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 E-commerce 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 e-commerce growth, this is a fantastic opportunity to accelerate your career.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting the planning and execution of e-commerce 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 e-commerce, 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 in 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 e-commerce 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 e-commerce 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 an 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.
