About The Position

The Director of E-Commerce owns Sea to Summit’s direct revenue channels — DTC (seatosummit.com) and Amazon North America — and is accountable for how the STS brand comes to life online. This role combines P&L ownership, site product management, digital merchandising, and customer experience into one focused mandate. STS.com is Sea to Summit’s primary global digital home. The North America site sets the template and direction that AU and EMEA regions follow, making this role’s influence global in scope. The Director treats the website as a living product — owning the roadmap, commercial architecture, and digital shelf — ensuring outdoor enthusiasts can easily find, understand, and choose the right STS gear. Critically, the site is not simply a shopping destination: it is the brand’s most powerful expression, responsible for inspiring confidence, communicating expertise, and guiding consumers to the right product for their adventure. This role partners closely with the Global Digital Marketing Sr. Manager, who owns traffic and acquisition. The Director of E-Commerce owns what happens after the click. They are supported by the E-Commerce Coordinator, who handles day-to-day site execution and Amazon product setup.
