VP, Digital Commerce & Growth

Remote

Arcaea is an early-growth, multi-brand beauty company rethinking how ingredients are created and scaled for the beauty and personal care industry. At the intersection of biotechnology and beauty, we create high-performance, genuinely sustainable ingredients that unlock new ways to build and tell brand stories. Our brand ecosystem spans multiple stages - from established and scaling to early and still being built - and we’re focused on strengthening the infrastructure behind what’s working today while building the foundations for what comes next. 


We’re looking for a VP of Digital Commerce to own and scale our digital business across current and future brands. This is a hands-on role for a builder who thrives on improving existing systems while designing new ones from the ground up. You will lead digital performance and infrastructure across all brands, develop and manage brand-level digital managers, and own DTC revenue and digital P&L. Your mission is to create a scalable, efficient digital ecosystem that compounds growth over time and helps shape a high-profile, category-defining company.

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own revenue and results

  • Own DTC revenue, margin, and digital P&L across all Arcaea brands
  • Lead forecasting, budgeting, and performance tracking across acquisition, retention, and conversion
  • Identify and unlock new growth opportunities across channels, lifecycle stages, and platforms

Design the digital growth engine

  • Set the long-term digital commerce strategy across the brand ecosystem
  • Build scalable systems, processes, and operating models that support both existing and future brands 
  • Balance near-term scrappiness with thoughtful long-term infrastructure and platform decisions

Turn data into decisions

  • Establish a unified analytics framework, dashboards, and core KPIs across brands
  • Translate performance data into clear insights and action, partnering with leadership to guide strategic decisions

Build lifecycle, CRM, and retention

  • Own CRM and lifecycle strategy including email, SMS, loyalty, and subscription
  • Scale high-performing subscription and retention programs to increase LTV
  • Create disciplined testing frameworks for messaging, cadence, and offers

Drive performance marketing and conversion

  • Own performance marketing strategy and execution across paid channels, in-house and through agencies
  • Optimize CAC, efficiency, and incremental growth
  • Own the end-to-end digital consumer journey across brands driving seamless, conversion-optimized experiences
  • Lead conversion, UX, and experimentation frameworks
  • Partner with creative and brand teams to ensure performance and brand integrity coexist

Own platforms and marketplaces

  • Own ecommerce platforms, websites, and core digital infrastructure ensuring stability, scalability, and cost efficiency of the digital stack
  • Partner with operations on platform selection and roadmap
  • Lead Amazon, TikTok Shop, and retailer digital strategies, execution, and optimization as the brand ecosystem expands ensuring consistent merchandising, storytelling, and conversion across all platforms

Build and lead the team 

  • Build, develop, and lead a high-performing digital team
  • Directly manage brand-level digital managers and set clear expectations, KPIs, and operating rhythms
  • Lead from the front, comfortable setting strategy and rolling up your sleeves when needed

 

WHAT WE SEEK

  • 10+ years of experience building and scaling digital commerce businesses with direct ownership of revenue, P&L, and outcomes
  • Proven track record driving significant growth – whether scaling from early stages, turning around underperforming digital ecosystems, or building new foundations from scratch
  • Deep, hands-on understanding of DTC economics, including conversion, retention, LTV, and unit economics
  • Execution-level experience across performance marketing, CRM, subscription, and lifecycle marketing 
  • Ability to design and implement cost-efficient, scalable digital systems and operating processes
  • Strategic thinker who can architect for scale while operating lean, prioritizing effectively, and sequencing investments in resource-constrained environments 
  • Proven people leader with experience building, developing, and leading high-performing teams
  • Strong cross-functional partner to brand, creative, product, and operations teams
  • Clear, concise communicator who can translate complexity into action
  • Experience in beauty, wellness, or consumer brands preferred
  • Multi-brand experience and high-growth or early-stage company experience strongly preferred
  • Experience launching new brands or categories digitally is a plus

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
