What is an ecommerce job?

What does an ecommerce job mean to you? Is it a technical job, where someone has skills in HTML programming? Or is it just about any job working in an online business.

This week I've been asking myself just what people mean when they advertise an ecommerce job.
The question has become quite pressing now that I've added an ecommerce jobs page to my www.ecommercereport.com.au web-site.
I find that the jobs I'm listing, which are selectively culled from those listed at the big generalist Australian job sites (like Seek, Careeone, My Career etc, (and some smaller niche ones like LinkedIn) are very diverse.
There are marketing jobs, technical jobs, project management and indeed a wide variety of other management jobs.
Now thats a problem because the people looking for technical jobs, involving programming, coding, design etc, are very different from those looking for marketing jobs, and/or those looking for management jobs.
I'd like to break down my jobs pages into separate sections, so as to make it easier to find those jobs they're interested in.
And I'd like your help to let me know what would make sense.
What should the categories be?

From my experience in the industry i think it can be broken down into 3 areas.

1) Product / service - in the complex world of wholesalers, channel managers, distribution channels, software suites, etc. one needs to build a technical interface to handle the varying channels of product or service that is eventually sorted and displayed to the consumer.

2) Technology - this is to do with web design, networking, graphics, statistics, back offices, etc.

3) Content and Marketing - copy writing, seo, blogs, article marketing, ppc, etc.
