  • Coach teams on decision‑making, prioritisation and data storytelling; contribute to playbooks and templates.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, speed and high craftsmanship.
  • Performance, Analytics & Insight

  • Own KPI frameworks (revenue / ROAS, CPA, MER, CVR, AOV, LTV, organic sessions / visibility, tech health).
  • Direct analytics setup (GA4, GTM), product feed hygiene, conversion tracking and event taxonomy.
  • Build concise, insight‑led reporting; translate data into decisions and next actions.
  • Growth & Commercials

  • Identify expansion opportunities (new channels, CRO, feed optimisation, internationalisation).
  • Support proposals, pitches and forecasting for new business and upsell.
  • What You’ll BringMust‑Have Experience

  • 7+ years in digital performance roles spanning SEO, PPC and Web / CRO , with at least 3 years in a client‑facing strategy lead / lead consultant capacity for e‑commerce brands.
  • Proven ownership of multi‑channel roadmaps delivering measurable revenue growth.
  • Hands‑on credibility : comfortable reviewing SEO technical audits, building / QAing paid campaigns, and shaping web backlogs with developers.
  • Technical Fluency

  • SEO : Technical audits (CWV, rendering, crawl / indexation, schema), content strategy, internal linking, international SEO.
  • PPC / Paid Social : Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, LinkedIn / TikTok (as relevant), feed management, audiences, creative testing, budgeting and pacing.
  • Web / CRO : Shopify / WordPress familiarity, UX heuristics, experimentation, landing page briefs, basic HTML / CSS / JS literacy helpful.
  • Analytics : GA4, GTM, Looker Studio; comfort with attribution concepts and testing.
  • Communication & Ways of Working

  • Faultless English written and spoken; concise storytelling and deck craft.
  • Exceptionally organised; able to run multiple accounts across time zones without dropping balls.
  • Startup mindset : ownership, bias to action, comfortable with ambiguity and context‑switching.
  • Location & Hours

  • Bengaluru (Bangalore) preferred. Remote within India considered.
  • Willingness to align hours for regular overlap with UK (GMT / BST) and US (ET / PT) clients.
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience with international rollouts, multi‑store / multi‑language SEO.
  • Familiarity with ecommerce platforms (e.g., Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce), product schema, and PMax best practices.
  • Experience shaping QA standards and delivery playbooks in an agency.
  • Public speaking or thought leadership (webinars, blogs, events).
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation with performance incentives.
  • Remote‑friendly, flexible working with a trusting, outcomes‑first culture.
  • Direct impact : shape how a growing agency delivers strategy and performance.
  • Professional development budget; exposure to UK / US e‑commerce brands.
  • Laptop and essential work tool reimbursements where applicable.
  • How to Apply

    Send your CV and a short note / cover letter to (subject : Digital Strategy Lead – Your Name ), including :

  • 2–3 concise case studies showing cross‑channel impact (problem → strategy → actions → outcomes).
  • A sample deck or reporting snapshot that demonstrates your storytelling and rigour.
