Job Description:

Since I, Eesaa, was 16 years old, I’ve been running my own e-commerce business, selling sporting goods and gym equipment nationwide within the UK. Despite having no prior experience, I’ve faced many challenges and obstacles, yet I’ve persevered. I’ve managed every department of this business, which has made it difficult to grow effectively and manage my education simultaneously. Currently, I physically hold the stock displayed on my website, but I’ve faced challenges in selling it to build the capital needed for growth. As a student, balancing this business and my career targets has been tough, which is why I am seeking assistance.

I am looking to create a long-term relationship with a professional business manager who understands the ecommerce industry and is ready to take initiative. The goal is to help turn this startup around and set it up for success. The initial plan is to shift from holding physical stock to a dropshipping model, utilizing this approach to make the business more effective. I need someone to set up a wholesale dropshipping store, select high-quality products, and ensure excellent shipping and customer service.

The target market is the United Kingdom, but I am open to discussing the most effective approach. I already have a marketing specialist, and as my business manager, I want you to collaborate closely with him to optimize marketing strategies. I seek someone willing to grow with the business long-term and proactively take action.

The ideal candidate should have a thorough understanding of ecommerce, especially within our industry, and be prepared to take strong initiative to help us reach a sales target of £100,000 by January 2024 (subject to discussion).

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Conduct market research to identify trends and potential products
• Develop and implement an effective dropshipping model
• Identify and select high-quality products
• Ensure timely order fulfillment and shipping
• Assist in finding a web designer
• Collaborate on marketing strategies with our marketing specialist
• Prepare financial forecasts and reports
• Optimize operational efficiencies
• Manage inventory levels
• Build relationships with suppliers and stakeholders
• Be willing to grow with the business and take proactive initiatives

Requirements:

• Experience in ecommerce business management
• Strong understanding of dropshipping and ecommerce
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Organizational and time management skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Analytical and problem-solving skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Drive

As a startup, we seek a candidate willing to work on a commission basis initially—15% of monthly revenue—until sales generate sufficient income, after which a fixed monthly fee will be discussed. We aim to establish a long-term partnership.
