About the role

As Merchandising & Discovery Lead, you will take ownership of how Pierce’s extensive assortment is presented and discovered across its different markets. Your mission is to make sure customers are presented with the right products, in the right order and in the right context – while building scalable and automated ways of working that can support Pierce’s continued international expansion.

Rather than manually merchandising each market, you will develop the rules, logic and automation behind how products are presented. This includes areas such as onsite search, PLPs and product ranking, recommendations, campaign rotation, cross-sell and upsell, with factors such as customer behaviour, stock, margin and local market needs guiding how products are prioritized.

Automation, technology and AI will be important enablers in the role. Pierce is expanding rapidly and today operates local sites across around 30 markets, making scalable solutions increasingly important. You will work closely with Tech and BI/Data to develop smarter and more scalable ways of working and explore how AI-driven solutions can improve product discovery and reduce manual work. With a newly launched e-commerce platform, you will have the opportunity to help build much of this from the ground up rather than simply manage existing processes.

You will be part of the new Site & Conversion team, reporting to the Site & Conversion Lead. You will work closely with a UX Designer as well as Category, Marketing, Tech and Customer Analytics to continuously improve how customers discover and interact with Pierce’s assortment.

Key responsibilities:

Own and develop the logic for how Pierce’s assortment is presented and discovered across markets

Optimize onsite search, filtering, product ranking and recommendations based on commercial and customer data

Develop scalable rules for campaign rotation, cross-sell, upsell and product prioritization

Drive automation of merchandising processes and explore relevant applications of AI

Use data and insights to continuously improve product visibility, conversion and commercial performance

Collaborate closely with UX, Category, CRM, Marketing, Tech and BI/Data to develop and implement new solutions

Your background

We are looking for an analytical and commercially minded e-commerce professional with experience in digital merchandising, product discovery or a similar area. You understand how assortment, customer behaviour and commercial priorities come together onsite and are comfortable working hands-on with both tools and data. You have a strong interest in technology and automation and enjoy finding smarter and more scalable ways of working. You are proactive and comfortable taking ownership, with the ability to move between commercial thinking and the technical details required to turn ideas into working solutions.

We would like you to have:

Solid experience within e-commerce, digital merchandising, product discovery or a closely related area

Hands-on experience with onsite search, filtering, product feeds, product ranking, PLPs, recommendations and/or relevant merchandising tools

Strong analytical skills and the ability to make data-driven commercial decisions

Understanding of commercial factors such as conversion, margin, stock availability and cross-/upsell

Experience working with automation and an interest in how AI can be applied within e-commerce

Experience collaborating closely with Tech, BI/Data and commercial teams

Experience from international or multi-market e-commerce is an advantage

An interest in building and improving new ways of working rather than simply maintaining existing processes

Location & start date

The position is at Pierce's headquarters in central Stockholm. Start date by agreement.
