Do you enjoy problem solving and working with technology and clients in a fast-paced collaborative environment? Then read on!
Powered by Retail Success, magic42 has gone from strength to strength and established itself as one of Birmingham's leading eCommerce development agencies. Don't take our word for it, check out our customer and GlassDoor reviews!
It's an exciting time for us as a business and we're growing the team, with two new eCommerce Project Manager roles up for grabs.
We're a trustworthy, collaborative team of eCommerce experts, open to new ideas and always professional, whether that's with each other or with our clients. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to build a career, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role:
The eCommerce Project Manager role is varied and diverse, so we are keeping an open mind in terms of backgrounds and level of experience. If you are a keen problem solver, can communicate complex ideas to others and have experience and/or interest in tech and eCommerce, this role might be for you.
We've been early adopters of AI technology as a business, and we need that same mindset in you. This isn't a nice-to-have, we're looking for genuine AI users with real fluency across AI tools, people who think AI as a natural part of how they work, not just someone who's dabbled.
No two days will be the same. You'll work with clients, developers, designers and other project managers to deliver exciting eCommerce projects.
There will be a high degree of autonomy in this role, so self-organisation, accuracy, attention to detail and personal admin skills are a must.
What you'll do:
- Develop and manage relationships with new and existing clients, managing a portfolio of B2C/B2B eCommerce accounts and growing them by delivering real value
- Support the delivery of end-to-end web and software projects, from requirements gathering through to launch, coordinating designers, developers, clients and finance along the way
- Translate client requirements into clear functional specifications using tools like Git and Asana, test delivered work against them, and troubleshoot when things don't go to plan
- Configure and set up eCommerce platforms, themes and third party apps and extensions, and integrate with providers such as payment gateways, ERPs and logistics systems
- Get hands on and work on platform migrations, integration data mapping etc
- Continuously identify eCommerce growth opportunities for clients, building these into a backlog of work and a development roadmap
- Support the sales process, from scoping and quotations through to proof of concepts and pitching additional work
- Support magic42's own website and marketing
- Support fellow Project Managers with writing up requirements and replicating issues
- Proactively flag any suboptimal internal processes and suggest improvements
- Provide regular business reporting and insights to your Senior Client Operations Manager and clients
- Use AI tools day to day to work smarter, from speeding up research and requirements writing to solving problems faster
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
