Cambridge (Hybrid) Competitive Salary + Benefits

We’re partnering with a fast-growing, entrepreneurial eCommerce business that sits at the intersection of creativity and commercial performance. Operating across both its own consumer brands and a specialist eCommerce agency, the company has built a reputation for delivering high-impact digital experiences that don’t just look great - they convert.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, ambitious team where testing, learning, and continuous improvement are embedded in the culture. If you’re excited by the idea of seeing your work directly influence sales and growth, this role offers genuine ownership and visibility.

The Role

This is a hybrid position combining design, eCommerce trading, and performance marketing. You’ll split your time between creating high-quality digital assets and optimising them based on real performance data.

Unlike traditional design roles, success here isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about results. You’ll be expected to take ownership of your work, analyse how it performs, and continuously refine it to improve conversion, engagement, and revenue.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll play a key role in driving online performance across a portfolio of products and platforms. This includes:

• Managing and optimising product listings across eCommerce and marketplace channels
• Running A/B tests and using data insights to improve conversion rates
• Designing and refining product imagery and enhanced content
• Creating multiple variations of assets to test and learn what performs best
• Supporting website updates, landing pages, and product launches
• Applying UX/UI and CRO principles to improve the customer journey
• Collaborating with marketing and trading teams to align on commercial goals

Alongside this, you’ll contribute to wider creative and campaign activity, including paid social content and digital advertising, while maintaining high visual standards across all outputs.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who combines creative ability with commercial awareness. You should be comfortable switching between design tools and performance metrics, and motivated by improving results over time.

You’ll likely bring:

• A strong understanding of what drives eCommerce conversion
• Confidence working with data, testing, and optimisation
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• The ability to work within brand guidelines while improving existing assets
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• An interest in AI tools and emerging trends in eCommerce and design

It would be advantageous if you also have experience with eCommerce platforms, A/B testing or CRO, website CMS tools, or motion graphics - but these aren’t essential.

Experience

This role would suit someone with around 1-2 years’ experience in eCommerce, digital design, or a trading-focused role. Strong junior candidates with a relevant portfolio and clear commercial mindset will also be considered.
