Job description

Today our Shopify store is good. We want it to be exceptional, and we want someone whose whole job is to make it so week in, week out. We are not looking to hand this to an agency and check in quarterly. We want the capability in house: someone who lives in the store, knows every template and theme section, understands how a customer moves from first click to delivered product, and is relentlessly improving conversion, speed, merchandising and experience. This is a build and ship role, not a brief-and-wait one. We need a developer who designs, codes, tests and deploys and treats our storefront as a product they own and continually raise the bar on., You will own our Shopify storefront end to end: the design, the front-end build, the integrations, the performance and the roadmap of improvements that keep it ahead. You will work closely with our Head of AI, marketing and operations so the store reflects how the business actually runs accurate stock, honest delivery promises, and a checkout that converts.

It is a rare remit for a developer genuine ownership of a high-volume, revenue-critical store, room to set the standard rather than maintain someone else’s, and the backing of a profitable, long-established brand that is serious about its next chapter. The right person will shape not just the code, but how customers experience a 147 year old brand online.

  • Solid grasp of technical SEO and structured data for e-commerce.
  • Comfortable with version control (Git), testing and safe deployment workflows.
  • Experience integrating third-party apps and working with the Shopify Storefront and Admin APIs.
  • Self-directed you find the improvements worth making and you ship them, without waiting for a detailed brief.

  • Shopify Plus experience, including checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions.
  • Experience with a modern commerce and data stack (e.g. Klaviyo, GA4, reviews platforms, Microsoft 365 / Business Central, or similar).
