Inspired by the great outdoors, we create timeless, sustainable apparel and leather goods designed for comfort and everyday adventure. At Roots, we believe in fostering a culture of inclusivity, creativity, and teamwork – where every team member plays a role in shaping our brand’s legacy.

If you bring passion to everything you do, lead with integrity, and believe in the power of collaboration to drive growth, we’d love to have you on our journey!

You’ll play a key analytical role behind Roots' digital business — turning ecommerce data into the insights that drive strategy, sharpen investment decisions, and support growth online.

Sitting at the intersection of Ecommerce, Marketing, and Analytics, you’ll own the reporting rhythms, build the forecasts, and surface the opportunities that keep Roots' digital channel moving forward.

This is a high-visibility role for someone who is commercially sharp, deeply curious, and passionate about connecting data to real business outcomes.

• Define, track, and evolve the KPI framework for ecommerce — including traffic, conversion, AOV, channel mix, and customer acquisition metrics — and translate performance into clear commercial narratives.

• Monitor and interpret customer behaviour on‑site — including search performance, product page engagement, wishlist trends, and mobile vs. desktop patterns — to surface assortment and experience insights.
• Support the A/B testing and experimentation program — helping teams design tests, measure results rigorously, and build a culture of evidence-based iteration.
• Answer the hard business questions through ad‑hoc analysis — whether it’s diagnosing a conversion drop, sizing a new market opportunity, or understanding the true ROI of a promotional event.
• Build and maintain Power BI dashboards that give the Ecom and Marketing teams self‑serve visibility into their most important KPIs — without needing to pull a report themselves.
• Leverage AI and analytics tools to improve the speed, accuracy, and depth of insight generation — and bring a forward‑looking perspective on where automation and machine learning can strengthen our ecommerce analytics capability.
