E-commerce Manager

As E-commerce Manager, you will take ownership of the day-to-day operations of our largest sales channel, enabling the commercial success of our growing range of products. Your primary focus will be on maintaining and optimising the channel to drive our growth, owning product launches and commercial campaigns. In addition to this, you will input into user experience, conversion rate optimisation, and A/B testing to implement strategies that enhance site performance and increase average order value. Mous’s mission is to become a household brand in tech accessories, so we're looking for an exceptional individual with an entrepreneurial mindset that can drive our brand forward. If you want to have a tangible impact on the business bottom line, have the autonomy to make key decisions and get first-hand experience building a brand into a household name, you should apply for this role.

📱 About Us

We are Mous. (Pronounced mouse, not moose.) Our vision is for everyone to live better with technology. With an in-house team of expert product engineers and designers, we’re constantly evolving in a rapidly changing market. We make high-performance tech accessories and innovative product ecosystems, crafted with purpose, and demonstrate their value through impactful content. We believe in show, not tell, so we produce extreme content to prove what our products can do, including throwing phones from helicopters, cranes and even the roof at Google HQ in California.

We started by designing a phone case that focused on high performance, optimal functionality and considered style. We have since expanded our product range to include ecosystems of MagSafe® compatible magnetic accessories, mechanical mounts for content creation and bikes, ultra-fast wireless chargers and backpacks that all adhere to these principles.

Our products are for risk-takers and thrill-seekers as well as tech-lovers and city dwellers. We create solutions to the problems that come from busy lives and outlandish adventures. No matter what your everyday life looks like you can trust our products to expand the experiences you have with the tech you use the most.
