About Hovia

Born from Liverpool's creative energy, Hovia brings bold wallpaper design to homes around the world. We empower people to decorate with confidence, creating spaces that last.

Hovia is owned by Gimmersta Wallpaper AB – a Swedish multi-brand wallpaper group behind several premium brands including Rebel Walls, Sandberg Wallpaper, Happywall, and Hovia. Each brand has its own design studio, with shared production facilities in Borås (Sweden) and Liverpool (UK). The group employs around 100 people and has an annual turnover of €45 million. Our brands are sold worldwide, primarily online as well as through interior designers, architects, and retailers.

What you'll be doing:

Product Management:

• Take ownership of our products on-site. Upload and manage new product listings with accurate descriptions, imagery, and meta data, regularly reviewing the content and process to ensure it reflects best practices
• Become a product expert. Endeavour to learn everything there is to know about our products, understand the various ranges and update related products accordingly
• Optimise product pages for SEO and user experience.

Content Creation:

• Develop on-site content for homepage, product pages, category pages, and curated collections, as well as writing blog posts
• Work with marketing and design teams to align messaging across channels; ensuring that one of our core brand USPs - that all our designs are created by real people from our home in Liverpool - is reflected across our website
• Work with the Brand Marketing Manager in order that our brand guidelines and tone of voice are adhered to across all website content.

Visual Merchandising:

• Make our homepage come alive with regular content and banner updates, highlighting new and relevant collections and trends
• Ensure category pages are merchandised regularly and the right products are being shown, in the right order, to the right customers and at the right time
• Collaborate with the design team to create shoppable landing pages for seasonal campaigns and collections that are visually compelling and on-brand
• Work closely with our Social Media & Influencer Marketing Executive to ensure UGC is used effectively on-site
• Lead efforts to merchandise site search so that the most appropriate products are being shown to customers
• Make sure that banners and collections are regularly updated in our new site navigation.

Analytics & Reporting:

• Build and maintain GA4 reports and Looker Studio dashboards to track ecommerce performance. Highlight issues and make recommendations or take action to address them
• Provide actionable insights to improve customer engagement, conversion rate and other target KPIs; always looking for blockers to purchases and how to remove them
• Use data to inform and guide the product design team in creating new wallpaper designs.

What we're looking for:

At Hovia, we're guided by four core values: Be Authentic, Make an Impact, Enrich People, and Raise the Bar. These values shape how we work together and how we show up for our customers.

• Hands-on experience with GA4 and ideally Looker Studio, including building reports and dashboards.

Skills

• Ability to create engaging content for product pages, collections, and blog posts
• Good eye for visual merchandising and structuring categories to maximise engagement and sales
• Strong understanding of customer journeys and the ability to identify friction points or opportunities
• Data-driven approach with the ability to interpret performance issues and make informed recommendations
