Owns product listings, categorisation and merchandising across your store.

2

Manages listings, pricing and performance across Amazon, eBay and other marketplaces.

"

"We'd used a task-based VA who just uploaded whatever we sent. Our Ecommerce manager from Aspire actually runs the Shopify store — pricing, listings, inventory, the lot — and our conversion rate has genuinely improved. It cost about 60% less than a UK hire and I've stopped micromanaging the catalogue."

"Managing Amazon, eBay and our own site was a full-time job nobody had time for. Our offshore manager keeps all three in sync, sorts our returns and reports on what's actually selling. Roughly 62% cheaper than hiring here, and stock errors have basically disappeared."

"Product launches used to be chaos across our platforms. Aspire's manager now plans and runs them properly, and our WooCommerce catalogue is finally tidy. The saving was around 60%, but the real value is not worrying about the store every week."

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring an offshore Ecommerce Manager with Aspire.

A UK Ecommerce manager costs well beyond the salary once you add employer NI, pension and overheads, and agencies charge on retainer. With Aspire you pay one all-inclusive monthly fee and save up to 62%.

  • Junior (1–2 yrs): about £2,772/month in-house vs £1,250/month with Aspire
  • Mid-level (3–5 yrs): about £4,158/month vs £1,500/month
  • Senior (6+ yrs): about £5,544/month vs £2,000/month

An Ecommerce manager runs the day-to-day operation of an online store: product listings and catalogue, pricing and promotions, order processing and inventory, marketplace management, and reporting on sales and conversion. A senior one also sets strategy and leads product launches.

A virtual assistant typically handles individual tasks — uploading a product, updating a price — as instructed. An Ecommerce manager owns the store’s operations end to end: catalogue, orders, inventory, marketplaces and reporting, working with less day-to-day direction.

Yes. Your manager works remotely from our India office, aligned to your UK hours, inside your Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon or eBay account, with NDA and secure access set up from day one.

Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and BigCommerce for your own store, plus Amazon Seller Central, eBay, Etsy and TikTok Shop for marketplaces, with Linnworks, Brightpearl or ChannelAdvisor for multi-channel order and inventory management. We match managers to the platforms you already run.

A dedicated full-time manager, all employer costs, workstation, HR, recruitment and a UK account manager, in one monthly fee. The work spans product listings, catalogue management, order and inventory processing, marketplace management, pricing and promotions, and sales reporting.

Yes. Mid and senior managers routinely run listings, pricing and performance across your own store and marketplaces together, keeping stock and pricing in sync so you don’t oversell or undercut yourself.

Usually within about four weeks, from briefing through sourcing, shortlist and interview to onboarding. We handle the recruitment so you only spend time on the final interviews.
