Job description

No stilettos. No designer meltdowns. No one yelling for a latte.

This is online retail — fast-paced, detail-obsessed, data-fuelled, and always on the move.

At MyRunway, you don’t watch from the sidelines. You’ll be part of the action — helping to launch products, manage live offers, and keep the customer experience sharp from the backend. You'll learn how a real ecommerce business works — and how your work directly affects what sells.

What You’ll Be Doing :

• Uploading products and offers — fast and flawless
• Sourcing images, writing copy, and double-checking every detail
• Spotting and fixing listing glitches before anyone notices
• Managing stock sheets like a pro
• Chatting with suppliers to keep everything on track
• Teaming up with Supply, Marketing, and Warehouse squads
• Keeping the site sharp, shoppable, and smooth
• Crushing the admin that keeps ecommerce ticking

What You’ll Learn :

• How an online store actually runs behind the scenes
• What goes into launching a product from supplier to site
• How data, pricing, stock and content impact what sells
• Why attention to detail and speed matter in the ecommerce world

You’ll Thrive If :

• You’re detail-obsessed and enjoy the admin side of things
• You’re organised, curious, and love ticking things off
• You’re tech-comfy and not scared of spreadsheets
• You’re proactive and love figuring things out
• You’re keen to break into ecommerce and learn as much as you can

Bonus Points If :

• You’ve studied Business, Retail or something analytical
• You’ve worked in a fast-paced environment
• You’ve got a thing for systems, tools, and efficiency

This role is a real-world crash course in ecommerce.

You’ll get real exposure, real responsibility, and real insight into how an online store actually runs — and how your work makes an impact.
