Shopify Ecommerce Product Owner (Replatforming & Site Launches)

At UN/COMMON, we’re not your typical Shopify e-commerce agency. We bring bold, strategic thinking to mission-first brands and deliver real growth through meaningful digital experiences. Our team of creatives, developers, and strategists is passionate about challenging conventions and producing exceptional work while keeping things fun, fast-moving, and future-focused.

The Opportunity
Our team is growing, and we’re looking for an Shopify Ecommerce Product Owner who is ready to drive high-impact digital initiatives and deliver seamless ecommerce experiences for some of the world’s fastest-growing brands. In this role, you’ll own complex Shopify Plus replatforming projects, data migrations, and site launches from end to end. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across UX, development, QA, and business teams to turn strategic goals into actionable plans and deliver exceptional results. You’ll manage projects ranging from high-velocity startups to established enterprise brands, helping to solve complex technical challenges and ensure every launch is a success. This is a collaborative, fast-paced role for someone who loves solving technical challenges, managing details, and guiding teams to success. If you thrive in an environment where you’re the voice of the customer and the bridge between strategy and execution, we’d love to connect.

Who You Are
You’re a strategic thinker with an eye for detail and a passion for delivering top-tier ecommerce experiences. You’re equally comfortable digging into technical conversations, managing complex timelines, and communicating with non-technical stakeholders. You’re comfortable being client-facing, presenting plans, and guiding clients through complex technical decisions. You bring strong organizational skills, a collaborative spirit, and a relentless drive to get things done. You love turning business goals into digital solutions and thrive in fast-moving, agile environments.
