Job Title: E-commerce Manager

Location: Leicestershire (Hybrid/Flexible)

Company: YOU

Type: Full-Time

We’re launching our first digital very soon and we’re looking for someone to bring it to life - building from where we are now and owneing for the future

The Role:

This is not a plug-and-play role. It’s a unique opportunity to architect and run the entire digital engine behind a premium lifestyle brand. You’ll be our first hire in this space - responsible for building and managing every aspect of our e-commerce system. From barcodes to Shopify themes, this is your domain.

What You’ll Do:

E-commerce Architecture: Lead the full build and launch of our Shopify platform, including system setup, back-end integrations, payment gateways, and domain mapping.

Foundational Operations: Implement and manage barcode/SKU systems, custom URLs, product data flows, and digital infrastructure to support scalable operations.

Solo Execution: Be hands-on across all areas - there’s no internal IT team yet. You’ll manage this end-to-end, from site logic and structure to UX refinements and third-party app integrations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, marketing, and logistics teams to ensure digital processes align with brand flow and customer experience.

Digital Analytics & Optimisation: Set up reporting dashboards and performance metrics to inform business decisions.

Ongoing Innovation: As the brand grows, evolve the digital stack to support new channels, features, or global expansion.

Who You Are:

You’ve built Shopify sites from scratch - not just managed them.

You understand e-commerce logic and infrastructure, from warehouse systems to product tagging and inventory sync.

You’re comfortable working solo, but collaborative with creative and brand-minded teams.

You enjoy refining user journeys, even if you're also linking barcodes at 10pm.

You value simplicity, clarity, and beautiful functionality.

Skills & Experience:

3+ years in a hands-on e-commerce/IT role (start-up or lifestyle brand experience is a bonus)

Deep knowledge of Shopify (theme development, app integrations, system architecture)

Familiarity with tools like Shopify Flow, Google Analytics, Klaviyo, and third-party apps

Competence in IT basics (APIs, hosting, security, UX, DNS)

Detail-oriented and self-directed - someone who thrives with trust and ownership

What We Offer:

A clean slate - build something meaningful from the ground up

Flexible work environment with autonomy and creative input

Competitive salary (commensurate with experience)

The chance to be part of a thoughtful, design-led brand on the cusp of launch
