Our first shop opened in 1981 in Penzance, selling durable clothing to artists and mariners. Today, we’re a modern, data‑enabled omnichannel retailer with a growing international presence. We blend heritage with innovation, designing timely clothing made from responsibly sourced fabrics, and using technology to improve how we operate, grow and serve customers.
As we scale in the UK, North America and Europe (primarily through third‑party partnerships), we’re investing in data, systems and digital capability to support our people and our growth. It’s an exciting time to join us!
As our Digital Trade Assistant, you’ll play an important part in keeping our websites running smoothly across the UK and international markets. You’ll help make sure products are set up correctly, presented clearly and updated on time so customers can find what they’re looking for. You’ll work closely with the Digital Trading Manager and teams across content, marketing, user experience and merchandising to support day‑to‑day trading activity.
This role is an exciting opportunity for someone building their career in e‑commerce and keen to learn how online trading, merchandising and digital performance all come together to drive sales.
Full‑time, permanent role. As part of our Seasalt Connected approach to ways of working, this role will be based flexibly across our Cornwall head office locations (minimum 40% of working week but the nature of some roles may require more working time in our head offices) and remotely within the UK.
