Job Introduction
Working as part of our award winning, family-owned retail jewellers as eCommerce Test Analyst, you will be part of our ever growing eCommerce Team ensuring a customer journey that is just as unforgettable online, as it is in store.
As eCommerce Test Analyst, you will be the principal tester within the eCommerce team, playing a crucial role in the delivery of technical eCommerce projects. This is a fast-paced environment, with multiple projects running in parallel, offering experience in various key areas of eCommerce such as payment services, delivery, search and UI/UX.
