Shopify D2C Growth Partner Needed

Shopify & D2C Growth Expert / Agency — Proven Results Required

We are launching a new FMCG brand in Dubai, UAE, targeting January 2027.

We are looking for an experienced Shopify and D2C growth partner who can build our e-commerce store and take ownership of customer acquisition, conversion optimization and retention.

This is not a basic website development or social media management project.

We need someone with demonstrated experience building and scaling successful D2C businesses.

1. Scope of Work

Shopify Development

* Build a premium, mobile-first, conversion-focused Shopify store.
* Set up products, bundles, payments, delivery options, promotions and checkout.
* Integrate our third-party logistics partner for fulfillment, inventory and tracking.
* Implement analytics, advertising pixels and conversion tracking.
* Configure email, WhatsApp and customer retention integrations.
* Test and optimize the complete purchasing journey.

D2C Growth & Marketing

* Develop a complete launch and customer acquisition strategy.
* Manage Meta and TikTok advertising.
* Develop creative strategy, UGC concepts, hooks and ad testing.
* Implement Klaviyo email marketing and WhatsApp retention flows.
* Optimize landing pages, conversion rates and repeat purchases.
* Manage performance tracking, reporting and continuous optimization.

2. Mandatory Requirements — Evidence Required

We will only consider candidates who can provide the following:

A. Real Shopify Stores

Provide at least 3 live Shopify store URLs you have personally developed or substantially optimized.

For each store, explain:

* Your exact responsibilities.
* What you built or improved.
* Whether you are still managing the store.

B. Proven Marketing Results

Provide at least 2 detailed D2C growth case studies, ideally involving stores you also developed or optimized.

Each case study must include:

* Business category and market.
* Campaign duration.
* Monthly advertising spend.
* Revenue before and after your involvement.
* ROAS, CAC and conversion rate, where available.
* Clear explanation of how your work contributed to the results.

Supporting evidence is mandatory. Provide relevant Shopify and advertising dashboard screenshots, with confidential information redacted if necessary.

We are not interested in unsupported claims of achieving 5× or 10× ROAS.

C. Your Growth System

Explain your actual methodology for growing an e-commerce brand.

We specifically want to understand:

1. How you research customers and competitors.
2. How you develop and test advertising creatives.
3. How you structure campaigns and allocate budgets.
4. How frequently you optimize campaigns.
5. How you improve Shopify conversion rates.
6. How you build email and retention systems.
7. How you measure profitability and decide what to scale.

We expect a structured, repeatable process, not general marketing advice.

3. Execution & Accountability

Please explain:

* Who will personally manage our project?
* What work is handled in-house versus outsourced?
* How many hours per week will you dedicate?
* What are your weekly deliverables?
* What does your reporting dashboard include?
* How will you communicate progress and results?
* What would your first 30, 60 and 90 days look like?

We expect one accountable point of contact and clear deliverables.

4. Your Proposal Must Include

Please structure your bid using these seven headings:

1. Shopify Portfolio: 3 live store links and your role.
2. Marketing Results: 2 case studies with evidence.
3. Your System: Your methodology for D2C growth.
4. Execution Team: Who will do the actual work.
5. 90-Day Plan: Your proposed launch and growth approach.
6. Timeline: When the Shopify store can be completed and tested.
7. Pricing: Separate fixed Shopify development cost, monthly growth management fee, and additional expenses.

5. Selection Process

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a video call to walk us through their portfolio, actual results and working methodology.

Important:

* Generic or AI-generated proposals that do not address the requirements will not be considered.
* Applicants without verifiable Shopify and e-commerce growth experience will not be shortlisted.
* We are not looking for someone who only builds websites or only manages advertisements.
* We are open to experienced freelancers or established agencies with the capabilities to deliver the complete scope.

To confirm you have read the requirements, begin your proposal with: “STORE + GROWTH”.

We are seeking a long-term partner capable of building a strong e-commerce foundation and growing a profitable D2C business.
