About the job
The E-Commerce Manager will play a key role in shaping and scaling Alfa Laval North America's B2B e-commerce strategy. This is an opportunity to influence how we engage customers and channel partners digitally, accelerate adoption of our e-commerce capabilities, and turn digital commerce into an increasingly effective commercial channel across Food & Pharma, Energy, Ocean, and Service.
You will help define what great B2B e-commerce looks like for Alfa Laval in North America. Working across commercial teams, digital marketing, global stakeholders, and business leaders, you will translate customer and business needs into a clear strategic roadmap and lead its activation.
In the near term, you will help accelerate adoption of Alfa Laval's evolving e-commerce environment and create an effective experience for customers, channel partners, and internal users. Longer term, you will identify opportunities to scale the channel, improve the customer journey, generate demand, increase digital engagement, and create measurable commercial impact.
This opportunity is well suited for someone who enjoys building, influencing, and creating structure, rather than simply operating within an established playbook. You will have the opportunity to bring your expertise, challenge how we work today, and help shape where we go next.

- Own the evolution and optimization of the e-commerce experience, using customer insights, business needs, and performance data to prioritize improvements.
- Turn data into action by defining meaningful KPIs, evaluating performance, identifying opportunities, and communicating recommendations to business stakeholders.
- Partner across Sales, Digital Marketing, global teams, and other functions, building alignment and leading strategic initiatives through influence.
- Develop targeted demand-generation and customer-journey initiatives that connect digital engagement with measurable commercial outcomes.
- Support customer, partner, and internal enablement as Alfa Laval evolves its e-commerce capabilities and ways of working.
- Manage budgets and evaluate the business impact and return of e-commerce initiatives.

- Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional and senior stakeholders without direct authority in a matrixed organization.
