This is a highly operational role with a visible impact on sales and user experience. You will manage daily quality checks, coordinate launches and promotions, and make sure all pages go live on time and to the highest standard.
It’s a great opportunity to immerse yourself in a full eCommerce ecosystem, work with a wide product catalog, and gain exposure to high-profile campaigns such as Black Friday.
