Job description

Own the merchandising, pricing/promo and localization strategy across all 10 D2C storefronts, in both English and Arabic. You decide what goes live and why; the Ecom Executive builds and publishes against your strategy and brief. This is a strategic, bilingual role at the center of how the brand shows up commercially across five GCC markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the CMS, campaign-page, offer-page and homepage merchandising strategy across all 10 storefronts (EN & AR)
• Set catalog, pricing and promotional strategy end-to-end, in both languages
• Define and own the Arabic localization standard — culturally accurate adaptation, not literal translation — and QA all Arabic-language content against it
• Brief and direct the Ecom Executive's build queue and priorities for page updates
• Monitor Arabic vs. English storefront conversion and AOV performance, and adjust strategy to close gaps
• Review Arabic social and marketing content for tone and cultural accuracy before publishing
• Partner with the Senior Ecommerce Manager on category-level pricing and the promotional calendar
• Coordinate with Performance Marketing and the CRM Senior Specialist to align offers across paid, lifecycle and on-site channels
• Brief the design agency / graphic designer on merchandising and campaign creative — banners, promo pages and storefront visuals — and review their output against brand theme before it goes live

Experience, Qualifications and Skills

• 5-7 years in e-commerce merchandising, trading or category management, ideally in a GCC/MENA D2C or retail environment
• Fluent in both Arabic and English (native or near-native Arabic strongly preferred, given ownership of the localization standard)
• Strong commercial instincts for pricing, promotions and catalog strategy in a fast-moving retail calendar
• Experience working with e-commerce CMS platforms (e.g.Magento)
• Comfortable reading storefront performance data (conversion, AOV) to guide strategy
• Strong briefing and stakeholder management skills — this role directs another team member's execution queue day to day
• High attention to detail, particularly around localization quality and cultural nuance
