Job description

We are recruiting for a growing eCommerce business looking to add a smart, commercially minded and naturally curious person to its commercial team.

This is an unusual opportunity and deliberately a broad one.

Rather than sitting within one specific area, you'll get exposure across eCommerce, pricing, product, suppliers, sales, marketing, data and wider commercial projects.

The Commercial Director described the role as a bit of a “Swiss Army knife” – someone who enjoys getting involved in different challenges, figuring things out and finding better ways of doing things.

What you'll be doing

Depending on the project, you could be:

• Analysing sales, product, pricing or supplier data to identify opportunities.
• Supporting eCommerce and website-related projects.
• Getting involved in pricing, product and content initiatives.
• Supporting sales and marketing activity, including campaigns, events and trade shows.
• Working with suppliers and internal teams on different commercial projects.
• Looking at existing processes and finding smarter or more efficient ways of doing things.
• Using Excel, AI and other technology to analyse information, automate repetitive work or solve commercial problems.
• Taking ownership of projects and seeing them through from idea to delivery.

Who we’re looking for

Your exact background isn’t particularly important.

You could currently be working in commercial, eCommerce, sales, marketing, operations, analytics, category/product or another related area.

What is more important is how you think.

You’ll ideally be someone who:

• Is commercially minded and interested in how businesses make money and grow.
• Enjoys solving problems rather than simply following a process.
• Is naturally curious and comfortable asking, “Could we do this better?”
• Is confident working with numbers and interpreting data.
• Can manage several different projects and priorities.
• Takes initiative and is comfortable figuring things out independently.
• Has a genuine interest in technology and how it can improve the way businesses operate.
• Communicates well and is comfortable working with different people across a business.

An interest in AI is important

You do not need to be a developer, coder or AI expert.

We’re much more interested in someone who is already curious about tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, automation, Excel, APIs or similar technologies and enjoys experimenting with how they can solve everyday business problems.

Perhaps you’ve used AI to analyse information, automate a repetitive task, improve a spreadsheet, generate some basic code or simply find a quicker way of getting something done.

That curiosity is exactly what we’re looking for.

Why consider it?

You’ll work closely with an experienced Commercial Director and gain exposure to multiple areas of a successful eCommerce business.

There isn’t a rigid career path attached to the role. Instead, the intention is that as you develop, you’ll take on greater ownership and responsibility.

Over time, that could mean taking responsibility for areas such as pricing, product/content, marketing, eCommerce or wider commercial projects.

For someone ambitious, commercially curious and interested in how technology is changing the way businesses operate, there is plenty of room to make the role your own.
