What Does an eCommerce Manager Do?

The eCommerce Manager is the hands-on operator who keeps the digital business running, optimized, and growing on a day-to-day basis.

This role sits below a Director or VP and typically manages one or more specific eCommerce functions: site operations, digital merchandising, marketplace accounts, or digital marketing. They are the executors who turn strategy into results — managing PDPs, running A/B tests, overseeing agency partners, and pulling analytics to identify growth opportunities.

Core eCommerce Manager Responsibilities

  • Manage day-to-day operations of the eCommerce site or marketplace accounts
  • Optimize product pages (PDPs), category pages, and site navigation
  • Run and analyze A/B tests to improve conversion rate (CRO)
  • Coordinate with marketing, creative, and ops on campaigns and launches
  • Manage digital merchandising: search, filters, promotions, and content
  • Monitor and report on KPIs: traffic, conversion, AOV, and revenue
  • Own Amazon Seller/Vendor Central or other marketplace accounts (if applicable)
  • Work with tech and platform teams on site improvements and bug resolution

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between an eCommerce Manager and a Director of eCommerce?
An eCommerce Manager typically operates within a specific function or set of channels — such as Amazon, site merchandising, or digital marketing — and reports to a Director or VP. A Director of eCommerce has broader accountability across multiple functions and often manages other managers. At smaller companies, the Manager role may carry more strategic responsibility.
How quickly can you fill an eCommerce Manager role?
Manager-level searches typically move faster than VP or Director searches. Most take 3–6 weeks from kickoff to accepted offer. We can usually present an initial shortlist within 2 weeks.
Do you place eCommerce Managers for remote roles?
Yes. We place eCommerce Managers in both in-office and fully remote positions across the US, Canada, and UK. Remote roles tend to expand the available candidate pool meaningfully at this level.
Can you find managers who specialize in Amazon specifically?
Absolutely. Amazon and marketplace specialists are a core part of our practice. We regularly place Amazon Channel Managers, Amazon Marketing Managers, and hybrid eCommerce-Amazon roles across brands of all sizes.
What's your placement fee?
We work on a contingency model — you only pay if we successfully place a candidate. New clients receive a 10% discount on their first placement. Contact us to discuss specific fee details for your search.
