This Isn’t The Devil Wears Prada

No stilettos. No designer meltdowns. No one yelling for a latte.

This is online retail, fast-paced, detail-obsessed, data-fuelled, and always on the move.

At MyRunway, you don’t watch from the sidelines. You’ll be part of the action, helping to launch products, manage live offers, and keep the customer experience sharp from the backend. You'll learn how a real ecommerce business works, and how your work directly affects what sells.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Uploading products and offers — fast and flawless

  • Sourcing images, writing copy, and double-checking every detail

  • Spotting and fixing listing glitches before anyone notices

  • Managing stock sheets like a pro

  • Chatting with suppliers to keep everything on track

  • Digging into site data to help boost sales

  • Teaming up with Supply, Marketing, and Warehouse squads

  • Keeping the site sharp, shoppable, and smooth

  • Crushing the admin that keeps ecommerce ticking

What You’ll Learn:

  • How an online store actually runs behind the scenes

  • What goes into launching a product from supplier to site

  • How data, pricing, stock, and content impact what sells

  • Why attention to detail and speed matter in the ecommerce world

You’ll Thrive If:

  • You’re detail-obsessed and enjoy the admin side of things

  • You’re organised, curious, and love ticking things off

  • You’re tech-comfy and not scared of spreadsheets

  • You’re proactive and love figuring things out

  • You’re keen to break into ecommerce and learn as much as you can

Bonus Points If:

  • You’ve studied Business, Retail or something analytical

  • You’ve got retail admin experience

  • You’ve worked in a fast-paced environment 

  • You’ve got a thing for systems, tools, and efficiency

This role is a real-world crash course in ecommerce.

You’ll get real exposure, real responsibility, and real insight into how an online store actually runs, and how your work makes an impact.
