THE ROLE

We are looking for a commercially driven International eCommerce Manager to lead the growth and optimisation of our international eCommerce websites across key markets including the US, Germany and Spain.

Working closely with marketing, creative, operations and retention teams, you’ll lead the delivery of best‑in‑class customer journeys that balance brand storytelling with commercial performance. This is an exciting opportunity to take on significant ownership and strategic responsibility within a fast‑paced, high‑growth brand, with clear progression towards building and leading your own international team.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Own the day‑to‑day management and optimisation of international eCommerce activity across US, DE and ES markets
• Monitor website performance and key trading metrics including conversion rate, AOV, revenue growth, retention and market performance
• Lead the planning and execution of international trading calendars, campaigns, and product launches

• Own and drive testing initiatives across onsite experience, merchandising and conversion optimisation

• Strong understanding of eCommerce KPIs including conversion rate, AOV, retention, LTV and revenue performance
