About the role
We're excited to hire a Manager, Site Experience & Operations to help shape how customers discover, shop, and engage with Brooklinen online. This role sits at the center of our Digital Commerce organization and is responsible for translating business priorities into a high-performing onsite experience that balances brand storytelling, customer experience, and commercial results. You'll partner closely with Ecommerce, Merchandising, Marketing, Creative, Product, and Analytics to ensure customers can easily find what they're looking for while continuously improving site performance. This is not a traditional site merchandising role. In addition to owning key aspects of site experience, discovery, and onsite operations, you'll help build the reporting, processes, and operational rigor that enable the broader team to make smarter decisions and execute more effectively. From product launches and promotional moments to navigation, search, and merchandising strategy, you'll play a critical role in shaping how Brooklinen comes to life online.

- Identify and implement workflow improvements across the team with guidance from the Director of Digital Commerce that ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency across all site updates throughout the year
- Team Development & Mentorship
- Provide day-to-day mentorship and coaching to the Senior Associates for Site Content and Site Merchandising within their respective domains to build and expand strategic, analytical, and cross-functional capability over time
- Vendor & Tool Management
- Support and maintain primary relationships with site-tooling vendors (e.g., Dynamic Yield, search/SEO tools, UGC tools), serving as the main point of contact for performance reviews and day-to-day troubleshooting
- Site Health & QA
- Own a codified, cross-functional QA process spanning content and merchandising workstreams, ensuring every launch and promotion is bug-free and aligned with the brand
- Partner with the Digital Product team to ensure new site features and functionality launch flawlessly and meet business requirements
- Ensure content and merchandising updates align with site architecture and do not introduce visual or functional issues
- We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in ecommerce, with meaningful ownership of site experience, merchandising, or discovery strategy (navigation, taxonomy, curated collections, search/sort)
- Hands-on experience with Shopify or Shopify Plus
- Demonstrated experience maintaining and interpreting ecommerce analytics and reporting (conversion, AOV, site search, onsite testing), and coaching others through it
- A background spanning both content/experience and merchandising/pricing domains is a plus
- Experience interfacing in vendor or partner relationships

- A coaching-oriented management style - structured, patient, and comfortable proactively drawing out input from team members while expanding their ownership over time
- Experience with Dynamic Yield or a similar onsite personalization/testing platform is a plus
