We are moving our storefronts onto one shared Shopify platform and bringing ownership of it in-house. You will architect that platform, lead the migrations onto it with an agency partner, and then own it: the code, the releases and the cost. This is a player-coach role. You write production code and you lead the engineers and partners who build with you. RESPONSIBILITIES:  Architecture and roadmap. One base theme and back end, with brands expressed through presets, settings and metafields rather than forked code, and international handled through Shopify Markets. Lead the migrations. Start with our UK/EU business moving from Magento to Shopify, then consolidate the remaining storefronts onto the same base. Plan, sequence and report on the program. Manage development partners. Scope, estimate, review and accept agency work against written statements of work, track spend, and bring capability in-house over time. Integrations and data. Own the Shopify side of our NetSuite, Snowflake and GA4 connections so orders, inventory, pricing, customers and reporting stay clean. Releases and platform health. Repository, environments, CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring and peak-season change freezes. Keep site speed, uptime, app count and platform spend moving the right way. Build the team. Hire a small engineering team and an AI-assisted workflow (Claude Code or similar) for specs, code, tests and first-pass review, with engineers owning every release decision.
