Job description

We're hiring a Head of eCommerce (permanent) to own and scale the digital trading performance across two premium brands within a PE-backed group. This is a rare chance to step into a role with real autonomy, visibility, and the backing to invest as growth accelerates.

To protect confidentiality, the brand details are intentionally high-level.

The opportunity

You'll lead eCommerce for two different propositions:

  • Brand A: A premium product-led business with a loyal customer base and significant headroom for digital growth
  • Brand B: A high-end, niche label with a smaller online footprint today and clear potential to expand through sharper trading and customer experience

Both are on a shared tech direction (Shopify) and benefit from central support across key technical/managed service elements - allowing you to focus on what matters most: commercial performance, conversion, and growth.

What you'll be doing

  • Own end-to-end eCommerce trading across both sites
  • Drive revenue through merchandising, CRO, on-site journey optimisation, and insight-led iteration
  • Build and own performance reporting (KPIs, dashboards, trading packs) and confidently present to senior stakeholders
  • Partner with acquisition/performance marketing to improve traffic quality, conversion and customer value
  • Shape the roadmap and prioritise initiatives with a clear commercial lens
  • Influence team build as results land - the business is ready to invest once traction is proven

Requirements

  • Strong eCommerce trading leadership (Head of / Senior eCom Manager level)
  • Commercially sharp and data-led - able to turn performance insight into action fast
  • Experience operating in a premium/luxury or high-AOV environment (or adjacent), with strong customer/brand sensibility
  • Comfortable in lean setups: hands-on execution + stakeholder management
  • Bonus if you've supported a business through a meaningful growth phase (scale, complexity, revenue trajectory)
