eCommerce Placement specializes in placing Growth Marketing talent at DTC brands, eCommerce businesses, and agencies across the US, Canada, and UK. Contingency-based. No placement, no fee.
The Role
Growth marketing in eCommerce spans acquisition, conversion, retention, and experimentation, with a shared focus on sustainable, data-driven revenue growth. It is a broad discipline that attracts strong analytical talent, and finding the right fit requires a recruiter who understands the full growth stack.
Our Approach
We work on contingency, meaning you pay our fee only when we successfully place a candidate. No retainer. No upfront cost. Our fee is 20% of the placed candidate's first-year base salary, invoiced on their start date.
Every placement includes a replacement guarantee. If a hire does not work out within the guarantee period, we conduct a new search at no additional cost.
Start a Search →Why Specialize
Growth marketing is one of the most misused titles in eCommerce. Here is how we ensure the hire matches the actual role.
At some companies, growth marketing means paid acquisition. At others, it means full-funnel ownership from CAC to LTV. We spend time upfront defining what your version of this role actually requires before we source a single candidate.
The best growth marketers are broad enough to own multiple channels but deep enough to execute with credibility. That profile is genuinely rare and requires careful screening to identify.
Strong growth marketers run structured tests, measure incrementality, and make decisions based on data, not intuition. We screen for experimentation rigor and analytical thinking as part of every growth marketing assessment.
