• Implement approved designs within the Shopify theme.

Ongoing Ecommerce Management

• Monitor site performance, search terms, broken links, and opportunities for improvement.
• Manage basic on-page SEO, including meta titles, descriptions, alt text, and URL structure.
• Continuously look for ways to improve the customer shopping experience.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of hands-on Shopify experience, including at least one full Shopify store build.
• Experience managing large catalogues with 1,000+ SKUs.
• Strong experience with complex product variants, collections, filters, and catalogue structures.
• Strong CSV and bulk product data management skills.
• Matrixify experience is highly regarded.
• Working knowledge of Shopify 2.0 themes, sections, and metafields.
• Basic Liquid and CSS knowledge.
• Strong ecommerce thinking, with the ability to structure products based on how customers actually shop.
