Business manager for start up ecommerce business

Since I was 16 years old, I've been running my own ecommerce business, selling sporting goods and gym equipment nationwide within the UK. Despite having no prior experience or knowledge of this industry, I've faced many challenges and obstacles, yet I've continued to persevere. I've had to run every department of this business, which has made it quite difficult for me to really grow the business effectively + manage my education at the same time. Currently, I physically hold the stock that's portrayed on my website, but I've faced many challenges in really getting it sold off to help build the necessary capital to grow this business. As a student, I've found it very difficult to handle both this business and the targets i've set for my career hence the reason why I am looking for someone who can really help me out with this situation.

I am looking to create a long-term relationship with a professional business manager who understands the ecommerce world and the industry I'm in and is ready to take initiative. The objective is to really help turn this start-up around. I need someone who can help set up this business for success. The plan that has been created is to initially move away completely from holding physical goods and moving to the dropshipping method, really utilizing this to make it as effective as possible for this business. I need someone who can help set up a wholesale dropshipping store for this business, choose the right products which are of the highest quality, and ensure that shipping and customer service are at its absolute peak.

The market I intend to go for is the United Kingdom, but I would love to discuss this further as to what would be the most effective approach. I already have a marketing specialist, but as my business manager, I would want you to correlate with him back and forth to really target the marketing in the most effective way. I'm looking for someone who is willing to really grow with this business in the long term and really put their initiative forward to take action.

ideal candidate needs to have a thorough understanding of the ecommerce world, especially the industry we operate in, and be ready to take the strong dominant initiative to help grow our business to achieve the set objective of hitting £100,000 by Jan 2024.
