We are exclusively partnering with an exciting, high-growth consumer brand to appoint a Global Ecommerce Director at a pivotal stage of its growth journey.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious ecommerce leader who thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and has a proven track record of scaling DTC brands through Shopify. You'll play a critical role in shaping the next phase of international growth, driving digital innovation and building a world-class ecommerce function.

Shopify sits at the heart of the ecommerce ecosystem, and we're looking for a leader who understands how to maximise its capabilities, challenge convention and continually evolve the digital experience.
