E-Commerce Manager
STARTUP TRANSPARENCY: PLEASE READ
Forged Athletic is currently an early-stage startup! Please note that this is not a traditional hourly or salaried W-2 job. Your pay is based entirely on performance, tied directly to store sales through automated profit-sharing. We do not require a rigid 9-to-5 schedule; we care about results. You manage your own time. We don't micromanage your hours, but we expect timely communication and relentless execution. Handle your business, get the job done, and we’re good.
About the Role
We are hiring a Founding E-Commerce Manager. You are the lead builder of our website. Your job is to make sure the Shopify store looks high-quality, runs smoothly, and has every app connected properly. You ensure that when an athlete, coach, or parent goes to our website, everything works perfectly and the gear is incredibly easy to buy.
Who You Will Work With
The Founder: To get approval on brand design, website changes, and app budgets.
Discord Ops Lead: To make sure the website and our digital community are linked perfectly.
Heads of Sport (Seasonal): To set up and highlight their specific sport's gear on the site as seasons change.
Area Directors - Sales (Future): When our sales team gets rolling, you will work with them to build specific Team Stores for the schools they sign.
Your Core Duties
Make It Look Good (UI/UX): Design the front of the Shopify website. Make sure it looks tough, clean, and premium on both phones and computers.
Make It Buyable: Make the checkout process simple. Test the links, fix the bugs, and make it ridiculously easy for a customer to buy a hoodie in three clicks.
Make It Work (Backend Apps): Connect the software. Ensure our automated payout apps (CollabPay & GoAffPro) are working perfectly. Ensure our Print-on-Demand (POD) apps are synced so orders go straight to the manufacturer without breaking.
Improve the Store: Act like an owner. If you find a Shopify app that gets us more sales or makes the site faster, you have the authority to recommend and install it.
Customer Support (For Now): In this early startup phase, you will answer customer support emails. This ensures our first buyers get great service and helps you see what parts of the website need to be fixed or made easier to use.
Future Duty - Build the Team Stores: Once the sales team is deployed, you will take the school logos and colors they give you and quickly build hidden, custom web pages for those specific high schools and colleges.
Who We Are Looking For
Shopify Savvy: You know exactly how to use the Shopify backend, change themes, and connect apps.
The Problem Solver: You see a broken link or an error, and you fix it before anyone else even notices.
Self-Motivated: You work well on your own. Your pay is tied directly to how well the store works and how many sales it gets, so you are driven to make it succeed.
Faith-Alignment: You have a deep respect for the Christian mission of Forged Athletic. You understand what "Iron Sharpens Iron" means for a team's work ethic.
Your Pay Structure:
The Profit Share: You receive a 2% cut of all Global Store Revenue, paid out automatically via CollabPay. As the site you manage gets more traffic and makes more sales across the country, your monthly pay goes up directly with it.
