Brave Bison Performance & Commerce is a specialist ecommerce systems integrator, building and running commerce platforms for ambitious organisations across retail, services, B2B trade, and financial services. Our clients range from household names to fast-growing challengers, and they share one thing: complex commerce needs with real commercial stakes.

As our client base grows and the ecommerce landscape shifts faster than ever, we are creating a new strategic function at the heart of how we think, sell, and grow.

The person in this role owns the problem. Before a solution is designed, before a scope is written, before a pitch is built, this person has done the hard work of understanding what a client or prospect is trying to achieve, where the real value lies, and what is genuinely getting in the way. That clarity is what makes everything else possible.

This is also a highly visible role with a forward view. You will be critical in setting the strategic direction of the Commerce business. You’ll look ahead at ecommerce is going, what that means for the brands and organisations we work with, and how Brave Bison Commerce needs to be positioned to serve them well. You will bring that perspective into pitches, client conversations, and the way the management team thinks about the future.

This is not a Business Analyst role, and it is not a delivery role. Our solutions architects and BA team are responsible for the technical answer. This role is responsible for making sure we are answering the right question and preparing us and our clients for the future.
