Omnichannel Retail Recruitment: Hiring the Digital Team Inside a Retail Business

25 Aug

Written By Emily Haydon

Plenty of established retailers are building serious digital teams right now, and most discover the same thing early: hiring for the digital side of a retail business is not the same as hiring for a pure-play brand. The candidates are different, the org questions are different, and the mistakes are expensive. Here's how we think about it.

Why digital hires inside a retailer are different

In a pure-play DTC brand, the ecommerce lead owns the whole P&L and answers to a founder. Inside a retailer, the digital lead works alongside store operations, established buying teams and legacy systems, and may or may not own the online P&L outright. That changes who succeeds in the job. A brilliant pure-play operator can drown in a retailer's stakeholder map, while someone who has grown up in omnichannel knows how to trade a site and win over a merchandise director. Our Head of Ecommerce guide covers the Head of Ecommerce versus Head of Digital distinction in detail, and it matters more in retail than anywhere else.

Can your store people cross into digital?

Sometimes, and it's worth taking seriously before you hire outside. Buyers and planners often make strong digital trading people, because range, margin and sell-through thinking transfers directly. Store operators can carry customer instinct into fulfilment and service roles. What rarely works is asking someone to learn performance marketing, CRM or platform management from scratch on the job - those are deep specialist skills with their own market, and under-hiring them costs more than it saves. The honest test: if the role's output depends on craft your business has never contained, hire the craft.

The roles that make an omnichannel team work

A digital lead with genuine omnichannel experience - someone who has run online inside a store network before, not just alongside one
An Ecommerce Manager who can trade the site day to day while the lead manages the business
CRM and loyalty talent - retailers sit on customer bases pure-plays would kill for, and this hire is how you monetise yours
Digital marketing that connects store and online demand rather than competing with the store network for credit

What these roles pay

Retail digital roles pay on the same bands as the wider ecommerce market: Heads of Ecommerce and Digital at $150,000-$200,000 base (well beyond that at scale), Ecommerce Managers at $120,000-$160,000, senior CRM specialists at $140,000-$170,000. The full role-by-role tables are in what ecommerce roles pay in Australia in 2026. One caution from the hiring room: retailers used to store-side pay scales often budget digital roles low, then lose their shortlist to pure-play brands who don't.

How we help retailers build digital teams

We recruit ecommerce exclusively, which means the digital talent pool a retailer can't see - the people running channels inside other brands right now - is the pool we work every day. We know who has genuine omnichannel scars and who has only ever traded a single-brand site, and we can tell you honestly which your role needs. Searches run confidentially where they need to, and shortlists usually land within two to three weeks of briefing.

FAQ

Should a retailer hire a Head of Ecommerce or a Head of Digital?

It depends where the role's edges sit. If the hire owns the online channel inside a wider marketing structure, that's a Head of Ecommerce. If they own ecommerce plus paid media, SEO and CRM, that's a Head of Digital, and it's the more common shape in omnichannel businesses. Scope it before you brief, because the two attract different candidates.

Can we promote from our stores instead of hiring outside?

For trading, service and operations roles, often yes - commercial retail instinct transfers well. For specialist digital craft like performance marketing, CRM and platform work, you'll almost always need to hire the skill in.

Do omnichannel roles pay differently from pure-play DTC roles?

The bands are the same, and that's the trap: pure-play brands compete for the same candidates and rarely underbudget them. Benchmark against the ecommerce market, not your store-side pay scales.
