We, x2x eCommerce have worked with several retailers both as consultant and as solutions providers for the past 3 years. First of all, we learnt that there isn’t a single-fit ecommerce team and often, the team structure keeps changing based on the business conditions. Let’s take a typical example of a shoe retailer that has focus on branding and photography. These organizations will have top-notch CRM suites and data/digital analytics team. Above all, the number of people required for an eCommerce team will keep changing depending on the SKU’s that are available. The marketing budget also plays an important role too.
Typical departments for an online retailer
1. The Executive Team
Well, it seems like mostly the team is run by the Vice President of eCommerce or eCommerce Head. Similarly, in some organizations, the Chief Digital Officer or Chief Marketing Officer takes care of this department.
2. Marketing
The Marketing team will be involved in the following tasks:
1. Customer Relationship Management 2. Acquisition 3. Loyalty 4. Digital Marketing
Also, for larger organizations, they will have dedicated team to work on Email Marketing, Social Media support and even Search Engine Optimization.
3. Inventory Management
There will be several roles in this team which includes buyers that work on sourcing the products. Visual merchandising or web merchandising roles are brought in for specific categories. The analytics team and buyers work together for managing the featured products in the eCommerce portal.The eCommerce websites follows manual interventions instead of personalzation tecnologies/recommendation engines where the team sizes are large.
However, solutions like x2x eCommerce has comeout with a fantastic suite that helps users to manage inventory with ease!
4. The UX Team
This business can’t run without a perfect UX Team (How are we regular users going to start using their website, if it isn’t fancy?). This team focuses on creating mockups/prototypes and generates initial customer surveys through usability testing. They will work in parallel with the software developers to comeup with a final website. Most of the mid-sized organizations outsource these divisions, however, having a dedicated UX Team is always an asset to an eCommerce business.
Apart from the above, other major departments are:
5. Operations 6. Development 7. Analytics 8. Customer Service 9. Finance and 10. Projects
