Manager - Ecommerce

Business Context
• Portfolio of 4–5 fashion brands, each with a distinct positioning, price point and customer base, sold across marketplaces and owned DTC websites.

 • Marketplace presence spans multiple platforms per brand, each with different commercial models, content requirements, fulfillment methods, and account management structures.

• DTC websites are run as owned P&Ls — full accountability for revenue, gross margin, digital marketing spend, fulfillment cost and channel profitability. 

• The channel must protect brand equity online while scaling volume — pricing parity, content quality and promotional discipline across every platform are commercially critical.
