eCommerce Manager – Association for Cultural Enterprises

Do you want to build a new ecommerce brand in the cultural sector from scratch? Do you have a flair for creating beautiful websites? This is an exciting and unique role, with the potential to reach a large audience, working with some of the most creative and respected cultural organisations in the UK and beyond.

We’re looking for a highly motivated eCommerce Manager to join our friendly, dedicated and ambitious team. This job is focused on creating a new site designed to sell subscription boxes and experiences from the arts and heritage sector in the UK, and then taking ownership of running the business and increasing sales.

About Us

Cultural Enterprises is a charity with hundreds of member organisations in the UK and beyond. Our aim is to promote commercial best practice in the cultural and heritage sector by providing training and networking opportunities, and facilitating the sharing of information and experience between our members. We care passionately about working in such a thriving and life-affirming sector, and are always looking for opportunities to help our members.

About the Website

Cultural Enterprises is currently in a research and development phase to create an online shop, most likely on Shopify. The name and brand are to be confirmed, something we would like you to take part in depending on your start date. The site will be focused on selling subscription-based products and experiences, both in-person and digitally, solely from cultural organisations.

The site will be run as a social enterprise. Although needing to make a profit, a key USP is to create new revenue streams for arts and heritage organisations who join. We will work with cultural organisations to develop product for the site.

About the Role

As our eCommerce Manager you will be responsible for maintaining and growing the shop database by liaising with merchants and a product development manager to refine and grow the shop offer. Pre-launch you will help establish the brand and the look of the site, set-up payment gateways, partner on-boarding, and shipping solutions. Post-launch you will relish taking ownership of the site, being responsible for adding content and merchandise, copywriting, and facilitating best practice UX working with an external digital marketing agency. Whilst working to that all important budget.
