About Xigen
Xigen is an award-winning UK eCommerce agency with over two decades of experience under its belt in creating high performance websites for a diverse client base of well-known global brands, multinational blue‑chips, enterprise and SMB clients across multiple sectors.
Who We Are
When it comes to us as individuals our moto, 'normal gets you nowhere', is particularly resonant. Our in‑house, multi‑functional teams are made up of creative and technical minds, people who love what they do and can apply their skill and work their craft with imagination and intuition.
Xigen people are a diverse bunch, whether it's channelling their inner nerd, showing off a flare for design or displaying high organisational skills, all working together in the creation, development and support of high‑performance eCommerce websites that enable our clients' businesses to thrive.
Our work
The work we do varies quite a lot in type and scope. Here are just three examples to give you an idea:
Optimising website performance, back and frontend, for clients such as media and entertainment motion capture specialist, Vicon, with conversion rate optimisation testing that has increased audience engagement
Helping niche retailers grow their eCommerce, as with Jacksons Art Supplies, creating new eCommerce capability and implementing design transformation which has seen a significant up‑tick in their business
Delivering major projects, such as a large‑scale migration project for Epson Europe, including 15,000 pages being moved to their new website
For more about our work see Xigen Case Studies.

Proven experience delivering successful SEO strategies within a digital agency environment.
Strong technical SEO knowledge, with hands‑on experience across multiple CMS and eCommerce platforms.
Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple clients and priorities effectively.

What We Offer
We are committed to creating a positive environment for all our people. You’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed. Here’s a snapshot of the benefits:
The money – We are offering a salary of between £35,000 – £40,000 for the right candidate.
32 days holiday (including public holidays and a Christmas shutdown) – for time to properly unwind and recharge your batteries.
Your birthday off – this is in addition to regular holiday time. Nobody should have to work on your birthday, right?
Flexible working hours – our core hours are 10am‑12pm & 2pm‑4pm, but other than that you can work when you want. It’s your call.
Hybrid working options – choose where you work, at the studio or remotely, or any combination to suit you.
Professional development days – keep on top of your professional game with extra time, on us, to hone your skills and acquire new ones.
Hot and cold drinks, plenty of fresh fruit and cakes available at the studio – a combination of healthy snacks and sweet treats to help keep you energised.
Annual KPI bonus
We give everyone a generous quarterly performance-based bonus that rewards success.
Wellbeing
We're not nosey, but we do care. We take mental health seriously. That's why we have trained mental health first-aiders on hand to listen and support anyone who needs to talk about how they feel, about work, in their lives more generally, or about anything that’s causing worry or anxiety—we know the positive impact that talking about how we feel has on our mental wellbeing.
