E-commerce Strategist

Days tend to mix conversion analysis, merchandising calls, promotional planning, and reviewing the next platform release. You might rebuild a category page's funnel Monday, debate a homepage carousel with creative Tuesday, and present a Q3 plan to leadership Friday. The work tends to live in Shopify or commerce-platform dashboards, GA4, and inventory systems.

The harder part is often how many functions touch the same outcome. Merch wants new SKUs, marketing wants traffic, finance wants margin, ops wants fulfillment ease — your job tends to be brokering tradeoffs that no single team would make on their own. Variance across employers is real — DTC brands run lean and fast; enterprise retailers add layers of approval and competing P&Ls.

People who tend to thrive here are commercially curious, comfortable with data, and patient at the table when functions disagree. They tend to enjoy the directness of e-commerce — you can see a decision land in the numbers within hours. The trade-off can be the always-on nature of digital sales — peaks like Black Friday tend to compress weeks of work into days.
