Job description
- Hybrid working
- Career progression paths
It's an exciting time for us as a business and we're growing the team, with two new eCommerce Project Manager roles up for grabs.
We're a trustworthy, collaborative team of eCommerce experts, open to new ideas and always professional, whether that's with each other or with our clients. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to build a career, we'd love to hear from you.
The eCommerce Project Manager role is varied and diverse, so we are keeping an open mind in terms of backgrounds and level of experience. If you are a keen problem solver, can communicate complex ideas to others and have experience and/or interest in tech and eCommerce, this role might be for you.
We've been early adopters of AI technology as a business, and we need that same mindset in you. This isn't a nice-to-have, we're looking for genuine AI users with real fluency across AI tools, people who think AI as a natural part of how they work, not just someone who's dabbled.
No two days will be the same. You'll work with clients, developers, designers and other project managers to deliver exciting eCommerce projects.
There will be a high degree of autonomy in this role, so self-organisation, accuracy, attention to detail and personal admin skills are a must.
