Location: Miami, FL (Preferred) or Remote (Nationwide)

Position Type: Internship (Part-Time: 15–20 hrs/week or Full-Time)

Compensation: Unpaid / Academic Credit Eligible

About the Learning Opportunity:

Divino Seas is a fast-growing luxury swimwear brand built on elevated design, high-end branding, and performant e-commerce operations. We are looking for a sharp, self-sufficient E-Commerce Merchandising Intern with hands-on Shopify experience to learn how modern DTC brands integrate AI workflows and data-driven merchandising into store optimization.

This role moves beyond basic classroom theory—you will work alongside agency and brand leads to learn how AI systems (Claude, ChatGPT, Shopify Sidekick) are used to streamline product page architecture, collection layout strategies, and conversion rate optimization (CRO) in a luxury fashion environment.

What You Will Learn & Practice (Hands-On Experience):

Shopify PDP & Asset Management: Practice managing and updating Shopify product detail pages—organizing high-resolution imagery, optimizing product tags, refining descriptions, and organizing variant displays.

AI-Driven E-Commerce Workflows: Learn how to use AI productivity tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Shopify Sidekick) to research e-commerce trends, draft SEO-rich copy prompts, structure metadata, and speed up operational workflows.

Digital Collection Merchandising: Practice building, organizing, and sorting collection pages for new product drops, seasonal pushes, and inventory clearance based on sell-through rates and visual aesthetic rules.

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) & UX Audits: Shadow brand leads in analyzing storefront heatmaps, traffic analytics, and drop-off points to pitch UX, layout, and visual merchandising updates.

Inventory & Catalog Architecture: Learn how complex inventory catalogs are organized, categorized, and tagged across Shopify collections to maintain clean customer navigation and site architecture.

Brand Aesthetics & Touchpoint Governance: Maintain visual consistency across all collection banners, navigation dropdowns, product grids, and storefront touchpoints.

Qualifications & Requirements:

Mandatory: Hands-on experience working directly inside the Shopify admin platform (creating products, editing collections, managing tags).

AI Curiosity: Comfort using or learning modern AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Shopify Sidekick) to solve operational puzzles and optimize copy/data workflows.

Self-Directed Problem Solver: Ability to take strategic direction once and execute independently with high attention to detail.

Field of Study: Background or coursework in Fashion Merchandising, E-Commerce, Marketing, Business Administration, or Information Systems preferred.
