House of Fraser – Head of eCommerce | Job Listings | E-consultancy.com

Jun 21, ’07 9:48 AM

House of Fraser, one of my clients, is looking to recruit its senior e-marketing team:

House of Fraser, the only nationwide UK destination department store for premium brands and designers, is imminently to revise its eCommerce activities with a major new transactional website, built on a best-of-breed platform. This site will be the UK’s “house of brands” and a premium shopping destination. We are now seeking ambitious, commercial and dynamic people to play an integral part in the launch and rapid further development of this significant online retail initiative.

These roles sit at the commercial heart of the business and form the vanguard in delivering the ambitious growth targets to which the Board is fully committed.

By joining House of Fraser now you will have a career-defining opportunity to create a highly visible, class-leading operation – at a time of growth at House of Fraser and within the eCommerce industry.

In addition to the Head of eCommerce role, we’re also seeking an eCommerce Manager (the senior online merchandising role) and an eCommerce Marketing Manager (to own the customer experience and ensure that acquisition, conversion and retention activities are optimised).

These are not roles for the faint-hearted, and your sizeable ambition must be dwarfed by your patent ability. In return this is a chance to write your name on the UK’s eCommerce scene: no more cranking the handle in an outdated, bureacratic, slow-moving retailer – a new platform, full Board support, zero politics, great brands and a shared vision to make an impact all await you :)

Speak to Ann Jamieson at Price Jamieson or ping me with any questions. Nail this opportunity before the summer holiday, that’s my advice :)

House of Fraser: Head of Operations

Head of Operations | Job Listings | E-consultancy.com

Here’s another House of Fraser role: Head of Operations for the eCommerce team.

This is just a stunning job: you’ll have all of the reins for the service components in your hands: technical architecture, contact centres, logistics, warehousing, application support… Sigh: a job for a serious, commercial operator who’d relish this career-defining opportunity to create and then ruthlessly develop a stand-out web business. The ambition is nothing less than to lead the UK’s retail sector: since you’ll know our competition you will not take that ambition lightly.

Applications etc should be as set out in the advert and Ann Jamieson is handling responses and aiding selection. However, if you want to get the inside track or have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Jobs for House of Fraser: Web Copywriter

Jun 21, ’07 9:29 AM

Web Copywriter | Job Listings | E-consultancy.com

I have been working for the last few months with House of Fraser, the UK’s destination department store for premium brands and designers, to launch their multichannel capability with a major web launch.

To borrow an American phrase, the ‘rubber’s about to hit the road’ and HOF is now recruiting the key members of the team.

Admittedly I’m biased, but I feel that these are great roles with the opportunity to make a major impact in etailing. HOF is gloriously politics-free, has a real ‘can do’ feel and the etail activities have the full and visible support of the Board. It’s an opportunity to really crack on, taking a lovely new platform as a starting point and building on that to meet some excitingly ambitious targets :)

Here’s the blurb on the Web Copywriter:

* Combining creative flair with ruthless procedural approaches and deep analytical rigour, you will at once create sparkling copy owning the linguistic tone of our brand online while setting standards for others to follow while continually experimenting with, and optimising, our copy to maximise profit.
* This is not a role for a ‘woolly creative’ or poet aspirant. Rather, it’s for a cunning, rigorous wordsmith who will charm the money willingly from our customers, delight our prestige suppliers with the presentation of their products, tweak AdWords and page copy to outperform our competitors’ conversion rates and whose curiosity and excitement with the commercial impact of aweinspiring prose is undimmed.
* Needless to say, you will have a comfortable fluency and you will not wear your grammatical precision in too stuffy a manner.
* Our competitors will try and poach you every week, and colleagues will wonder why you don’t leave to found a highflying creative agency. Only we will know that we hold your family hostage and have chained you discretely to the desk…

Feel free to ping me with any questions.
