We are looking for a highly organized, hands-on Head of E-commerce Operations to take ownership of how e-commerce projects move from idea to live execution.
This is not a management-only role
, but it is also not a landing page builder, UX designer or developer role
.
We already have a dedicated UX designer and developer who handle landing pages, PDPs and larger technical work.
Your responsibility is to make sure the entire execution process moves quickly, while personally owning the Shopify backend and operational side of the business
.
You will manage people and projects, but you will also spend a significant amount of time executing things yourself inside Shopify and other operational tools.
We are looking for an operator
, not someone whose job ends with delegation.
You will manage and execute projects such as:
- New landing pages and PDPs
- Product launches
- Promotions
- A/B tests
- New offers and bundles
- New market launches
- Shopify improvements
- E-commerce operational projects
Once a project is approved, you own the process from:
idea → design → development → Shopify setup → QA → launch
At any moment, you should know what is happening, who owns what, what is blocked and what needs to happen next.
If something is slipping, you catch it early and get it moving.
This Is a Hands-On RoleA major part of this position is doing operational work yourself.
You will frequently work directly inside Shopify and other tools to:
- Create products and variants
- Set up and maintain SKUs
- Configure pricing
- Create discount codes
- Build bundles and offers
- Manage product availability
- Configure Shopify Markets
- Add and maintain product costs and backend information
- Test products, storefront and checkout
- Research and configure apps
- Fix smaller operational issues
- Prepare things other team members need to continue their work
- Help unblock developers, designers and other team members
You should naturally think:
"Can I just solve this?"
before turning every small issue into another task for somebody else.
Managing UX & DevelopmentYou will work closely with our UX designer and Shopify developer.
You don't need to design landing pages yourself or be a developer, but you need enough Shopify and e-commerce knowledge to manage the process intelligently.
You should be comfortable asking:
Why is this taking this long?
What exactly is blocking this?
When will the first version be ready?
What do you need from us to finish?
Is this actually ready to launch?
How do we make this process faster next time?
Your job is not simply to track work.
Your job is to increase the team's output.
Launches, Promotions & SOPsWhen we launch a product, promotion or new market, you make sure everything is actually ready.
Products, prices, discounts, pages, translations, development, QA, tracking, links and responsibilities all need to come together.
You will also build SOPs and checklists for recurring processes such as:
- Product launches
- Landing page creation
- Promotions
- New market launches
- Shopify product setup
- QA
- Discounts and bundles
We want repeated work to become faster and more predictable instead of reinventing the process every time.
What Success Looks LikeAfter a few months:
Projects move significantly faster.
Founders no longer need to chase developers or designers.
Shopify is clean and organized.
People rarely sit blocked because they're waiting for something.
Promotions and launches happen through systems instead of last-minute chaos.
Recurring processes have clear SOPs.
Deadlines are visible and taken seriously.
And when something small needs to be done, it gets done rather than becoming another week-long project.
Who We Are Looking ForWe need someone who combines manager + operator
.
Someone who can coordinate a team in the morning and spend part of the afternoon personally fixing Shopify…
