We are seeking a skilled and motivated E-commerce Manager with web development expertise to join our team. In this role, you will manage and grow our Shopify-based online store, SailM8, with plans to migrate to a new platform within the year. You will also build WordPress websites for our marketing agency, Portside Social Club, which serves marine businesses nationwide. Your time will be split between these two businesses, and you’ll play a key role in driving their success through your technical skills and growth-focused mindset.

Key Responsibilities:
• Manage and optimize SailM8’s Shopify online store to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
• Plan and execute a seamless migration to a new e-commerce platform within the year.
• Design, build, and maintain WordPress websites for marine businesses using Elementor customization, ensuring functionality and performance.
• Collaborate with our marketing team to develop and implement growth strategies, including email campaigns, social media ads, Google ads, and more.
• Track and analyze performance metrics, delivering reports on revenue growth, marketing effectiveness, and website analytics.
• Stay ahead of e-commerce trends and technologies to keep our store and websites competitive.

Required Skills and Experience:
• Proven experience setting up, managing, and growing online stores with a deep understanding of e-commerce best practices.
• Expertise in Shopify, with experience migrating to other e-commerce platforms.
• Strong skills in building and managing WordPress websites, including Elementor customization.
• Demonstrated success in driving revenue growth through marketing tactics like email journeys, social media advertising, and Google ads.
• Proficiency in tracking, reporting, and using data to guide decisions.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with marketing and other teams.

What We’re Looking For:
• Examples of Past Work: Provide specific examples of online stores you’ve grown, including revenue growth figures and the marketing tactics (e.g., email journeys, social/Google ads) you used to achieve success.
• A hardworking, business-minded individual who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and is eager to help us succeed.
• A self-starter ready to head and build their own department as the first member of this team.
• Reliable transportation to work on-site at Harbor Island, San Diego.
• Bonus: A passion for boating, yachts, or sailing—perfect for our marine-focused business!

About Us:

We’re a dynamic startup in the marine industry with a bold vision: to grow SailM8 into the leading online store for sailing supplies and to establish Portside Social Club as the top maritime marketing agency nationwide. After 2.5 years in business, we’re ready to scale aggressively, offering significant growth opportunities for career-driven individuals.

As a lean startup, we’re looking for someone who is excited to join early, help shape the future of our e-commerce and web development efforts, and lead their own department. Salary is negotiable based on experience, but please note that we do not offer benefits at this time. This role is ideal for someone who values the opportunity to build something from the ground up over corporate salaries and benefits.
