Ecommerce Executive
Location: Hybrid (3 days in-office, North of Cambridge)

We're excited to be partnering exclusively with a well-established distributor of premium home and kitchen brands to recruit an Ecommerce Executive.

With over 40 years of success in the UK, this business represents a carefully curated portfolio of design-led, premium consumer brands, sold through national retailers, independent stores, and their own growing direct-to-consumer ecommerce platforms.

This role is ideal for a junior digital marketer, ecommerce assistant, or Shopify entrepreneur looking to build hands-on commercial experience in a supportive, fast-growing environment.

If you enjoy optimising online stores, analysing performance, and driving ecommerce growth, this is a fantastic opportunity to accelerate your career.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting the planning and execution of ecommerce trading strategies across Shopify stores and digital channels
• Monitoring and analysing key performance metrics (conversion rate, traffic, AOV) to identify growth opportunities
• Managing product uploads, site merchandising, and on-site content updates to ensure a high-performing customer journey
• Assisting with promotional campaigns and maintaining the digital trading calendar
• Collaborating with marketing to improve content and support conversion rate optimisation (CRO)
• Tracking product performance and supporting stock planning to maximise availability of bestsellers
• Working cross-functionally with operations and customer service to ensure a seamless customer experience

What we're looking for

• 1-3 years' experience in ecommerce, digital marketing, Shopify, or a similar CMS
  OR hands-on experience running your own Shopify store or online brand
• Experience or exposure to managing a website and confidence navigating a CMS (ideally Shopify)
• A good understanding of what makes one website perform better than another (e.g. user journey, product visibility, conversion drivers)
• A strong interest in ecommerce trading, with a particular focus on site merchandising as a key growth lever
• Basic familiarity with tools like Google Analytics to interpret performance data
• Some knowledge of SEO is beneficial, but not essential given the support structure within the team
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and proactive
• A collaborative mindset and eagerness to learn and develop

Why apply?

• Work with premium, design-led lifestyle brands
• Gain hands-on experience in Shopify and ecommerce trading
• Build valuable commercial and analytical skills early in your career
• Join a supportive, collaborative marketing team where your ideas matter
• Benefit from a strong package including:
• Contributory pension
• Staff discounts

With industry-leading uncapped profit share scheme, contributory pension, death in service cover, 25 days' annual leave and staff discounts, there is no better time to join this fast growing and very successful organisation.
