Our company is building a new Shopify ecommerce channel alongside our core store fixutres business. We already have two reliable local suppliers with stock ready to be dropshipped, with an initial catalog of ~1600 SKUs. Our goal is to launch fast with clean execution, then scale paid search.

WHAT WE NEED

We need an operator who can run the launch end-to-end and protect the founder’s time.

This is a full-time role, but if you’re a strong candidate with part-time availability, apply anyway. This is a long-term position—we plan to grow the store to 10,000 SKUs over time.

A performance marketer / media buyer (you will coordinate a specialist)
A developer (you will coordinate a developer and QA the output)
A general VA who only follows instructions (this role owns outcomes and deliverables)
Someone who needs daily hand-holding or can’t show proof of similar work (SOPs, dashboards, launch plans, completed projects)

Build and launch a Shopify store for ~1600 SKUs
Manage VA(s) to upload products and enforce a QA checklist
Coordinate competitor pricing inputs and keep pricing organized (rules + review)
Set up and integrate automatic shipping costs based on package sizes/weights and carrier/rate apps that return the best available shipping rates
Coordinate Google Ads launch with a media buyer (Search/Shopping)
Coordinate with a developer to build supplier integrations (API) for live stock and order routing, including clear acceptance criteria and testing
Coordinate perfect tracking setup (GA4/GTM/Ads conversions) with the media buyer/developer and verify with evidence
Ensure the finished output works (testing + evidence), not just “it should work”

Strong project management: timelines, owners, follow-ups, and deadlines
Ecommerce operations literacy: products, variants, collections, feeds, shipping rules
Comfortable handling a large catalog (we’re launching ~1600 SKUs)
Able to write clear specs/tickets for a developer and validate outputs with a test plan
Can coordinate supplier API work (requirements, edge cases, acceptance criteria, UAT)
Can coordinate and verify tracking (GA4/GTM/Google Ads) using evidence (test order, debug tools, screenshots)
Can set up and maintain shipping rate logic (package sizes/weights, shipping profiles, carrier/rate apps, spot-checks)
Comfortable communicating with suppliers and pushing for what you need
Strong documentation: SOPs, checklists, and simple dashboards
Calm execution: you don’t create chaos, you reduce it

TOOLS (PREFERRED)

Shopify, Google Sheets, Notion/ClickUp/Asana, Slack, Loom. Bonus if you’ve worked with Google Merchant Center and product feeds.

TIME ZONE

Must overlap at least 2 hours/day with 10 AM–5 PM Eastern Time (Toronto/New York).

PAY

Based on proof of ability. Include your expected hourly rate in your application.

We launch in 4–8 weeks once the website is live, with a clean catalog and stable operations
Product uploads are consistent, accurate, and traceable (no guessing)
Supplier inventory updates are reliable (stock accuracy + clear OOS behavior)
Ads buyer gets what they need: clean feed, clean landing pages, clean tracking evidence
Founder receives short weekly updates and only gets pulled in for key decisions

2-WEEK PAID TRIAL (HOW WE HIRE)

We will start with a 2-week paid trial. If you perform, this becomes long-term.
