期望与牺牲

Online shoppers usually have little idea of the intricate behind-the-scenes workings of an e-commerce business. It takes dedicated, highly-organized E-commerce Operations Managers to keep processes running smoothly, overseeing and often directly engaging in the myriad “moving pieces” within a warehouse…or multiple warehouses! 
 
Everything hinges on the effectiveness of the E-commerce Operations Manager, who bears enormous responsibilities to keep things afloat. The job can be stressful, with labor and management pressures. Workers in this field must stay calm, cool, and collected at all costs, especially when problems arise or schedules ramp up due to holidays and sales events. That is why most companies look for managers with ample experience to handle the pressure. 

当前趋势

In recent years, the US labor force has been hit with unprecedented shortages, leaving some e-commerce businesses struggling to find workers. This is happening at a time when e-commerce sales have skyrocketed, exacerbating the problem even further. As a result, E-commerce Operations Managers are all the more critical, for they must make labor-intensive processes as efficient as possible, so fewer people are needed. 
 
Technology and automation play vital roles in this streamlining process, but managers are on the hook to retain the workers they have during the Great Resignation. Modern operations employees demand more rights and for companies to care about their well-being. E-commerce businesses are addressing these issues by offering clearer frontline communication, more training, improved working conditions, more pay and benefits, and more predictable schedules for a better workforce experience. 

从事这一职业的人在年轻时喜欢做什么样的事情...

E-commerce Operations Managers must be very process-oriented and able to elicit the best work out of employees. They may have exhibited natural leadership and management traits as kids, comfortable being in the center of the action. Their parents might have given them chores and responsibilities at an early age, or perhaps they were simply drawn to taking charge of things at school. 
 
Many E-commerce Operations Managers honed their skills over years, working at early ages in retail stores, warehouses, or other logistics-oriented settings. Some may have also served in military positions, acquiring discipline and a sense of urgency that carried over into their civilian careers. 

需要的教育和培训
  • E-commerce Operations Managers should ideally have a bachelor’s in logistics, operations management, e-commerce, business administration, or related studies
  • 职业培训或副学士学位足以让你踏入职场大门
    • 根据 Zippia 的数据,36% 的仓库运营经理拥有学士学位;29% 仅拥有高中文凭,20% 拥有副学士学位(其余百分比的文凭或学位不详)。
    • Many employers place more value on practical, relevant work experience than academics
  • 项目管理专业人员或项目经理大师等认证可以提高您的技能......以及您的简历!
  • 许多学院还提供学历证书,如 eCornell 的运营管理证书课程
  • Some workers land their jobs by working their way up from warehouse labor positions within the company while supplementing academic knowledge with community college/vocational training courses
  • Many e-commerce and traditional companies offer Operations Manager internships providing practical paid experience 
  • New E-commerce Operations Managers can expect plenty of On-the-Job Training to learn about their new company and its processes
在一个项目中需要注意的事项
  • Again, only about a third of E-commerce Operations Managers have a bachelor’s degree, so it is possible to get started with no degree or with just a few community college/vocational school courses under your belt
  • Should you decide to go for a bachelor’s, look for college programs that offer as much practical experience as possible
    • Fully online programs can be an attractive option for many, but you must find ways to gain hands-on experience, too
  • Be sure to take classes related specifically to e-commerce business practices
  • Read faculty bios to see what type of field experiences the teachers have 
  • Ensure your school and degree program are properly accredited
  • Never simply buy into a school’s marketing and advertising. Colleges view students as big-ticket item customers, and they spend a ton of money to target and appeal to you. That doesn’t mean their programs are suitable for your needs
  • Read authentic reviews from graduates to find out more about a particular program you’re interested in
  • Check out college ranking websites to see how well programs stack up against the competition (but keep in mind, some of those sites receive paid sponsorships from schools) 
  • Review the school or program’s statistics regarding acceptance rates, graduation rates, and post-graduation job placement
高中和大学的事情
  • Set goals for what you want to achieve in your E-commerce Ops career
  • 在高中选修商业、管理和通信课程
  • 志愿组织课外活动,获得监督大型项目的实践经验
  • 考虑兼职做仓库工人或送货司机
  • 寻找电子商务企业的运营经理实习机会 
  • 在你想去的公司的零售店工作(如果有的话),然后晋升为经理或区域经理。 
  • 在时间允许的情况下,完成适用的认证计划
  • Join e-commerce-related organizations to make contacts and learn from peers 
  • 阅读行业杂志或有关行业的文章,包括新兴趋势、最佳实践和经验教训等主题
