It’s not just paint, it’s personal — and so is this role.
At Crown Paints, colour is more than a finish — it’s a feeling, a transformation, a personal touch. And as part of the global Hempel family, we're setting our sights high with our most ambitious digital growth strategy yet.
We’re on a mission to more than double our e-commerce business over the next few years — elevating the way we connect with decorators, DIYers and trade professionals across the UK and beyond. As part of the Hempel Decorative strategy, e-commerce is one of our core superpowers — and we’re investing in the right tech, the right media approach, and the right measurement to make it happen.
That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for an experienced and passionate E-Commerce Trading Manager to lead the day-to-day success of our website and take our digital presence to the next level. You'll help shape how people discover and buy our products online — creating seamless, exciting journeys that turn inspiration into action.
Bring digital experiences to life
As E-Commerce Trading Manager, you'll shape how customers connect with Crown Paints online. You’ll lead initiatives that make our website easier to find, more engaging to explore, and better at converting interest into action.
Here’s how you’ll make an impact:
Manage and optimise the Crown Paints e-commerce website, enhancing both performance and customer experience
Deliver digital campaigns across channels to drive traffic and boost online sales
Collaborate with internal teams to ensure accurate, compelling content and seamless customer journeys
Use data and analytics to understand behaviour, identify opportunities, and support continuous improvement
Support seasonal campaigns, key product launches, and innovative new features
What you’ll bring to the table
We’re looking for someone who’s curious, collaborative, and ready to roll up their sleeves. You don’t need to tick every box, but experience in the following areas will set you up for success:
A background in e-commerce, digital marketing or online trading
Confidence using data and insight to guide decisions and improve performance
Experience with CMS platforms (Magento or Adobe Commerce Cloud is a bonus)
Strong communication skills, including writing and editing digital content
A flexible, solutions-focused approach with great organisational skills
Why join Crown?
At Crown Paints, we don’t just talk about values — we live them. We’re proud of our heritage, proud to be part of Hempel, and proud to be building something bold and ambitious together. Our people are the reason we succeed, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive, collaborative place where everyone can thrive.

Flexible hybrid working to support work–life balance
A competitive salary and bonus scheme
28 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays
Company pension and life assurance
Access to wellbeing resources and development opportunities
A warm, collaborative team where your ideas are welcomed
Let’s make it personal.
If you’re excited about digital, passionate about customers, and ready to grow with a business that cares — we’d love to hear from you.
