Apex Industrial Automation is building its eCommerce capability from the ground up, and this role is at the center of it. The eCommerce Platform & Data Specialist supports the performance, accuracy, and growth of our digital commerce platform, and plays an active part in defining what a best-in-class eCommerce operation looks like for an industrial distributor.

This is not a maintenance role. It's a foundation role. The person in this seat will help shape the workflows, standards, and cross-functional processes that this function runs on and will grow with it as it scales.

What You'll Own


Platform Performance & Roadmap

• Drive day-to-day operation and continuous improvement of the eCommerce platform (OroCommerce, Salsify, Epicor Prophet 21)
• Help define what "good" looks like for platform health, then build the reporting to demonstrate it
• Own the requirements, testing, and release validation process for new features and enhancements
• Identify platform gaps, escalate issues, and see them through to resolution with internal teams and vendors
• Manage content, navigation, and site experience as an active contributor

Product Data & Content Quality

• Work with the team to establish and enforce data standards for product attributes, specifications, images, and documentation
• Contribute to taxonomy, categorization, search tuning, and filtering, with findability and conversion as the north star
• Work with suppliers and internal teams to source, validate, and maintain technical data and digital assets

Analytics & Growth

• Help define the KPIs that matter: site performance, digital order volume, conversion, search success, content coverage
• Translate customer behavior data into concrete improvements to the online experience
• Support A/B and usability testing; contribute to a feedback loop that informs decisions

Sales Enablement & Internal Adoption

• Partner with sales and commercial teams to drive platform adoption, understand their friction, and help remove it
• Build training materials and process guides that make the platform intuitive for internal users
• Serve as a platform advocate: someone who knows it deeply and represents its users well

Cross-Functional & Integration Work

• Act as a primary point of contact for eCommerce platform questions across the organization
• Coordinate with marketing, IT, operations, and suppliers on launches, promotions, and content initiatives
• Contribute actively to integration projects (ERP, PIM, CRM), testing, validating, and helping document how data should flow

Process Design & Documentation

• Help build the playbooks, workflows, data standards, onboarding guides, and best practices that this function runs on
• Support change communication so that when something changes, the organization understands it

What This Role Can Become


The growth path here is real, but it's not automatic. It's tied directly to what gets built. As the platform matures and proves its value to the business, this role has a clear trajectory toward greater ownership, team leadership, and compensation tied to online sales performance.

This isn't a role where you're handed a checklist and work through it. This is an entrepreneurial role where you help build success in a multi-hat environment. The scope, KPIs, and processes are yours to help shape. If you're someone who wants to build something from the ground up and be recognized when it succeeds, this is that opportunity.
