Team Augmentationconsulting for ecommerce.
Senior contractors slotted into your existing team.
Senior contractors slotted into your existing team. Our team augmentation services are built for growth-stage DTC and marketplace brands — first read in 30 days, compounding by day 90, senior operators only, reporting tied to MER, contribution margin and new-customer LTV.
Your growth partner isn't a cost line, it's a growth engine.
Ecommerce teams bring us in on team augmentation when the pattern is familiar: blended CAC creeping up while spend flattens. We start with role scoping, move into contractor sourcing, then run onboarding + tooling against a scoreboard the whole team can see. The target is senior capacity when you need it — and no fte overhead that keeps compounding after we hand the team augmentation playbook back to your team.
Looking for team augmentation services that actually move ecommerce revenue? We're an independent ecommerce consultancy running team augmentation for DTC brands, marketplace sellers, and B2B operators worldwide. Every team augmentation engagement is led by a senior operator — not a junior account manager — and shipped against a MER, contribution margin and new-customer LTV-based scorecard. Below: what's included, how it works, pricing, and the questions brands ask before hiring us.

How NORTH/ turned team augmentation into a growth engine.
A senior operator team took ownership of team augmentation end-to-end — diagnosis, plan, weekly build, monthly business review — and moved the number inside a single quarter.
"They plugged in like a senior in-house team from week one. Team Augmentation stopped being a monthly stress and started being the reason our quarter worked."

Team Augmentation is one of many services we run for growing ecommerce brands. What you do with it is up to you — let's chat.
Frequently asked questions.
What is Team Augmentation in ecommerce, and what does the service include?+
Team Augmentation is a consulting engagement inside our Growth Partner practice, focused on senior contractors slotted into your existing team. Every team augmentation engagement ships 5 concrete deliverables: Role scoping; Contractor sourcing; Onboarding + tooling; Weekly check-ins; Handover plan. Everything lives in a shared workspace with a weekly build log, so you see progress in real time rather than waiting for a monthly slide deck.
Which ecommerce brands are team augmentation services the right fit for?+
Our team augmentation service is designed for growth-stage DTC and marketplace brands. If the problem sounds like "blended CAC creeping up while spend flattens", this engagement is built for it. If you're pre-product-market-fit or under ~$1M in trailing revenue, we'll usually point you to a lighter Sprint or a Diagnostic instead of a full team augmentation retainer.
How much does team augmentation cost, and what are the pricing tiers?+
Three engagement shapes for team augmentation: Sprint (fixed scope, 4–6 weeks — best for a one-question team augmentation audit), Partner (quarterly retainer with weekly ship cadence — the most common shape for team augmentation), and Advisory (fractional, 6 or 12 months). Nothing performance-based — we've seen that misalign incentives every time. Exact pricing depends on scope; you get a written proposal after the intro call.
How long until we see results from team augmentation?+
First read in 30 days, compounding by day 90. Our target is senior capacity when you need it inside the first quarter of the team augmentation engagement, and no fte overhead that stays with your team afterwards.
What are the main benefits of hiring a team augmentation agency vs. building in-house?+
Speed and pattern recognition. A dedicated team augmentation agency has run the same play across dozens of ecommerce brands, so you skip the 6–12 months of trial-and-error an in-house hire would need. You also avoid fixed headcount cost: the engagement flexes up during launches and down between them.
Who actually runs the team augmentation work, and how is it reported?+
A senior operator owns the team augmentation account end-to-end. No junior AM behind a dashboard, no offshoring. Reporting is tied to MER, contribution margin and new-customer LTV. Every week we publish a build log with what shipped, what the data said, and the next bet. Every month we run a business review against forecast — no vanity metrics, no cherry-picked screenshots.
