JOB OVERVIEW

We are a growing Canadian outdoor eyewear brand looking for a capable, resourceful, and detail-oriented Shopify Website & Development Assistant.

This role is for someone who can confidently work inside Shopify, make visual and written website updates, troubleshoot problems, and use AI tools to work more efficiently.

You do not need to know everything fro ---------- mory. We are looking for someone who knows how to research, test, use AI responsibly, and find solutions without breaking the website.

The work may include simple content updates one day and more technical Shopify development tasks the next.

Add and update products in Shopify
Upload and organize product images
Update product titles, descriptions, pricing, variants, tags, and collections
Build and edit website pages
Update navigation menus, banners, announcements, and homepage sections

Review website pages for errors, broken links, and outdated information
Make sure the website works properly on desktop and mobile
Test changes before and after publishing
Image Editing and Content Uploads
Resize, crop, compress, and optimize images for the website
Remove or replace image backgrounds when required

Maintain consistent image sizing and presentation
Rename and organize files properly
Upload images without slowing down website performance
Use tools such as Canva, Photoshop, or AI image-editing platforms
Website Copy and Content
Make edits to product descriptions and website copy
Improve grammar, clarity, formatting, and readability
Update promotional messaging throughout the website
Help write landing pages, collection descriptions, FAQs, and basic blog content

Use Shopify metafields and metaobjects when needed
Make backups or duplicate the theme before major changes
Avoid editing the live theme without proper testing

AI-Assisted Work

We encourage the responsible use of AI tools.

You may use AI to help with:

Writing and troubleshooting code
Reviewing Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Drafting product descriptions and website copy
Brainstorming page layouts and improvements
Diagnosing website errors
Creating instructions or documentation
Editing and optimizing images

However, you must understand and test anything created with AI before publishing it.

Copying AI-generated code directly into the live website without reviewing or testing it is not acceptable.

Daily Tasks:
Website Quality and Organization
Keep track of requested website changes
Document what was changed and where
Report completed tasks clearly
Identify anything that still needs approval or testing
Flag website issues before they become larger problems
Maintain consistent formatting throughout the website
Work from a task list and provide updates on progress
Ask questions when instructions are unclear instead of guessing

Who We’re Looking For:
Experience working with Shopify
Comfortable editing Shopify themes
Working knowledge of Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Strong attention to detail
Good written English
Comfortable editing website copy
Experience uploading and optimizing images
Able to use AI tools effectively
Able to troubleshoot and research solutions independently
Understands the importance of testing and website backups
Organized and able to manage multiple small tasks
Willing to follow our brand guidelines and approval process
Able to explain technical issues in simple language
Does not make unapproved changes to the live website

Experience with Shopify 2.0 themes, metafields, metaobjects, Canva, Photoshop, GitHub, PageFly, Replo, Klaviyo, or SEO is an advantage.

Examples of Tasks

What Success Looks Like:

Changes work properly on desktop and mobile
Images look professional and load efficiently
Website copy is clear, natural, and consistent
Custom code is tested before being published
Website changes do not create new problems
Tasks are documented and communicated clearly
