About Our Client

Our client is looking to significantly expand and optimize its main e-commerce website to support commercial online growth. The role offers long-term growth potential, with the opportunity to contribute strategically rather than simply maintain an existing platform.

The Role: Growth-focused E-commerce Specialist

This role is focused on designing, optimizing, and scaling the company's main website. The successful candidate will lead strategic discussions, recommend growth initiatives, and execute technical and design-led projects across the platform. There may also be scope to build an internal educational portal for retail staff across multiple locations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Optimize the main website to improve user experience, functionality, and commercial performance.
  • Execute technical and design projects across WooCommerce and Elementor.
  • Work with APIs, filters, attributes, and technical infrastructure to improve platform capability.
  • Apply a strong UI/UX design eye to enhance customer journeys and site presentation.
  • Support the possible development of an internal educational portal for retail staff.
  • Operate proactively and independently, with a strong focus on long-term growth.

About You

  • Strong WooCommerce and Elementor experience is non-negotiable.
  • Proven track record of scaling e-commerce or online platforms.
  • Robust understanding of technical infrastructure, including APIs, filters, and attributes.
  • Strong UI/UX design ability.
  • Highly proactive, strategic, and commercially growth-focused.
  • Comfortable working approximately 9am–6pm UK time, with flexibility for the right candidate.
  • Able to present a practical portfolio demonstrating concrete outcomes from previous projects.
  • Note: Shopify-only candidates will not be considered.
