Ecommerce Operations & Marketing Manager

Compensation: (depending on experience)
Reports to: Head of Ecommerce / Marketing Lead
Schedule: Full-Time, with overlap with U.S. EST hours

Role Overview

We are hiring an experienced Ecommerce Operations & Marketing Manager to support a portfolio of Shopify storefronts across various client and internal brands. This is an execution-first role with growing ownership, ideal for a strong ecommerce operator who understands how day-to-day actions connect directly to revenue, conversion, and store performance.
