Job Description

Director of E-Commerce

Company: Confidential Dermatology-Founded Skincare Brand
Employment Type: Full-Time
Location: Remote

About the Brand

We are a fast-growing, dermatologist-founded skincare brand rooted in clinical efficacy, science-backed formulations, and long-term skin health. Trusted by professionals and consumers alike, our products combine medical credibility with elevated brand storytelling.

As our business scales, our digital storefront plays a critical role in education, conversion, and customer trust. We are seeking a Director of E-Commerce to own and scale our DTC business end-to-end and lead the strategy behind our online revenue engine.

The Role

The Director of E-Commerce will be responsible for driving revenue growth, conversion, and customer lifetime value across all DTC channels. This leader will own the ecommerce P&L and act as the strategic hub connecting marketing, merchandising, technology, operations, and customer experience.

This role is ideal for a data-driven ecommerce leader with deep DTC experience in skincare, beauty, or health-adjacent brands—someone who understands how to balance clinical education with performance, conversion, and a seamless user experience.

Key Responsibilities

Ecommerce Strategy & Revenue Growth

  • Own and scale the DTC ecommerce business, including revenue, conversion rate, AOV, and LTV
  • Develop and execute ecommerce growth strategies aligned with overall brand and business objectives
  • Forecast performance and manage the ecommerce P&L

Site Experience & Conversion Optimization

  • Own the Shopify (or equivalent) storefront, including homepage, PDPs, PLPs, checkout, and subscriptions
  • Lead CRO initiatives informed by data, user behavior, and customer feedback
  • Ensure the site experience clearly communicates clinical credibility, education, and trust

Merchandising & Product Strategy

  • Partner with Product and Marketing to support new product launches, regimens, bundles, and promotions
  • Own onsite merchandising strategy, including product hierarchy, collections, and promotional placement
  • Use performance data to guide assortment, pricing, and bundling decisions

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Serve as the connective leader across Growth, Creative, Product, Operations, and Customer Support
  • Translate marketing initiatives into onsite execution that maximizes conversion and retention
  • Lead and develop a high-performing ecommerce team and manage external partners and agencies

Analytics & Performance Reporting

  • Establish KPIs and dashboards to track performance across traffic, conversion, retention, and revenue
  • Leverage analytics tools to uncover insights and optimization opportunities
  • Present performance updates and strategic recommendations to executive leadership

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of ecommerce experience, with 3+ years in a leadership role
  • Proven success scaling DTC ecommerce for skincare, beauty, wellness, or health-adjacent brands
  • Strong understanding of Shopify (or similar platforms), CRO, subscriptions, and onsite merchandising
  • Deep analytical mindset with experience owning revenue targets, forecasts, and P&L
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills

Nice to Have

  • Experience with dermatologist-founded or clinically positioned brands
  • Familiarity with compliance considerations in skincare or health-adjacent categories
  • Experience with international ecommerce or omnichannel expansion
  • Hands-on experience with A/B testing, personalization, and retention tools
