eCommerce Placement is a certified Shopify Plus Partner and a specialist in recruiting eCommerce talent for Shopify and Shopify Plus brands. We place leaders, marketers, and operators who know the platform — contingency-based, no upfront cost.
The Role
Shopify has become the dominant platform for DTC brands and a growing presence in enterprise retail. Hiring talent with genuine Shopify expertise — from eCommerce leaders who have scaled brands on the platform to technical operators who understand the ecosystem — requires a recruiter embedded in that world.
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.

As a certified Shopify Plus Partner, eCommerce Placement is embedded in the Shopify ecosystem. That gives us context generalist recruiters simply do not have.
eCommerce Placement is listed in the Shopify Plus Partner Directory. That means we are recognized by Shopify as a trusted resource for brands on the platform — and we have built relationships with Shopify-ecosystem talent across every functional area.
We can assess Shopify expertise in depth — from growth leaders who have scaled DTC brands past $50M on Shopify, to operators who understand Shopify Markets, Checkout Extensibility, and the app ecosystem. We screen for real platform fluency, not keyword matching.
The majority of our placements are at DTC brands — which means Shopify is our home turf. We have placed eCommerce leaders, performance marketers, CRM managers, and analytics leads at Shopify brands across beauty, apparel, food and beverage, pet, health, and home.
