This Ecommerce Manager role sits at the center of a heritage home décor brand that has already reached $8.5M+ on Amazon and is now focused on building a serious DTC engine. Working closely with the CEO, you’ll operate as a true second-in-command, connecting digital growth with on-the-ground operations and ensuring both sides move in sync.
Your core responsibility is to take full ownership of the Shopify storefront and turn it into a meaningful revenue driver, scaling it from 2.5% to 20–30% of total revenue within your first year. In a lean, high-impact environment, you’ll lead external partners, optimize performance across channels, and evolve the tech stack to create a scalable, self-sustaining DTC ecosystem.
WHO THEY ARE
This heritage brand is rooted in craftsmanship, quality, and timeless design. Originally a wholesale manufacturer for high-end U.S. retailers, the company evolved into a digital-first brand with strong unit economics. While Amazon currently accounts for 85% of their revenue, they are expanding their reach across Shopify and big-box marketplaces like Wayfair, Home Depot, and Lowe’s.
The culture is built around a few clear principles:
-
Ownership: A team of self-driven individuals who take full responsibility for their work and consistently raise the bar.
-
Transparency: Open, direct communication paired with thoughtful, constructive challenge.
-
Optimization: A fast-moving, data-led environment where decisions are grounded in performance and a proactive mindset is expected.
This is a fully remote, full-time contractor-to-hire role.

Performance Rewards: Access to revenue-tied performance bonuses based on KPIs you directly impact, gated by a contribution margin modifier.

Flexible Remote Culture: Work fully remotely while staying integrated with the PST work schedule to sync with physical infrastructure.
