eCommerce Placement places account management, strategy, and media talent at digital agencies specializing in eCommerce clients. We understand what agency eCommerce roles require because we have spent 15 years recruiting across both sides of the brand-agency relationship. Contingency-based. No placement, no fee.
The Role
Digital agencies serving eCommerce clients need a very specific hiring profile: candidates who combine functional depth in eCommerce-specific channels (paid media, SEO, analytics, marketplace) with the client management skills, communication style, and multi-account agility that agency environments demand. Brand-side eCommerce candidates often underestimate the client management load. Agency candidates from non-eCommerce verticals often lack the platform fluency. The right hire sits at the intersection of both, and finding them requires a recruiter who understands the agency operating model and the eCommerce technology landscape equally well.
Our approach. We work on contingency, meaning you pay our fee only when we successfully place a candidate. No retainer. No upfront cost. Our fee is 20% of the placed candidate's first-year base salary, invoiced on their start date. Every placement includes a replacement guarantee.
Why Specialize
An exceptional paid media practitioner who cannot manage client relationships, navigate scope conversations, or present performance data compellingly will struggle in an agency environment. We screen for client management aptitude and communication skills as primary criteria alongside functional eCommerce expertise, not as afterthoughts.
Agencies serving eCommerce clients need team members who understand eCommerce-specific platforms and metrics: Google Shopping, Meta dynamic ads, Klaviyo, Klaviyo flows, Amazon DSP, Northbeam, and the broader eCommerce tech stack. Generic digital marketing candidates without this fluency require longer ramp times and deliver weaker results for eCommerce clients. We screen for platform depth from the start.
Agency eCommerce roles require candidates who can manage multiple client contexts simultaneously, switch priorities cleanly, and maintain quality across accounts without losing the thread on any of them. This is a cognitive and organizational skill that not all eCommerce practitioners have. We identify it in screening and it meaningfully predicts agency performance.
