Shopify Developer

4 Month Contract, with possibility to extend.

Have you heard about Everist? We’re a 15x award-winning clean haircare company on a mission to create the future of beauty. We launched in 2021 with a patent-pending innovation – the first-ever waterless shampoo, conditioner and body wash concentrates, which have since been named one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions and Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas. We care a lot about what goes into our products and the impact on the planet that they leave behind. We also care a lot about giving you the fullest, shiniest, healthiest-looking hair of your life thanks to our one-of-a-kind cream-concentrate formulas and their unique benefits for scalp health and healthy hair growth.

We want to hear about you!
Do you want to help solve the global plastic-waste crisis and also help build a company focused on the latest and greatest beauty and personal care innovations? Cool, us too. Here’s a couple other things we’re looking for as we build our team.

  • You love to learn and do the work - we’re a start-up, it’s all hands on deck
  • You are organized, analytical and great at finding efficiencies and implementing improvements
  • You are curious by nature and love to experiment and see what sticks
  • You’re into the details, and either have a passion to code or a strong creative eye
  • You are innovation obsessed – you love to challenge the status quo and you find inspiration everywhere
  • You’re a storyteller, community builder and approach things with a ‘hacker’ mentality
  • You believe in playing fair, transparent communication and loving what you do
  • A passion for sustainability, culture and wellness are key, but progress over perfection – we’re a judgement-free zone

Your Mission
We are a fast growing start-up that puts its customer at the center of everything we do. We need you to audit our current Shopify website and implement a full theme upgrade with a focus on CX, education and branding so we can over-serve our growing community and provide a best-in-class Everist experience.

The Role
We need a do-er. A proactive communicator. An enthusiastic and energetic, make it happen-er. Someone with either a creative eye or strong dev background (it’s ok to not have both – we can offset with support!). This role will manage key digital projects to upgrade our website, automate systems and improve our customer experience as a result.

Key Responsibilities

  • Project lead an overhaul of our Shopify DTC ecommerce website, including an audit of what’s working and not working and then implementing those changing into our new Shopify theme upgrade, focused on creative and copy continuity and front-end dev improvements.
  • Assess and implement new website tools, with a focus on CX and FAQs. Explore options to digitize and help answer FAQs in real-time through automated website response and personalized chat functions to help educate customers and increase site conversion rates.
  • Help optimize our wholesale shopify store portal and implement a streamlined marketing automation system to improve lead generation, nurturing and customer engagement with independent boutiques as well as larger retail accounts.
  • Review our current CRM system and recommend any upgrades and automations that need to be implemented to improve CX and streamline highly personalized customer management.
  • Proactively manage special projects with key stakeholders. As a fast-growing, entrepreneurial start-up, these responsibilities are likely to shift and evolve based on the needs of the business. Flexibility and a can-do attitude are the keys to success in this role.

Experience and Requirements:

  • You are a recent graduate (within 2 years) of a bachelor’s degree, diploma or equivalent in Computer Science/ Engineering, Business, or related field
  • Great attention to detail and organizational skills + ability to be proactive and independently problem solve
  • You are a computer wizard who enjoys making things pretty
  • Experience with or existing knowledge of Shopify, Coding, Canva, Photoshop, and Illustrator is an asset
  • You have a voice and are comfortable using it. We want to hear all of your ideas
  • You’re a team player who can work both independently and collaboratively
  • Our team is based in Toronto - although we have a work from anywhere, remote-first culture, in-person meetings do occur
  • You are legally entitled to work according to Ontario’s legislation and regulations
  • We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion
