About Us

HireHawk connects talented professionals with growing international businesses, creating opportunities to work remotely with ambitious teams.

About the Role

We're looking for a E-commerce Operations Manager to take ownership of day-to-day website operations across the UK and US markets.

• Support A/B testing initiatives by launching experiments, monitoring results, and documenting findings alongside the Growth team.
• Analyze customer behavior using GA4, Microsoft Clarity, and Fairing to identify friction points and recommend conversion improvements.
