We are pioneering AI-driven post-purchase solutions, from smart shipment tracking and returns management to personalized product recommendations and AI-powered delivery estimates.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and maintain robust relationships with key eCommerce and social platforms, with Shopify being your primary focus partner;
• Identify and capitalize on integration and collaboration opportunities;
• Work closely with product, marketing, sales, and customer success teams to align partnership objectives with company goals;

• Exceptional interpersonal skills and high emotional intelligence;
• Deep understanding of the B2B SaaS and eCommerce landscapes;
• Proven track record in establishing successful partnerships in eCommerce or related industries;
• Strategic thinker with strong commercial acumen to navigate complex partnership deal cycles at the enterprise level;
• Ambitious, team-oriented, and passionate about building and nurturing business relationships.

We are always looking for people who can help us continue to raise the bar for our team and who want to join us on our mission.
