<p><span data-contrast="auto">The <strong>Senior Ecommerce Manager</strong> is a blended leadership role, combining trading expertise with marketing channel strategy to drive holistic ecommerce performance across a client account or vertical. You will be the primary commercial and strategic owner for your accounts – taking full accountability for both site trading performance and the quality of marketing execution across all digital channels.</span> <span data-contrast="auto">You'll define what success looks like for your accounts, build the plans to get there, and lead your team through delivery. You'll own the performance and strategic narrative, drive trading and marketing strategy, and bring the commercial judgement to know when to hold course and when to change it - while staying close enough to execution to maintain standards and momentum.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":80,"335559739":80}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Acting as the bridge between the Ecommerce Manager layer and the Head of Ecommerce, this is a senior individual contributor role with team management responsibilities.
