks, and basic reporting.
  • Strong follow-through, attention to detail, and written communication.
 
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Experience with Salsify or another Product Information Management platform.
  • Experience with Amazon Seller Central, Walmart Marketplace, Target Plus, Home Depot, Lowe's, Tractor Supply, Costco.com, or other retailer portals.
  • Experience supporting eCommerce new item launches, digital shelf monitoring, chargeback research, or catalog health reporting.
  • Pet, consumer products, consumables, durables, or regulated category experience.
 
WORKING CONDITIONS 
Comfortable, corporate office environment; frequent use of phone and PC; required overnight business travel approximately 5-15% depending on customer meetings, training, launch needs, and business priorities. 
 
POSITION INFORMATION   
This position pays $62,000-$67,000 per year depending on experience and the geographic location of metro Chicago, IL.
 
BENEFITS PACKAGE & EMPLOYEE PROGRAMS 
  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Free Life and Disability Insurance
  • Health and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts
  • 401k with 3% company match 
  • Paid vacation, holidays and sick time
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Access to thousands of free online courses
  • Discounts on cell phones, movie tickets, gym memberships, and more!
  • Education Assistance (both college degrees and professional certifications)
  • Referral Program with cash bonus
  • Access to on-demand pay
