Ecommerce Manager - Caithness

Ecommerce Manager

Ecommerce manager jobs cover a huge range of specialisms, whether that’s working with a logistics firm that has multiple ecommerce clients, or working for an online retailer that needs to find the optimum carriers for the various products they sell.

What all the roles have in common is a deep understanding of the way logistics and transport is inseparable from customer interactions and the sourcing and supply of products from a potentially global pool. As ecommerce manager, you’ll be the link between the in-house expertise brought by the digital team (such as marketing and development), the sales team, and the logistics and transport part, whether that’s in-house, outsourced or hybrid.

Ideally, you’ll already have plenty of experience running complex ecommerce operations from such a centralised role, However, talented individuals from logistics or digital teams can often rise to such an overarching position if they can demonstrate a rounded view of the way customer purchases, stock management, product supply and fulfillment interact with each other to benefit the company’s profits.

The skills required

As the intermediary between the board and the logistics and digital teams, excellent communication of goals and strategies will be crucial to performing the ecommerce manager role well. That will include analytical data, which you’ll often have to understand in its raw form and interpret for the various stakeholders.

An in-depth knowledge of the way ecommerce works, from factory to front door, will be critical to rising to the many challenges that come with the job.

Ecommerce Manager Jobs in Caithness

Caithness is the county at the most north-eastern corner of mainland Britain, and is part of the Highland area. The county is home to the town of John o'Groats, famous for being one end of mainland Britain's longest possible journey, the other being Land's End. The county is also home to the island's northernmost point, Dunnet Head, and settlement, Scarfskerry (population 300).

The largest town in Caithness is Thurso, which is located at the north of the county where the A9 meets the A386. Regular ferries make the trip to Orkney to the north, and there's also an airport at Wick over to the east. However the county is pretty sparsely populated, and ,much of its land is used for agriculture.

Agriculture, ferries and airports usually present opportunities for Ecommerce Manager jobs, and sure enough, even here at the northern extremity of of our mainland, they, and other related positions, do occasionally come up. The closest large settlement is Inverness, which is a two-hour drive from the heart of Caithness, so commuting isn't necessarily an option either!
