The Opportunity
Fast-paced, growing ecommerce business looking for a hands-on IT Director from an ecommerce background to lead a full tech transformation.
Systems are complex, with a mix of legacy and modern tech, minimal structure, and growing commercial demands. This is a high-impact role for someone who can drive technical and cultural change—bringing strategic direction, improved processes, faster delivery cycles, and the leadership needed to grow and structure a high-performing tech function.
You will oversee everything from ecommerce platforms to internal admin tools, infrastructure and cyber security, while directly enabling performance in ecommerce, operations, and marketing.

* Define and deliver a tech roadmap that improves speed, stability, and scalability.
* Build and manage a hybrid UK/India tech team across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
* Oversee IT infrastructure (Office 365, VPN servers, Zendesk, Digital Ocean, Cloudflare).
* Drive cybersecurity, access control, disaster recovery, and data protection.
* Align tech with commercial goals in ecommerce, ops, marketing, and customer service.
* Lay the foundation for future data and analytics capabilities.
* Backend: Laravel (primary), bespoke PHP, .NET, Classic ASP (legacy)
* Frontend: JS/CSS stack with custom integrations
* Hosting: Digital Ocean + Cloudflare
* Infrastructure: Internal servers accessed via VPN
What You Bring
* Proven leadership in ecommerce or fast-moving tech environments.
* Strong PHP/Laravel skills and experience phasing out legacy platforms.
* Infrastructure and security know-how (hosting, cloud, cyber best practices).
* Experience managing hybrid/offshore teams.
* Strategic mindset with a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach.
