CRM Manager Salaries in Ecommerce | Are You Paying Enough to Keep Them?

In eCommerce, a strong CRM manager can lift repeat purchase rate, improve email revenue, tighten customer journeys, and keep loyalty activity on track. Yet many brands still benchmark the role too loosely. They compare it with a general marketing manager, use a broad national average, then wonder why shortlisted candidates drop out or leave within a year. That is usually where the problem starts. Current UK salary data puts CRM manager pay in a wide band. IT Jobs Watch shows a UK median of £55,000, with London median pay at £61,250. Glassdoor’s London estimate sits at £52,209, while other market […]

How to Choose a Recruitment Agency?

Choosing the wrong recruitment agency can create problems well beyond a delayed hire. It can drain time, weaken the shortlist, and leave you restarting the process weeks later with less confidence and more pressure than you had at the start. That risk is even higher in eCommerce, where roles that look straightforward on paper are often far more nuanced in practice. A Head of eCommerce, CRM Manager, Trading Lead, Product Manager, Paid Media Manager, or Adobe Commerce Developer may all sit under broad digital or commercial labels, but each role demands a very different skill set and level of experience.

Top 5 Things to Watch Out for When Starting With a UK Recruitment Agency

A UK recruitment agency can improve a search quickly. It can also waste weeks before you realise the problem starts with the agency itself. The pattern usually becomes clear quite early in the search. The first call sounds polished, the language sounds right, and the agency seems confident it understands your sector. Then the shortlist lands and the gaps start to show. The titles look close enough, though the fit feels off, feedback begins to slow, the role loses momentum, and stronger candidates start to move elsewhere. That risk tends to grow faster in eCommerce, where roles often overlap and […]

8 Red Flags in a Recruitment Agency Contract to Avoid

The agency talks about reach, network, and speed. A week later, the shortlist feels generic, feedback drifts, and the role starts losing traction in the market. Here are eight things worth checking before you commit to a recruitment agency contract. 1. The Recruitment Agency Contract Starts Before the Brief Is Clear If the agency is keen to get terms signed before the brief is properly shaped, pause there. […]

What Should You Pay a PPC Specialist? Honest Benchmarks for eCommerce Brands

Hiring a PPC manager gets expensive when the salary does not match the brief. That is where a lot of eCommerce brands get stuck. They want someone who can manage Google Ads, improve Shopping performance, handle reporting, influence budget decisions, and spot what is hurting margin. Then they attach a package built for a much narrower role. Across the UK, salary expectations for PPC managers and PPC specialists vary based on responsibility, channel scope, commercial input, and the level of ownership attached to the role. For eCommerce brands, that matters because paid search often touches revenue, margin, stock, promotions, and […]
