- Can we increase output without adding more people?
- Strong hands-on experience building AI automations, workflows, agents or internal tools

- AI workflows are reliable, documented and actually used by the team
- Customer service and operational processes become faster and more consistent
- Growth initiatives are prioritised based on commercial impact
- The business becomes more efficient, scalable and data-driven
You are likely a strong fit if you are:
- A builder, not just a strategist
- Commercially focused, not just technically curious
- Fast, practical and resourceful
- Obsessed with AI, automation and better systems
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving ecommerce environment
- Able to work with ambiguity and turn ideas into working solutions
- Interested in creating real business leverage, not just experimenting with tools
This is a high-impact role in a growing ecommerce business where your work will directly shape how the company operates.
You will work closely with leadership to build AI systems that improve growth, efficiency, customer experience and profitability across multiple brands.
