Store maintenance is infinite and always deferred
Every ecommerce owner has the same list: product descriptions that were never finished, images at the wrong size, collections that have not been merchandised since launch, a promotion that needed building last week, stock levels that are wrong on the marketplace.
None of it is urgent, and all of it costs money — in conversion, in oversells, in the promotion that went out late.
A dedicated store manager makes the list finite. It is one of the most immediately measurable offshore roles in any industry, because the work is visible on the site the same day.
What they run
- Product listings — New products built end to end — copy from your brief, images sized and named, variants, tags, metafields, SEO fields.
- Merchandising — Collections curated and re-sorted, bestsellers surfaced, out-of-stocks demoted, cross-sells set.
- Promotions — Discounts, bundles and campaign pages built and scheduled, then checked live and taken down on time.
- Inventory hygiene — Stock levels reconciled across store and marketplaces, oversells prevented, low-stock flagged for reordering.
- Marketplace sync — Listings maintained on Amazon, eBay and other channels with pricing and content consistent.
- Store QA — Broken links, missing images, failing filters and checkout issues found by routine checking rather than customer complaint.
- Reporting — Sales by product and collection, conversion, and what stock is dead — weekly rather than never.
What stays with you

- Ad spendBuilding a campaign is not authorising a budget. Spend authority stays with you.
- Brand voice sign-offThey write to your brief and guidelines; new positioning is your call.
- Payment and payout settingsNo changes to gateways, bank details or payout configuration.

Questions
Frequently asked
Can one person handle multiple channels?
For a small-to-mid catalogue, yes — a full-time person can typically run a Shopify store plus one or two marketplaces. Large catalogues or heavy marketplace requirements usually need the lister role split out.
How do we brief product copy without writing it ourselves?
Give them a template, three examples you like and the source material — supplier copy, specs, photos. Ecommerce copy is patterned, so once they have your voice in three examples the rest is consistent. Review the first ten closely.
What access do they need?
Staff-level access to your store admin with the specific permissions the role requires — products, collections, discounts, orders — and no access to payment or payout settings. Never share the owner login.
How much does it cost?
From $14/hr + GST full-time — up to 70% less than a local hire, with no placement fee. Run your numbers →
Full-time, part-time or fewer hours?
Forty hours a week is our standard engagement and twenty is common. Below that we look at fifteen, ten or even five hours to get a role started, priced accordingly — a smaller engagement costs a little more per hour because the recruiting and management effort is the same. Plenty of clients begin at ten hours and grow the role once they see what comes off their desk.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months, then month to month. It's the same runway you'd give a new local hire to learn your systems, your clients and your standards — and the team members who get a fair run are the ones who stay for years. There are no exit penalties at any point, and if the issue is the person rather than the role, the first-week refund and free replacement cover that separately.
How do you handle confidentiality?
The same way you'd treat any remote team member. Every placement signs an NDA and a confidentiality clause before day one, and they work inside your systems — your email, your CRM, your file storage — so you control what they can see and can revoke access instantly. No client data is stored on our side.
