Experienced Shopify Expert - Developer / SEO / Optimization / Conversion Specialist / Marketing

Join Our Team as a Shopify Expert - Help Us Keep it Chewy (and Captivating!)

Do you have a for creating websites that cause the visitors to stick (just like our candy taffy)? If you're a Shopify professional and can create remarkable websites that perform and convert, we want you on our team. We’re seeking someone experienced with developing, optimizing, and implementing Shopify Plus websites. We currently have a D2C website ---------- and a B2B website ---------- that both need some expert guidance and development

What you will be doing:
1. Creating a user-friendly experience. We have a Figma file from a conversion agency where we need to implement and test their conversion optimization suggestions. The site needs to be updated and designed to match that vision.
2. Work with our design team to strike the right balance between having the site look great and having it be optimized for performance. They will provide the graphics and support that you need.
3. Conversion Rates - You will be responsible for increasing our conversion rates. We currently sit at 2.7% but believe that we can/should be much higher.
4. SEO - we hired an agency that believed that they could increase our organic traffic to our sites. They actually hurt our organic traffic and we need help recovering (and growing) our organic traffic again.
5. App Management - you will be responsible for the management (and hopefully the elimination) of several apps that we use on our sites. We believe there are better ways to handle several of our unique needs where an experienced developer could provide a solution.
6. Addition of Media - we now how media/video ready and need help successfully adding it to our sites without bogging them down.
7. Listing / Product Optimization - help optimizing the product pages and shopper experience
8. Increasing AOV - whether through apps, clever marketing, or automation, we are looking to boost our AOV by $10 per order. We have ideas (and apps) but need help implementing the strategies.
9. Analytics - we are currently flying "blind". We need help with tracking, attribution, and connecting our store to other marketplaces (Facebook, TikTok, eBay, etc.).
10. Marketing - We want to optimize every opportunity to connect, follow up, and create a positive experience with the customer. Working with you to find clever ways to collect email addresses, SMS, to reach out for order/shipping confirmations, using 3rd party apps such as Klaviyo, improving our customer support integration via SMS/live chat/DMs via Gorgias, etc..

We believe that the Shopify portion will be approximately 4 hours per day or 20 hours per week. We are willing to hire part-time for that specific role but we are also looking for a marketing expert that can help with our ads (Facebook, Instagram, Google, TikTok) and/or someone that can help with our business analytics and dashboards. If you can do both roles, we would consider you for full-time work.

What we’re looking for:
1. Proven experience in web development (please share your portfolio)
2. Ability to create visually compelling websites while keeping it "on brand".
3. Strong design sensibility with an eye for detail
4. Capacity to work efficiently without sacrificing quality, particularly in fast-paced settings
5. A passion for storytelling and creating impactful visual content
6. Willingness to adapt based on the data or visitor statistics
7. Strong communication. Daily updates. Providing content when expected.
8. To be considered for an interview, please go to ---------- and reply in your application with which flavor of taffy you think you would like the most.
9. Ability to work during Mountain Time Zone Business hours 9am-5pm.
10. Actual experience working for a high-paced business. We are growing quickly and it is difficult for us to provide much direction. We ask that you work independently, join meetings when scheduled, submit your work on-time, communicate, provide updates, and act as if you were working on-site. Trust is the most important thing to us. Showing up and doing great work is the most important thing to us.
