Ecommerce is one of the fastest-moving areas of fashion and retail — turning a retailer's website and digital channels into successful commercial businesses. It's a varied, constantly evolving career combining commercial awareness, creativity, technology and data.

Ecommerce offers excellent opportunities for career progression as businesses continue to invest in their online and digital channels. Many professionals begin in an ecommerce administration, coordination or assistant role before progressing into executive, merchandising or trading positions.

With experience, you can specialise in areas such as Ecommerce Trading, Digital Merchandising, Content, CRM, Marketplace Management or Ecommerce Operations.

As your career develops, you may progress into Ecommerce Manager, Senior Ecommerce Manager, Head of Ecommerce or Head of Digital positions, taking responsibility for larger teams, multiple channels and significant online sales budgets.

There are also opportunities to move into wider digital and commercial roles, including Digital Trading, Digital Marketing, Marketplace Management, Online Buying & Merchandising and Digital Product.

At senior level, experienced professionals can progress into Ecommerce Director, Digital Director, Head of Digital or Chief Digital Officer roles, helping to shape the overall digital and commercial strategy of a business.
