Head of E-commerce and Digital
Factra Ltd | Manchester (fully office based) | Full time | £50,000
About us
Factra is a UK manufacturer with a growing portfolio of direct-to-consumer brands across health supplements, wellness, and adult consumer products. We operate multiple e-commerce websites alongside Amazon and TikTok Shop, and we manufacture in-house rather than reselling. We have an established in-house team covering development, design, SEO, and content, supported by a remote specialist team.
We are now investing significantly in our direct-to-consumer operation and are creating a new senior role to lead it.
The role
You will own online revenue across our brand websites and marketplaces. This is a commercial leadership position, not a channel specialist role. You will set the trading strategy, decide where investment goes, build out the team, and be accountable for growth and profitability.
You will report directly to the Managing Director and will have the autonomy to shape the function from the ground up, including recruiting the specialists you need.
What you will be responsible for
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
