About Swanky

We are a friendly team working to push our clients to the next level - learning new things, open to change and experimentation but always making sure commercial priorities and potential complexity are scoped as part of every decision.

We design, build and grow Shopify Plus stores that convert. From a team of 4 in 2016, to 60+ staff in 3 locations worldwide (Australia, France and the UK), we’re looking to bring additional experts into our team and see this role as a key part of our continued growth journey. We’ve been recognised as Shopify Plus Experts since the inception of the Plus program in 2016, and our clients work across a range of verticals, largely selling consumable products.

• Working closely with our large team of designers, developers, product managers, QAs and data experts to seamlessly coordinate appropriate expertise throughout the life of a project, coaching and guiding others through each project.
