What Makes Someone Successful in this Role?

The right person will:

Think like a developer. You care about writing clean, maintainable code and building systems that won't create problems six months from now.

Think like an e-commerce operator. You understand that a website exists to help customers find products, make decisions, and purchase.

Think like a marketer. You understand landing pages, promotions, customer journeys, testing, analytics, and conversion.

Think like a problem solver. You don't need every problem handed to you as a perfectly defined ticket. You can identify the problem, research potential solutions, and determine the best path forward.

Care about the details. A button being 4px too low, a mobile experience being awkward, or a page taking too long to load matters to you.

What You'll Work On

Your projects could include:

• Building custom Shopify experiences
• Improving Primo's product and collection pages
• Developing new landing pages for marketing campaigns
• Improving our bundle-building experience
• Testing new PDP layouts and shopping experiences
• Implementing A/B tests
• Improving mobile conversion
• Improving site speed and performance
• Integrating new Shopify apps and services
• Developing custom functionality around our products and promotions
• Supporting major product and collection launches
• Identifying and fixing friction throughout the customer journey
• Fielding questions from each department about the site and its functionality

The Opportunity

This role will have a significant amount of ownership.

Primo currently works with an outside development partner for custom Shopify development, CRO, A/B testing, and website optimization. We're looking to bring that capability in-house so that our website can become a faster-moving, more integrated part of our business.

You'll have the opportunity to help shape how Primo's e-commerce experience develops as the company grows.

If you're someone who enjoys building things, solving problems, testing ideas, and seeing your work directly impact an e-commerce business, we'd love to hear from you.
