Ecommerce Analyst
Online retail is a living, breathing discipline, where product quality, marketing, social media, competitors’ campaigns, logistics and fulfillment, search optimisation and platform stability are all pushing and pulling performance in every direction. The task of the ecommerce analyst is to make sense of it all, and to put in place strategies to maximise profitability and minimise waste.
The good thing about this task is that pretty much any metric you could wish to follow is available online. Visitor tracking, site performance, customer satisfaction and all aspects of sales performance are available through digital means. The bad news is that the sheer volume of data available can be overwhelming. It’s the ecommerce analyst’s job to sort the wheat from the chaff, initially focusing on low-hanging fruit that can boost profitability, but ultimately drilling down into the minutiae to create sustainable profits and identify emerging risks and opportunities.
The skills required
Ecommerce analyst jobs are suited to those who like nothing better than to sit at a computer and look at endless streams of data, sorting and analysing it through spreadsheets and analytics software to mine for commercial benefits. Sometimes the problems and solutions are established and obvious, but it’s the ability to spot issues when they are still new and developing that makes an ecommerce analyst so valuable to any online retailer.
Any experience in ecommerce sales, marketing or logistics will be an advantage to the potential analyst, as a deep understanding of the territory helps them to identify issues more quickly.
Ecommerce Analyst Jobs in Stirlingshire
Stirlingshire is a historic county in central Scotland bordered to the north by Perthshire and the south by Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire. Were it not for a few miles of land occupied by Dunbartonshire at its western side, Stirlingshire would stretch all the way from the Firth of Forth to the Firth of Clyde. The town of Stirling is located at its eastern side, 22 miles (35 km) north east of Glasgow and 30 miles (50 km)north west of Edinburgh.
Both the east and the west of Stirlingshire come within the catchment areas of Scotland’s two major cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow, although there are few large concentrations of population within the county area itself. Stirling’s population is only around 20,000. The best prospects for anyone seeking Ecommerce Analyst jobs in Stirlingshire is to look to the cities and the larger towns that occupy the land between them, although similar positions have been filled in the past within the county area.
