About you

You are a commercially minded ecommerce professional who understands that successful online retail requires more than maintaining a website or running marketing campaigns.

You are comfortable taking responsibility for revenue performance, making trading decisions and responding quickly when results are below expectations. You can combine data analysis with strong product judgment and customer understanding.

You should have a strong knowledge of knitting, yarn or the wider craft market and be able to understand why customers choose particular yarns, colourways, patterns and projects.

• Professional experience in ecommerce, online trading or digital merchandising.
• Experience working with Shopify or a comparable ecommerce platform.
• Experience owning or contributing directly to monthly revenue targets.
• Experience planning and executing product launches and commercial campaigns.
• Strong analytical skills and confidence interpreting ecommerce performance data.
• Understanding of conversion rate, average order value, customer retention and revenue forecasting.
• Ability to identify commercially viable product and campaign opportunities.
• Strong organisational and project-management skills.
• Ability to work independently and make practical decisions quickly.
• Clear communication and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Experience working in a fast-paced working environment.

Desirable experience

• Knowledge of knitting, yarn and knitting-customer behaviour.
• Experience working in textile, fashion or premium consumer brand.
• Experience using Klaviyo or another email and CRM platform.
• Experience coordinating paid social or performance-marketing activity.
• Experience developing product bundles, kits or seasonal collections.
• Experience with customer segmentation, retention and reactivation campaigns.

The person we are looking for

This role would suit someone who is:

• Commercially ambitious and motivated by measurable results.
• Hands-on rather than purely strategic.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving small-business environment.
• Proactive and able to identify opportunities without waiting for detailed instructions.
• Confident challenging assumptions and recommending changes.
• Highly familiar with knitting customers and the yarn market.
• Able to balance creativity, brand positioning, margin and revenue performance.
