E-Commerce Team Lead Website & UX/UI

You combine a passion for customer journeys with a deep understanding of UX/UI, website strategy, and team development. You thrive in a fast-paced e-commerce environment and are ready to lead a team of experts across UX/UI design and website operations.

Are you excited to create a seamless, inspiring and high-converting digital experience for a global D2C brand made with exciting products made of natural materials?

Then join our #TeamHolzkern and lead our website into their next evolution.

Our website performance and UX/UI strategy are in your hands:

• Own the UX/UI strategy and website performance with a sharp focus on increasing revenue per session. You understand what truly drives impact — and guide your team to make high-leverage, data-informed decisions that improve business outcomes.
• Continuously analyze, understand, and optimize our most important customer journeys across all onsite touchpoints – in close alignment with the Performance Marketing team.
• Lead and develop a team of UX/UI Designers and Website Specialists, ensuring strategic clarity, growth, and a high standard of execution.
• Ensure that our onsite experience is seamless, inspiring, and conversion-focused, from first impression to checkout.
• Identify and prioritize high-impact website initiatives based on data, customer insights, and campaign plans — not guesswork.
• Drive efficiency and effectiveness in website implementation through smart workflows, modular systems, automation, and agile execution. You know when to speed up — and when to slow down to get it right.
• Act as a strategic sparring partner for UX/UI concepts, page design, and structure — across landing pages, navigation, PLPs, and PDPs.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other departments 
• Understand implementation efforts, dependencies and constraints — from CMS structures to A/B testing platforms — and challenge timelines constructively to protect quality.
• Set and review UX/UI standards, templates, and testing protocols to continuously raise the bar for usability, brand expression, and performance.
• Bring a sharp eye for detail, an analytical mindset, and a clear sense of priority — turning insights into measurable action.

• You bring 2-4 years of professional experience in e-commerce, digital product management or website strategy – including at least 1 year in a team leadership or senior ownership role is a big plus
• Excellent English skills (internal communication), German is a plus
• Experience in e-commerce, ideally with a focus on onsite optimization, digital journeys, or website management
• Solid understanding of CMS systems, AB testing tools, and staging workflows (Magento experience is a plus)
• High UX/UI literacy and an analytical mindset to assess user flows, conversion drivers, and design effectiveness
• Experience in team leadership and people development is a plus – you enjoy building, motivating and challenging individuals to grow
• Ability to evaluate project complexity, assess risks, and challenge time estimates (without needing to execute yourself)
• Strategic mindset with the ability to connect business goals to digital execution
• Confident communication skills and cross-functional alignment capabilities
• Bonus points: experience with tools like Figma, GA4 or alternatives, Kameleoon and Magento

• Generous employee discounts for you and your loved ones.
• Attractive flexitime work model with home office option.
• Two legendary company events with the whole #TeamHolzkern - all inclusive!
• Regular team events with your team throughout the year.
• State of the art technical equipment (MacBook).
• Extensive Onboarding: From day 1 on you will have a buddy who will show you everything you need to know and be there for you should you encounter problems. Your colleagues will teach you everything specific to Holzkern that you need to succeed in your new job. 
• Exciting Tasks & Personal Growth: Trust is always first for us at Holzkern, which is why we give you big and exciting projects from the start, so you can quickly unfold your potential. This will give you the opportunity to grow and learn super quickly.
