ED HARDY FASHION BRAND

E-commerce Manager - D2C - streetwear and Sports performance wear Brands

Central Manchester

Reporting to: CEO and Brand Director

Full time head office based role 5 days a week

BRANDS:

A-GAME. UK. Our flagship in-house technical sportswear brand, engineered for high-performance

athletes and active lifestyles, currently scaling across the UK and US markets via our direct-to consumer channels.

• Ed Hardy: Holding the UK and EU licence, we have successfully relaunched and repositioned

this iconic brand for a new generation across key European markets, while also acting as an

authorised global supplier to other international licensees.

• AND1: Expanded in May 2025, we hold the licence for this globally recognised basketball and

original streetball brand, reintroducing it to today's streetwear market.

THE ROLE

As Ecommerce Manager you will take full ownership of the technical backbone of

our digital operation across Ed Hardy, AND1 and A-Game. This is a platform first role, responsible for the health, performance and evolution of our ecommerce technology stack, built primarily around Shopify Plus and integrated with NetSuite for our wider business systems.

We are open to introducing further platforms, potentially including Salesforce Commerce Cloud, as the business scales, so experience beyond Shopify is a genuine asset even though it is not part of our stack today.

Day to day trading performance and visual merchandising sit with dedicated specialists elsewhere in the team, so this role is deliberately focused on the technical and operational side of the business.

You will act as the technical lead for all onsite operations, meaning platform uptime, site speed,

checkout reliability and scalability sit squarely with you. You will own the roadmap for third party

integrations and apps, manage the relationships with platform vendors and developers, and translate commercial and brand requirements into technical specifications that a development resource can build against.

A central part of the role is bridging the gap between technical development and the commercial and brand teams. When the ecommerce team wants to test a new feature, change a checkout flow or launch a new landing page template, you are the person who scopes it, sequences it against the wider roadmap and delivers it without compromising site stability.

You will also own the technical implementation of analytics and tracking, ensuring GA4 and any other measurement tools are correctly configured across all three brands so that trading and marketing teams can trust the data they work from.

You will be expected to bring strong judgement on site security, data protection and payment

compliance, and to support the technical side of international scaling, including multi-currency setups and infrastructure that can support brand consistency as territories expand. This is a technical and operational leadership role for someone who understands ecommerce platforms deeply and takes genuine satisfaction in a site that simply works.

Please note due to the time zone difference with our China office, UK working hours are 7.30am to

4pm. We do not currently offer WFH flexibility.
