Roles we hire for e-commerce

From acquisition to retention, we find operators who can scale profitable growth.

Common hiring challenges

High spend creates pressure. You need people who can scale profitably and protect the economics.

Margin pressure is real. Every hire needs to improve efficiency as well as growth.

Constant testing demands talent that can execute. You need people who have done it, not learners.

The competition for proven e-commerce talent is fierce.

What we evaluate in e-commerce candidates

E-commerce moves fast. We screen for operators who have felt that pressure before.

Channel P&L ownership

Have they owned a paid media budget and reported on ROAS, CPA, and contribution margin? We test with real numbers from their last role.

Creative and conversion

E-commerce growth lives at the intersection of creative and landing page. We assess whether they can move both.

Seasonality planning

Black Friday, Prime Day, Q1 hangover. We look for people who have planned and executed through seasonal peaks and troughs.

Retention and LTV

Repeat purchase rate, email flows, loyalty programs. We screen for candidates who think past the first order.

Platform fluency

Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom. We match candidates to your stack and evaluate whether they have scaled on it.

Supply chain awareness

The best e-commerce operators understand margin, inventory, and fulfillment. We ask about cross-functional work with ops teams.
