Web Product Owner

Web & eCommerce Manager

Remote - South Africa (with flexibility to cross over to US time zones when required)

Usually you will be working within the UK time zone

We are seeking a Web & eCommerce Manager to serve as the strategic and technical lead for globalknowledge.com. This role owns the end-to-end performance of our web presence — from information architecture and data integration to site analytics and agency governance.

You will sit at the intersection of marketing, IT, and external agency partners, translating business requirements into a high-performing, globally consistent web experience that supports pipeline generation, course discovery, and eCommerce conversion across our NAM and EMEA operations.

This role will be the business owner for our commercial website, so managing product lifecycle and development requirements is important. But ultimately, we need someone to own the eCommerce outcomes from the site.

Perhaps reframing the role as Web and eCommerce Manager. I am looking for someone who is more of a growth hacker.

Experience with a specific CMS platform isn’t required, but the person will need to become very familiar with our CMS. Also, one of the things we like is someone responsible for the website for a non-SaaS business, focused on selling an in-person human experience via eCommerce. That profile may be more transferable to this role than someone who has managed software product management.
