Are you a hands-on technical leader who knows Magento and Shopify inside out, speaks fluent SEO, and keeps infrastructure secure? We are looking for someone to own our e-commerce, SEO and security ecosystem end to end.
You will be the single point of contact between our business teams and our technology partners: e-commerce development agencies, infrastructure and security providers, and several SEO contractors. You will turn business needs into clear technical requirements, hold partners accountable for quality and timelines, and keep our online stores fast, stable and secure.
This is an ownership role. You will analyze, decide and approve, escalating only the big calls.
