Job description

Ecommerce Director

This Ecommerce Director role is suited to a commercially driven, data‑led e‑commerce leader with a strong background in direct‑to‑consumer retail and digital marketing. The ideal person is analytical yet creative, passionate about sport, health or active lifestyles, confident leading cross‑functional teams and motivated by creating outstanding customer experiences while scaling international e‑commerce performance.

The company is a direct‑to‑consumer retail business with a strong international footprint, headquartered in West Sussex and supported by operations in Europe and North America. It takes an engineering‑led approach to developing high‑performance products and is focused on delivering exceptional customer experiences through its digital platforms, combining innovation, quality and data‑driven decision making to serve a global customer base.

You will be joining a growing and well‑supported e‑commerce team, with continued investment in people and capability as the business scales. The company culture is collaborative and non‑hierarchical, built on values of innovation, openness to new ideas, community and continuous professional development, with training budgets and support for further qualifications available.

Role Overview

• Senior Ecommerce Director role within an international, direct‑to‑consumer business where e‑commerce is the core revenue driver.
• Responsibility for leading the UK‑based e‑commerce team while driving growth across the UK, Europe, USA and other international markets.
• A collaborative, open and supportive culture with a strong focus on innovation, community and professional development.
• Opportunity to take ownership of a high‑impact role in a fast‑growing, digitally‑led organisation.
• Manage an in‑house team across Ecommerce & Digital; currently a team of 4 with immediate plans to develop further.

Key Requirements

• Proven experience in a senior e‑commerce leadership role within retail, ideally direct‑to‑consumer or inventory‑led.
• Strong track record of delivering significant e‑commerce growth, including international expansion.
• Hands‑on experience with Shopify Plus and strong performance‑marketing expertise.
• Data‑driven mindset with experience using GA4 and a focus on optimising spend and return on investment.
• Confident people leader with the ability to mentor, develop and support a growing team.
• Willingness to be hands‑on in the first 6 to 12 months to redefine processes and drive change.
• Experience working with global teams is advantageous, with retail expertise valued over product‑specific knowledge.
• Open to candidates stepping up from Head of Ecommerce or Head of Digital roles.

We look forward to hearing from the best e‑commerce professionals in the local area as well as anyone looking to relocate to the South Coast.
