E-Commerce Supervisor

Last Updated on Sept. 13, 2023 by Luigi P.

E-Commerce Supervisor (Experienced, Full-Time, Work from Home)

The E-Commerce Supervisor is the person who is the tie-breaker for the team, is the glue for the organization, holds everything together, beats the drum (provides cadence), is accountable for the P&L results, executes the business plan, holds the team accountable, and is the steady force in the organization. The E-Commerce Supervisor also creates organizational clarity, communication, and consistency; typically (but not always) operates more on logic; drives results; forces resolution, focus, team unity, prioritization, and follow-through; is the filter for all of the General Manager’s ideas; harmoniously integrates the team; and helps to remove obstacles and barriers.

Why Work Here:

• LEARN: Working in Shoenami means you are an important member of a small ~10 person team. The unique way in which you approach and solve a problem will be definitely noticed. While you do that, the process of learning will be enhanced too. A startup has fewer people so everybody’s role is important.
• OWNERSHIP: You'll have the freedom to do your work with no micromanagement. As the late Steve Jobs has said: "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."
• INNOVATION: At an established company, you most likely have an employee handbook that outlines the policies and procedures for a given scenario. At Shoenami, team members are creating these policies and procedures. This gives you more freedom to experiment with new processes and templates to see what works best.
• VALUE: Shoenami thrive off of new ideas and ways of thinking through problems. Additionally, there are few teammates to make suggestions. This means that your input is valuable and sometimes necessary for the growth of the business.

What our previous/current teammates say about us:

• "Every time, I browse the Shoenami website, I feel happy that my hard work has paid off. This also reflects the trust of the company beyond my work, as well as my growth in my position. Also, the compliments help my motivation grow further." from Daniella P. (Former Admin Assistant)
• "Not related to tasks but I actually love not being micromanaged. I really do enjoy working without being supervised." from Kate Y. (Current Admin Team Lead)
• "Being used to the tasks I need to do everyday. Finding and buying a lot of shoes not using my own money :D , proves that I've built trust with Shoenami." from Christian O. (Current Junior Sneaker Buyer)
• “If you ever get lucky enough to be hiring people, make sure you're hiring people that not only you can teach, but make sure you're hiring people who are also going to teach you things.” from Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO)
• "What I love about being part of the team is getting the feeling of belongingness. With the continuous support and feedback being given, I feel that the team wanted to help me to be an expert and eventually be in a bigger role. I also love the interaction with customers since I am able to express myself unlike in the BPO industry, where you need to follow verbiage." from Thristian L. (Current Customer Service Representative)
