Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the ecommerce strategy and roadmap, aligning site, tech stack, and digital experience to annual revenue, margin, and growth targets.
  • Lead ecommerce forecasting, budgeting, and monthly/quarterly business reviews; translate performance into clear recommendations for leadership.
  • Define and track target KPIs (traffic, conversion, AOV, UPT, CAC/LTV, contribution margin) and ensure the team and partners are focused on the highest‑impact initiatives.
  • Manage, coach, and develop the Ecommerce Manager (and any future coordinator/junior roles), providing clear goals, feedback, and growth paths in line with HR and leadership SOPs.
  • Partner with HR to align the role and team structure to the broader org design, define interview panels, and participate as hiring manager for all ecommerce roles.
  • Build a high‑performance, highly collaborative culture across internal ecommerce, marketing, CX, operations, and external agency partners.
  • Provide strategic direction for the Shopify Plus site, while the Ecommerce Manager owns day to day execution (SKU setup, merchandising, content, QA, PDP hygiene).
  • Set standards for onsite experience (navigation, collections, search, PDPs, size guides, content modules, upsell/cross‑sell) and approve major updates and new templates.
  • Oversee the ecommerce launch calendar and ensure alignment with marketing, operations, and CX so that inventory, messaging, and site builds are coordinated.
  • Serve as primary owner of the external development agency relationship: set scope, prioritize backlogs, approve SOWs, and ensure delivery against timelines and KPIs.
  • Translate business goals into clear technical requirements for the dev agency and internal stakeholders (ie new features, performance optimizations, integrations).
  • Own the ecommerce tech stack strategy (Shopify Plus, apps, integrations, analytics, experimentation, loyalty, subscriptions), ensuring scalability, stability, and a manageable backend for the internal team.
  • Own alternative ecommerce/social commerce channels like TikTok Shop.
  • Own major ecommerce development initiatives end-to-end, including full website rebuilds, replatforming efforts, and the development and integration of new digital experiences such as mobile apps, custom loyalty or membership programs, and third-party platforms.
  • Partner with marketing to align paid media, email/SMS, SEO/GEO, and onsite experience, ensuring cohesive campaigns and measurable impact on revenue.
  • Lead experimentation and CRO strategy (A/B tests on landing pages, PDPs, checkout, merchandising, promos), with the Ecommerce Manager executing and reporting tests.
  • Own ecommerce analytics: define the reporting framework, ensure accurate tracking (GA / analytics stack), and manage up and out by providing insights to leadership and cross‑functional teams.
  • Partner with customer service to monitor customer feedback, identify friction points, and prioritize fixes and enhancements across the funnel.
  • Stay current on competitive landscape, ecommerce best practices, and Shopify ecosystem developments; proactively identify opportunities for innovation.
  • Ensure the site is continuously tested and optimized across devices and customer segments, with accessibility and performance standards met or exceeded.

Requirements

  • 6-8+ years in ecommerce, with meaningful experience leading DTC ecommerce for a consumer brand; prior ownership of an ecommerce P&L strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated leadership managing both internal teams (ecomm managers/coordinators) and external agencies or development partners.
  • Deep experience with Shopify or Shopify Plus, ecommerce analytics, and core marketing channels (paid social/search, email/SMS, SEO, onsite merchandising).
  • Highly analytical and data driven with strong commercial acumen; comfortable building forecasts, business cases, and performance readouts for executives.
  • Strong cross‑functional communication skills and ability to influence at the leadership level while still rolling up sleeves in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.
  • Experience in fashion, beauty, or lifestyle DTC is a plus.
