ABOUT US:

Rare Beauty Brands is a fast-growing portfolio of innovative beauty and skincare brands, including Kate Somerville and Patchology.

We combine the agility of a startup with the discipline of a performance-driven organization, scaling brands that inspire

confidence, deliver results, and consistently outperform their categories. Our teams move quickly, test boldly, and operate with a

deep commitment to data, creativity, and collaboration.

Kate Somerville is seeking a fractional Shopify expert to serve as the hands-on technical owner of our DTC ecommerce platform for

a focused six-month period. The one qualification we won't trade away is deep, real Shopify mastery: someone who already lives

inside Liquid, metafields, metaobjects, and a heavily customized, multi-layered theme, and doesn't need ramp-up time to learn the

backend.

Strategic thinking is genuinely welcome here, not just tolerated. If this person sees a smarter merchandising approach or a better

way to sequence a promotion, we want to hear it. But we're not hiring for strategy first and hoping the technical skill follows;

we're hiring for technical mastery first, and strategic instinct is the bonus round.

The six-month window is intentional. Kate Somerville is in the middle of shaping a broader connected commerce strategy (spanning

loyalty, personalization, subscription, and marketplace), and this engagement is structured to stabilize and improve the current

Shopify environment while that longer-term architecture is decided. A strong fit here could extend or evolve as that roadmap

solidifies.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Mindset We're Hiring For

Every hire on this team gets measured against one trait first: does this person find a way to win? We're looking for builders and

tinkerers, not people who wait for the perfect brief. Specifically, that means:

Resourceful by default. When the obvious path is blocked, this person finds another one instead of reporting the blocker and

waiting.

Comfortable inside the guts of a system. A messy theme, a stubborn metafield, or an undocumented app is a puzzle worth digging

into, not a reason to punt.

Bias toward “shipping”. This person would rather launch a version and learn from real data than polish a plan that never meets

a customer.

Treats “there's no way to do this in Shopify” as a starting point for investigation, not a final answer.
Wants to know whether their work moved the needle and pushes to get it live quickly enough to find out.

What You'll Own

Shopify Theme & Technical Execution

Work directly inside a custom, layered Shopify theme (Liquid, JS, CSS, JSON templates) to build, troubleshoot, and improve site

functionality.

Diagnose and resolve product display, metafield, and schema issues (e.g., bundle/PDP configuration conflicts) quickly and

independently.

Build and QA promotional mechanics: GWP setups, BOGO logic, discount configuration, and landing pages, ahead of key promotional

windows.

Manage the app ecosystem: install, configure, troubleshoot, and evaluate Shopify apps, and flag conflicts before they hit the

live site.

Maintain clean documentation and SOPs so the theme and its logic are legible to the next person, not just to you.

Partnership with Brand & Digital Leadership

Work closely with the EVP of Brand & Digital to shape and sequence technical priorities, bringing your own point of view on

what should happen and how.

Flag technical constraints, trade-offs, and platform risks early and in plain language, so decisions can be made quickly.
Support promotional and launch calendars with reliable, on-time technical delivery.

Connected Commerce Input

Serve as a technical sounding board for the connected commerce strategy development (loyalty, personalization, subscription,

data unification).

Flag where the current Shopify setup will help or hinder that direction, and where technical debt should be addressed now

versus later.

Provide informed input on platform, app, and integration choices without owning the strategic roadmap itself.

REQUIREMENTS:

Deep, demonstrable expertise in Shopify Liquid theme development — comfortable inside complex, heavily customized or

multi-layered themes, not just out-of-the-box builds.

Strong working knowledge of Shopify APIs, metafields, apps, and the Shopify Plus feature set.
5+ years of hands-on, technical ecommerce execution (not primarily strategy or account management).
Proven ability to own execution independently in a fast-moving DTC environment with minimal oversight.
Clear communicator who can explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders without over-explaining.
Comfortable in a fractional or contract structure, managing priorities across a defined scope of work.
A track record of finding a way around a blocker rather than stopping at it, and a preference for shipping and testing over

endless planning.

BONUS POINTS:

Beauty, skincare, or consumer products experience.
Experience with subscription platforms (e.g., Ordergroove or similar) or replatforming a subscription program.
Familiarity with connected commerce concepts: loyalty, personalization, and customer data unification.
Based in the Los Angeles area.

This is a 3-6 month fractional or contract engagement, structured around scope rather than a fixed weekly hour count. Cadence and

time commitment will flex based on the promotional calendar and project load and can be discussed directly with candidates who are

the right technical fit. Extension beyond six months is possible. Los Angeles area preferred.

Chief Operating Officer (COO)

Swedish Nutra AB•Malmö

About Swedish Nutra Swedish Nutra is a Malmö-based family company and one of the Nordics’ leading manufacturers of premium liquid vitamins and nutritional supplements. We offer private label/white label production and are the makers of the Swedish Collagen and Swedish Nutra brands, sold in over 37 countries worldwide. We’re a fast-growing business with global distribution, a warm and international team, and an enterprising environment where people get real room to develop and grow. About the role We are seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to take over the day-to-day leadership of Swedish Nutra. This is a pivotal role designed to free our founder-CEO to focus on growth, while you build and lead the operational engine that will scale our business. You will be the number-one on-site point of contact for the entire team, working full-time from our Malmö headquarters. What you'll own As COO, you will be responsible for the full company P&L and all approximately 30 staff, leading through the management layer. Your mandate will grow in defined phases, ultimately encompassing all day-to-day responsibilities currently held by the CEO. This includes: Day-to-day leadership of the company: Full P&L ownership and leadership of all staff through the management team. The management team: Building and leading the Production Manager, Head of Sales, and Marketing Manager (searches currently in motion), and completing the team with key-account and e-commerce hires. Final say on management-level appointments remains with the owners. Production: Setting targets and holding the Production Manager accountable for output, quality, supply, and cost. The technical spine: Ensuring quality assurance and regulatory compliance across all export markets, maintaining GMP/HACCP certification, overseeing the product development pipeline, and managing inventory and supply end-to-end through a monthly S&OP rhythm. The commercial engine: Guiding the Head of Sales and Marketing Manager to execute the retail and DTC agenda set with the CEO, including expanding from exclusive-distributor coverage to include direct retail relationships. DTC and marketplace channels: Overseeing Amazon EU/UK through an accountable Amazon specialist, and the US Amazon/Shopify/DTC business, with investment pace agreed with the CEO. Systems and process: Transforming ad-hoc, founder-held execution into documented, repeatable processes and stage-appropriate tooling, and extracting institutional knowledge into the organization through SOPs. The people function during ramp-up: Managing performance, development, and hiring below management level, with in-house recruitment support, until a dedicated HR lead is justified. The automation agenda: Supporting automation across the business, ensuring new processes across every department are designed to be automation-ready. The operating rhythm: Establishing KPIs, budgets, forecasting, cash-flow discipline, running weekly management meetings, and providing monthly reporting to the owners. What we're looking for We are seeking a proven general manager with real operational depth and a scale-up temperament. While few candidates will be equally strong across all areas, we prioritize in this order: proven general management, depth across quality, regulatory, product development, and supply, and hands-on commercial-growth experience. Running a factory is not required, as production has its own dedicated leader. Non-negotiable requirements: Experience: 10+ years of experience, with genuine general management, including owning a full P&L (company, subsidiary, or business unit) and leading a team of managers. You are a leader of leaders, not a strong functional specialist stepping up for the first time. Operational Expertise: Real operating experience in a regulated product category (GMP, HACCP, pharma, food, nutraceutical/supplement, or comparable), spanning quality and regulatory, product development, and inventory/supply. You must be able to own these functions, carry quality and regulatory risk, and act as a credible sparring partner to the Production Manager. Scale-up Temperament: Comfortable building structure from thin processes in a founder-led company with approximately 200M SEK revenue. Commercial Literacy: Understands brand, channel economics, and trade terms well enough to direct a retail expansion. Motivation: Motivated by operational ownership; you want to run the day-to-day of a profitable company end-to-end and build the machine, not occupy a caretaker or chief-of-staff seat. Location: Full-time on-site in Malmö. This is not a hybrid or remote role. Candidates must be based in the Öresund region. Language: Fluent English is a requirement for this role (our working language; the team is international). Swedish is not required. Strong preferences: FMCG background: consumer health, VMS/supplements, personal care, or functional food. Experience in liquid, food, or beverage manufacturing environments. Direct experience with European drug and health retail (dm, Rossmann, Holland & Barrett, Boots) and their buying processes. Existing relationships with target retail banners. AI-forward: has used AI and automation to build a leaner operation, or is visibly motivated to, and able to bring a team along with it. Practical details Apply by clicking the link and submitting your resume, including your cover letter in the same document (one file for CV and cover letter). Start date: as soon as possible. Workplace: Swedish Nutra AB, Lodgatan 19, 211 24 Malmö.
