Sr Ecommerce Specialist

At SecondShop, we’re a team of Canadians who believe in doing better—for our country, your wallets, and our planet. 
 
We started with a simple idea: why should perfectly good products go to waste or sit unsold when people like you are out there looking for smart ways to save? We have made it our mission to source the highest quality open-box, overstocked, and scratch-and-dent products from the top brands - offering them to Canadians at up to 50% off. But we are not just about savings—we’re about changing how people shop. Say goodbye to paying full price and hello to smarter spending! Learn more about us at www.secondshop.ca

About the Role 

We’re looking for a Sr Ecommerce Specialist to own how customers discover, understand, and purchase products on SecondShop.ca. This role sits at the intersection of merchandising, UX, inventory, and technology, and is critical to improving conversion, order value, and overall customer confidence when buying big-ticket items online. 

You’ll develop a deep understanding of our inventory and customer behaviour, and translate that into a best-in-class browsing and discovery experience despite our unpredictable and constantly changing stock. Learn more about us at www.secondshop.ca
