Role overview

What you'll need

• Experience with an e-commerce platform such as Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento
• Confident writing clear, accurate product copy
• Comfortable in Excel or Google Sheets for bulk product uploads
• Attention to detail on pricing, stock and product data
• Customer-focused written English

Nice to have

• Exposure to marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay
• Basic image editing in Canva or Photoshop
• Familiarity with Google Analytics

What's on offer

• 100% remote, working from anywhere in South Africa
• UK business hours, 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST)
• Direct exposure to an established UK business
• Long-term, stable placement with room to grow
