Job description

Contract role - Ecommerce Trading Manager - 6 month contract - £#removed# per day (Outside IR35)

• Are you a Shopify expert, who is as comfortable talking strategy as you are being hands on creating promotions?
• Are you commercially driven, data-obsessed Ecommerce Manager?
• Available immediately and keen to jump straight in ahead of Black Friday?

We are looking for an experienced Ecommerce Trading Manager to take the reins of a beauty brand's commercial channels — Shopify, Amazon and TikTok Shop — and play a pivotal role in driving digital growth.

The Role

This is far more than "website management” - you will own the Shopify platform end-to-end while driving the commercial performance of the wider ecommerce estate — from promotional campaigns and product launches to SEO, UX and platform functionality. You'll use data and instinct in equal measure to spot opportunities across every customer touchpoint, working closely with Marketing, Product, Creative, Operations and Customer Service to keep the channels moving at the pace the business does.

About the Role:

• Taking full day-to-day ownership of Shopify — products, collections, navigation, templates, pricing and promotional mechanics
• Building and merchandising landing, collection and product pages to support campaigns and launches
• Managing the Shopify app ecosystem and troubleshooting issues, briefing developers where needed
• Understanding Liquid, HTML and CSS fundamentals well enough to make minor fixes and brief bigger builds
• Owning integrations between Shopify and third-party platforms, keeping product, inventory and customer data flowing correctly
• Driving the ecommerce trading plan — promotions, launches, pricing and seasonal moments — and reporting on revenue, conversion, AOV and traffic
• Taking ownership of marketplace growth across Amazon and TikTok Shop: listings, content, catalogue health, pricing and promotional activity
• Using data and customer insight to keep recommending what's next

About You:

• Proven experience managing and developing a Shopify site in a fast-paced ecommerce environment
• Ideally some marketplace experience — Amazon and/or TikTok Shop
• A commercial, customer-first mindset backed up by genuine technical Shopify know-how
• Confident owning digital trading and platform development end‑to‑end, not just executing someone else's plan
• Proactive and curious, always looking for the next opportunity to improve performance
• Beauty, cosmetics or wider FMCG experience is a strong plus
• Available immediately to start, and willing to do 1-2 days a week in Liverpool
