Ecommerce Experience Manager

Ecommerce Experience Manager Denver, CO (Northfield) | Full-time | Reports to: Lindsey Price, Co-Founder & CEO About Denver Modern Denver Modern is a founder-led, bootstrapped premium furniture brand headquartered in Denver. We build solid-wood, real-upholstery, contract-grade pieces designed to age beautifully over decades — proudly anti-fast-furniture. We’re on a $25M → $50M+ revenue arc, and denvermodern.com is the single most important surface where that brand promise gets proven and monetized. This role owns it end-to-end. The Role We’re hiring a best-in-class Shopify Plus Ecommerce manager who thinks in systems — someone who can write, test, and deliver code across one of the most technically complex Shopify Plus builds in premium furniture: configurable upholstery, deep swatch and material logic, custom PDP components, third-party attribution, and a growing app stack that all has to load fast, convert, and report accurately. This is a coding role first. denvermodern.com is not a template site — it’s a production Shopify Plus application with real complexity, and you should be able to defend it end to end: Liquid, JSON templates, and Online Store 2.0 architecture across sections, blocks, and app blocks; extending the theme through metaobjects, metafields, and app-block architecture without turning it into spaghetti; knowing when to solve a problem in the theme, in an app, or in a Shopify Function (cart transforms, discount functions, delivery customizations, bundling logic); and integrating and auditing third-party layers like Klaviyo and Blotout — understanding what each costs in performance and how to sandbox or replace anything that misbehaves. You’re the technical counterweight to a brand- and creative-led founder team — translating merchandising and campaign decisions into clean architecture, making the build-vs-buy calls, running CRO with an agency, protecting the data pipes behind every marketing decision, and driving traditional and AI-era SEO. You hold a high visual bar for the site, because heirloom furniture can’t be sold from a page that looks like a template. This role is scoped today as the founding technical seat for denvermodern.com, with a clear path to broader technical leadership as we scale — eventually the systems around Shopify (ERP, 3PL/WMS, trade/B2B, internal tooling) and a small technical team. What You’ll Own • Shopify Plus engineering & site quality: theme architecture (Liquid, Online Store 2.0, sections/blocks, metaobjects/metafields), Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, and performance (Core Web Vitals, script governance) — backed by real QA and release discipline (automated regression testing, staged rollouts, launch-day checklists with zero tolerance for broken links, missing images, or pricing errors). • Product data integrity: SKUs, variants, metafields, pricing, and specs — with templates and standards so every PDP performs consistently at scale. • CRO strategy: own the agency relationship, testing roadmap, and hypothesis quality against real CVR and revenue targets. • Marketing data infrastructure: partner on Meta Pixel/CAPI, Klaviyo events, GA4, and consent — you’re the site-side expert on what could break signal and why. • SEO & AI discoverability: own technical and on-page SEO, plus how Denver Modern shows up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini answers — structured data, llms.txt, crawler access, and answer-shaped content. • External developer management: scope, brief, and code-review contract Shopify developers against budget, holding their work to your own standard. • AI-native workflow: use AI daily in your own coding (Cursor, Claude Code) and build repeatable AI-assisted processes the team can reuse. What You Bring • 5+ years operating a complex Shopify Plus site, ideally in premium, considered-purchase, or configurable-product categories. • Best-in-class Shopify Plus development: Liquid, Online Store 2.0, Storefront/Admin APIs, metaobjects/metafields, Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, and the app ecosystem. • Strong front-end performance discipline and real QA/release rigor. • CRO literacy and comfort partnering with an agency on hypothesis-driven, revenue-tied testing. • Working knowledge of the marketing data stack (Meta Pixel/CAPI, Klaviyo, GA4, consent mode) and solid SEO fundamentals. • Design judgment — you can explain why a module does or doesn’t read as premium, and hold that bar on everything that ships. • Systems thinking beyond the storefront, with daily fluency in modern AI coding and workflow tools. • Nice to have: furniture, home, or luxury ecommerce background; Shopify Plus and knowledge of Liquid Code; server-side tracking platforms; trade/B2B or financing platforms. Role Details Location: Primarily in-person at our Northfield, Denver campus. Schedule: Full-time, 4-day work week. Compensation: $100,000+ base, depending on experience, plus a 10% annual performance bonus tied to company and site KPIs. Benefits: Health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k); PTO; employee discount; 4-day work week; one remote day per week after one year. Why This Role Matters You’ll own the single most important platform in the business, right at the inflection point from $25M to $50M+. If you want to write beautiful Shopify code, ship it on a site that renders like the luxury brand it represents, see revenue move the next morning, and grow into the technical leader of a fast-scaling premium brand — this is the seat. Denver Modern is an equal-opportunity employer. We build furniture that lasts and teams that do too.
