Ecommerce Recruitment in Melbourne
Melbourne is the brand capital of Australian ecommerce. It's where much of the country's fashion, lifestyle and design-led retail lives - which shapes both the roles Melbourne companies hire and the candidates available to fill them.
What the Melbourne market looks like
Melbourne's talent pool skews strong on brand, creative and omnichannel experience - people who've grown up professionally inside fashion and lifestyle retailers. The flip side: pure trading and performance talent is fought over just as hard as in Sydney, and the best candidates are almost always passive. Hybrid working is the default expectation at every level.
The roles Melbourne brands are hiring
Heads of Ecommerce for omnichannel retailers and growing DTC brands

CRM and retention specialists for brands with big repeat-purchase ambitions
