Digital and e-commerce teams sit right where customer experience, trading performance and technology meet.
They are responsible for making the online journey work, from the first click through to conversion, retention and repeat purchase. That takes people who understand data, product, content, performance, UX, trading and the commercial pressure behind every online decision.
The right hire can change the pace of growth.
Zachary Daniels works with retailers, consumer brands and e-commerce businesses to find digital and e-commerce talent with the skills, judgement and energy to make that growth happen.
Digital and e-commerce recruitment is rarely straightforward.
The best people need to be commercial and analytical. Creative and technical. Customer-focused and numbers-led. They need to understand trading performance, channel strategy, conversion, product visibility, content, data and how every part of the online experience affects revenue.
That mix is not always easy to find.
From E-Commerce Executives and Digital Trading Managers through to Heads of E-Commerce, Digital Directors and senior growth leaders, Zachary Daniels helps businesses find people who can improve performance, strengthen customer experience and move the online business forward.
If you work in digital or e-commerce, the next move needs to give you the right kind of opportunity.
That might mean more ownership, a stronger brand, a bigger trading remit, better tools, a faster-paced environment or a clearer route into leadership. It might mean joining a business where digital is genuinely central to the growth plan, not treated as an afterthought.
Your experience matters. So does the platform you want next.
Zachary Daniels takes the time to understand what you have delivered, what you want to build and where your skills are likely to have the biggest impact.
So whether you are actively looking or quietly open to the right move, the conversation starts properly.
Every recruiter says they understand retail and consumer brands. Zachary Daniels has built its reputation in them.
Across the UK and internationally, our teams support appointments across e-commerce, digital, marketing, brand, product, commercial and leadership functions. That gives us a clear view of how digital teams are structured, where the strongest talent sits and what businesses need to compete online.
Some of the clients we’ve partnered with
Digital and e-commerce roles move quickly.
Businesses are investing in new platforms, better customer journeys, stronger CRM, sharper trading, paid media, marketplaces, optimisation and data-led decision making. At the same time, the strongest candidates are often already in good roles, delivering growth somewhere else.
Reaching them takes more than a job advert.
It takes credible conversations, a clear understanding of the opportunity and the ability to explain why the move is worth their attention.
An E-Commerce Manager in one business can mean something very different in another.
For some brands, the role is trading-led. For others, it is platform ownership, marketplace growth, conversion optimisation, digital marketing, content, customer experience or a blend of all of them.
That is why the detail matters.
The brief needs to reflect the reality of the role, the size of the business, the tech stack, the team structure, the growth plans and how digital performance is measured.
Digital and e-commerce hiring can create a lot of noise.
There are candidates with the right keywords. There are candidates with the right platforms. Then there are the people who can actually make sense of the numbers, understand the customer and turn digital activity into commercial progress.
A better shortlist gives you properly matched, properly briefed and genuinely interested people. Candidates who understand the role, the business and the opportunity, before they ever reach interview.
We start with a conversation to understand more than just the role. We want to know your company values and the kind of person who will thrive in your team. Because finding the right hire isn’t just about a CV; it’s about the right fit, which leads to hires who stay and succeed.
The search covers active and passive digital and e-commerce talent, including people who may not be applying for roles but could be open to the right opportunity.
Candidates are assessed against experience, motivation, sector relevance, communication style, culture fit and the practical requirements of the role. For creative or content-led positions, portfolio or campaign examples can also be discussed early.
We take care of everything – from setting up interviews to guiding final conversations – making the whole experience seamless for both you and the candidate.
Digital and e-commerce teams play a critical role in how modern retail and consumer brands grow. From driving online sales and improving customer journeys to optimising performance across channels, the right people can have a significant impact on commercial results.
That’s why Zachary Daniels works with retailers and consumer brands across the UK and internationally to find talented digital and e-commerce professionals at every level. Whether you’re hiring or exploring your next move, you’re in the right place.
We handle a wide range of roles, including:
