Shopify Developer
The opportunity
All roads lead to the website. Every dollar we invest in television, digital, email and social ends its journey on our Shopify stores, so the speed, reliability and conversion of those stores decide how hard all of that spend works. We need a Shopify Developer to own our storefronts across three markets, keep them fast and dependable, lift conversion and keep them cleanly connected to the systems behind them.
This is a hands-on build and run role. You will work closely with the designer, the marketing lead and the inventory and finance team, and you will be measured on a site that loads fast, stays up and sells.
Key responsibilities
Storefront build and maintenance
● Build, customize and maintain the Shopify themes and storefronts across our Australian, United Kingdom and United States stores.
● Develop in Liquid, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and build clean reusable components and templates.
● Build landing pages, product pages, offers and promotions for launches and campaigns, working with the designer and marketing.
Conversion and performance
● Continuously improve conversion across the site, with a focus on the product pages, cart and checkout.
● Keep the stores fast and fully optimised for mobile, where most of our traffic lands.
● Run and learn from testing and use analytics to find and fix where customers drop off.
Apps, integrations and data
● Manage and maintain the integrations between Shopify and our back-end systems, including inventory and fulfilment such as Cin7 and our third-party logistics, payment gateways, email and SMS, reviews and analytics.
● Make sure data flowing between the store and those systems is accurate and reliable so orders, stock and reporting can be trusted.
● Select, configure and maintain Shopify apps, and remove what is not earning its place.
Reliability and security
● Keep the stores stable, secure and up to date, with safe deployment and proper testing so the live site is never broken.
● Monitor uptime and site health, and fix issues quickly before they cost sales.
Reporting
● Track site performance, conversion and the customer journey across all three stores, and flag problems and opportunities early.
What success looks like in the first six months
● The three stores are fast, stable and measurably converting better.
● Integrations with inventory, fulfilment and the other systems are reliable and trusted.
● Campaign and launch pages ship quickly and on time.
● Issues are caught and fixed before they affect sales, not after.
