This role will involve all things digital and fashion with a focus on developing our online presence, growing our social media audience and maximising ROI from web, social media, email, & online content.

You will also track marketing investment by program and category. Identify new opportunities and provide strategic recommendations to drive growth of online marketing channels.

Social Media: Networks like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn  and Twitter have become key resources in recent years, and as a result Siopaella’s presence on social media has become a key tool for our growing business. You will be tasked with building upon our existing online and social media strategy to take our social media community of over 48k to the next level. You will share your knowledge of all things digital with our buyers and stylists and manage / schedule posts for daily and weekly content programming across various social media platforms.

These contacts include but are not limited to: stylists, personal shoppers, boutique owners, sales associates, and individual consignors.  You’ll monitor multi-channel acquisition campaigns for e-commerce businesses to meet monthly goals.

Evaluate, validate and measure the financial impact and effectiveness of sales & marketing initiatives aimed at consignors and customers: You will participate in ad-hoc analyses related to channel performance, conversion efficiency, marketing attribution and lifetime value to deliver performance insights and optimize planning & forecasting.

Photography: You will assist in the photography and help style a wide variety of products (i.e. clothing, handbags, shoes, accessories and jewelry). Siopaella processes over 100-200 unique items per week, so a person who is production oriented is key. Knowledge of Adobe Lightroom would be an asset.
