Ecommerce Merchandiser - Hockey, Hockey, Hockey!

We are looking for a Die-hard Hockey Enthusiast Ecommerce Merchandiser to lead the growth plan behind our Shopify ecommerce site and systems with the highest level of delight. We are authentic and retail online NHL authentic customized jerseys with any name and number across all of North America.  We also have strong partnerships with Fanatics, Brand 47, CCM/Bauer, Klarna and social media influencers.  In business since 1999, this business has lost some momentum in the last hockey season - but we are on a tear to spice it up and reclaim our former market leading position.  With a newly energized passionate team we are on the path to be ‘elbows up’ in the Canadian market and bespoke to the USA.  If you root for the underdog, you’ll be right at home.

Be part of a world class multi-billion international public corporation - working in a B2C acquisition that’s out to show how our Canadian team can make Shopify sing in this multi-million dollar Canadian/US business. 

The ideal candidate brings a background in product, growth and/or product analytics at a high-growth ecommerce startup, with experience working alongside operations, I.T. and customer service.  This role defines and coordinates key metrics (CVR, AOV, RPV, etc). You’ve got a keen eye for the details in merchandising, keen new marketing ideas to share and develop with the team, and a passion to win.  Focus on the user experience, data-driven rigor and a knack for measurement, the business intuition to work cross-functionally and prioritize our roadmap, and enough technical fluency to collaborate closely with internal and external developers.

In your first ninety days, you’ll take ownership of our digital product roadmap and backlog, refine our growth priorities planning document, and dig deep into pricing and merchandising vs. the competition.  The team is also assessing our existing site experience and prioritizing opportunities for improvement.  Let's explore new features and experiences, and begin work on new feature development.
