Over the past few years, the world has undergone unprecedented change spearheaded by digital transformation. These digital changes have been experienced by e-commerce experts more than most.
New opportunities bring new challenges and so this was the perfect time to ask our network of e-commerce experts to share the biggest challenges that they’re currently facing.
Our specialist e-commerce recruitment consultant, Adrian Ramani, conducted a very targeted survey, interviewing a small but brilliant group of e-commerce experts within the e-commerce community. Having handpicked over 180 e-commerce management experts, we asked them one very important question: "What is the number one biggest challenge you're currently facing in your role?"
Respondents include E-commerce Managers all the way through to E-commerce Directors from fashion, luxury, jewellery, cosmetics & beauty, and retail & other D2C brands. Answers were largely based on career level and included recruitment & retention, tech resources and lack of e-com IQ in-house.
