    Digital Commerce Specialist

    Role Overview

    • SMD Technologies is building a suite of first-party digital platforms spanning direct-to-consumer (D2C) stores, category-led ecommerce sites, and a B2B ordering portal.
    • We’re looking for a hands-on operator who thrives on running online marketing, improving website performance, and watching the numbers move. You’ll actively manage campaigns, optimise traffic and conversion, and transform platforms into consistent sales engines.
    • You’ll coordinate internal teams and external partners to ship improvements fast, keep platforms stable, and drive commercial performance—with clear reporting into the Head of E-commerce.

    What You’ll Do

    Hands-On Online Marketing & Growth

    • Plan, launch, and optimise Google Ads campaigns (Search, Shopping, Performance Max) to drive profitable sales
    • Own Google Merchant Centre feed health—diagnostics, optimisation, and best-practice product feed structure
    • Manage GA4 and Google Tag Manager to ensure clean tracking, conversion accuracy, and actionable event data
    • Partner with Creative and Marketing to brief ads, offers, and landing pages that match intent and convert
    • Monitor performance daily and make fast, practical optimisations to improve ROI

    Sales Performance & Conversion Optimisation

    • Drive revenue, gross profit contribution, conversion rate, AOV, and repeat purchase across D2C and category sites
    • Improve the full ecommerce funnel: landing pages → product pages → onsite search → cart → checkout → post-purchase
    • Build and run a promo and trading calendar: seasonal pushes, bundles, upsells, clearance plans, and tactical offers
    • Identify growth opportunities in product mix, pricing presentation, onsite merchandising, and customer journeys

    Platform Management

    • Manage ecommerce platforms day-to-day (WooCommerce preferred; strong experience on Magento, Shopify, or similar is acceptable)
    • Keep sites fast, stable, and conversion-friendly with solid SEO hygiene and clean tracking
    • Translate commercial needs into clear developer briefs and acceptance criteria
    • Coordinate updates and launches: testing, tracking validation, and post-launch monitoring

    B2B Portal Adoption & Optimisation

    • Improve the B2B portal experience to increase adoption and reduce manual admin for sales teams

    Help shape and roll out workflows and features:

    • Personalised pricing
    • Bulk ordering
    • Stock visibility
    • Order histories & reordering
    • Role-based access
    • Credit limits (where applicable)
    • Partner with Sales and Key Account Managers to align portal priorities to real buyer needs and commercial goals

    Coordination & Delivery

    • No coding required but understanding of basic code / API usage is beneficial
    • Coordinate internal developers and external vendors—keep delivery moving
    • Support reliable integrations between sites/portals and SMD internal systems via APIs and connected services
    • Spot issues early, prioritise fixes, and remove blockers impacting sales, tracking, customer experience, or fulfilment

    Reporting & Insights

    • Own reporting across all platforms: sales, margin, traffic, channel performance, ROI, conversion, basket metrics, customer behaviour, and site health
    • Maintain dashboards and produce weekly performance updates with actions and priorities
    • Run a steady testing loop: measure → learn → improve → repeat

    Key Stakeholders

    • Marketing & Creative — Campaigns, assets, landing pages, content
    • Product Development — Range, launches, stock priorities
    • Sales & Key Account Managers — B2B portal adoption, trade priorities
    • Customer Service — Feedback and friction points
    • Logistics & Operations — Fulfilment performance
    • Dev Team & External Vendors — Delivery and fixes

    Requirements

    Minimum Qualifications

    • 3–5+ years experience in ecommerce, digital commerce, performance marketing, or digital sales
    • Strong hands-on capability with Google Ads, GA4, Tag Manager, and Merchant Centre
    • Experience managing an ecommerce platform (WooCommerce preferred; Magento, Shopify, or similar acceptable)

    Solid understanding of ecommerce growth levers:

    • CRO fundamentals
    • SEO hygiene
    • Product merchandising
    • Feeds & tracking
    • Promotional mechanics
    • Comfortable coordinating developers and agencies without being a coder yourself
    • Strong organisational skills with a track record of owning outcomes

    Nice-to-Haves

    • Experience in consumer electronics or multi-brand retail environments
    • Exposure to wholesale buyer behaviour and trade account workflows
    • Mobile-first optimisation experience
    • Experience improving product data quality and structured merchandising at scale
    • Ready to drive digital commerce at SMD Technologies? We’d love to hear from you.
