Ecommerce Growth Lead in Stretford

Position in our Manchester office. At Prospa, we’ve spent the last five years developing a high-performing team of e-commerce experts. With 40+ DTC brands in our client base, our mission is to drive growth and profitability for 7‑figure and 8‑figure e-commerce brands through creative, profit‑focused marketing.

Why Prospa? We’ve built three core fulfilment teams; Paid Social, Paid Search, and Retention to drive growth from every angle. Ecommerce strategy is now central to how we approach brand growth, and this role sits at the heart of that mission. As a Growth Strategist, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our agency. You’ll help establish the ecommerce strategy function, develop high‑performing processes, and support our brands with top level strategy.

We offer hybrid working (2 days from home), a vibrant office culture, and regular team events. Training and development are central to who we are and we invest heavily in structured programmes designed to support your growth.

We’re looking for an A‑player who’s ready to take ownership of our strategic output, push performance forward, and work closely with our leadership team to shape the direction of our capabilities.
