TL;DR (because we know you’re busy)
Hiring a freelance part-time e-commerce manager is a smart move if:- You need flexible help growing your online store
- Your team is overwhelmed with daily tasks and other priorities
- You want senior e-commerce support without employee commitments or full-time costs
When Do SMBs Benefit From Hiring a Freelance Part-Time E-Commerce Manager?
Running an online store isn’t just about listing products and waiting for sales to roll in (though we wish it were that easy).
Between juggling customer service, stock and orders management, phone calls, etc, your team might not have the time or the digital knowledge to manage products, website tweaks, and those never-ending platform updates — it’s a full-on operation.
But here’s a secret not enough brands take advantage of: you don’t need a full-time team member to keep things moving.
What you need is a part-time E-Commerce Manager.
What Does a Part-Time E-Commerce Manager Actually Do?
Think of them as your digital right-hand person — someone who lives and breathes online retail, but without the overheads of a full-time hire.A part-time e-commerce manager can:
- Optimise your website for better conversion rates
- Manage product listings and ensure everything looks top-notch
- Coordinate with web development, marketing and content teams
- Analyse sales data and customer behaviour
- Keep your store in sync with best practices and platform updates (Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, you name it)
- Troubleshoot tech headaches before they become real problems
In short: they handle the stuff that keeps your store growing, so you can focus on the big picture.
Why Go Part-Time?
Let’s be honest — hiring full-time staff is a big commitment, especially for small to mid-sized e-commerce brands.
Salaries, benefits, onboarding, office space (if you’re not fully remote) — it adds up.
A part-time solution gives you access to senior-level e-commerce support without the full-time price tag. You get strategy and execution — just tailored to your current stage of growth (or maybe the stage of your online sales channel).
It’s flexible, cost-effective, and scalable. Whether you need 5 hours a week or 2 days a month, you can dial it up or down as your business evolves.
Who’s It For?
- Wholesale brands transitioning into e-commerce
- Small SMBs where human resources need to be calibrated accurately
- Startup brands who’ve outgrown DIY-ing everything
- DTC businesses looking to improve performance without hiring a full team
