This role goes beyond traditional web development. We are looking for someone who can combine strong Shopify development expertise with commercial awareness and a clear understanding of the online customer journey.

Working closely with the Head of Ecommerce, you will help transform commercial ideas and objectives into effective, high-performing ecommerce solutions.

The focus will be on creating websites that provide an excellent customer experience while supporting conversion and wider commercial performance.

• Take ownership of results and see projects through to completion.

• Develop and launch new Shopify websites for other businesses and brands within the wider group.
• Help shape and manage the technical roadmap for ecommerce platforms, identifying opportunities for continuous improvement and future growth.
• Identify and recommend ways to improve website usability, performance and the overall online customer journey.
• Collaborate with marketing, ecommerce and other key stakeholders to turn commercial requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Maintain secure, reliable and high-performing websites in line with recognised Shopify best practice.
• Create and adapt Shopify themes, sections, applications and integrations in response to business requirements.
• Investigate and resolve technical issues efficiently, while proactively identifying potential problems before they affect the business.
• Make effective use of AI-assisted development tools to support faster delivery and high-quality development standards.
• Previous experience creating, developing and maintaining Shopify stores.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues.
• Confident communication skills, with the ability to make technical information clear and accessible to non-technical colleagues.
• The ability to work independently, organise workload effectively and balance priorities across multiple websites.
• A bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline would be advantageous but is not essential.
• A genuine interest in ecommerce, digital retail and online customer behaviour.
• Knowledge of conversion rate optimisation (CRO) and ecommerce user experience principles.
• Experience using analytics and customer behaviour data to identify and recommend website improvements.
• Experience connecting Shopify with third‑party platforms, such as ERP, CRM, payment and fulfilment systems.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development processes and contemporary development tools.
