About the Role

This is a seat for someone who is commercially savvy, brings monetization ideas of their own, and arrives with a book of business already in hand. It's a strategic role with a broad mandate over key merchant relationships and commercial negotiations, not a caretaker seat.

You’ll operate with real autonomy over your own portfolio, while partnering closely with the Head of Business Development to shape the wider business development strategy, pipeline, and team.

Note: This role is based in Austin, Texas. Relocation support is provided.

ShopBacker Traits

• Agency - We take ownership and act, rather than waiting for permission. When something's blocking progress, we find a way through it and follow through until it's done.
• Judgement - We aim for high-impact decisions, not just easy wins, and we put the bigger picture ahead of individual interests. That means moving quickly and confidently, while staying thoughtful about when a call really matters.
• Learning Velocity - We pick up new skills fast and let go of old habits just as quickly when something better comes along. We benchmark ourselves against the best and keep raising our own bar.
• Tenacity - We stay in it when things get hard, keeping a level head under pressure. We debate openly before deciding, then commit fully - and support each other along the way.

What's in it for ShopBackers

• Career growth opportunities to take on greater challenges that help you realise your ambitions.
• Be part of a winning team on a journey to global scale.
• Competitive compensation based on performance.
• Candid, open, and collaborative culture where feedback is valued.
