E-commerce digital talents often get stuck in mid-management roles.
Even when they:
• Excel as specialists in their niche;
• Lead large-scale projects;
• Receive positive feedback from colleagues and seniors.
Yet, after 3, 4, or 5 years, they’re still in the same position.
The problem?
→ The skills that got you the job aren’t the same ones needed for a promotion.
The solution:
→ Become capable of managing new areas, digital transformations, and leading people. Own the entire e-commerce funnel, not just one part of it.
Specifically, it means:
1. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 → 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗧-𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿.
Broaden your skills in adjacent digital fields (e.g., tech, branding, UX). This will enable you to take on wider responsibility and bigger projects.
2. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 → 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.
How do your projects connect with the long-term business strategy? This way, you can position your achievements as an integral part of the company’s success.
3. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 → 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲.
Focus on creating clear roles, effective workflows, a seamless tech stack, and a stress-free culture.
Master these skills, and you will demonstrate your ability to lead.
By expanding your expertise and fostering a collaborative environment, you’ll showcase your potential to lead and take ownership of the entire e-commerce funnel.
