Ecommerce Manager

Ecommerce Manager – Shopify, Paid Media, CRO & Retention

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: AEST Business Hours

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring an experienced Ecommerce Manager to own and grow the entire ecommerce engine for a fast-growing consumer brand.

This is not simply a paid media role. You’ll be responsible for performance across the full ecommerce customer journey — acquisition, conversion, retention, merchandising, and customer experience.

You’ll work hands-on across:

• Shopify
• Meta Ads
• Google Ads
• Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
• Klaviyo
• Ecommerce analytics
• Creative performance
• Technical SEO
• Customer retention

Success will be measured by overall business outcomes including revenue growth, conversion rate, AOV, LTV, retention, ROAS, and CPA — not advertising metrics alone.

A dedicated creative team will produce design assets and content, but you’ll actively influence creative strategy by identifying winning messaging, customer motivations, and performance trends.

If you understand ecommerce as an interconnected growth system and know how to turn customer and performance data into measurable revenue growth, this role is a strong fit.
