We’re looking for individuals that start by delivering differentiated experiences with partnerships and drawn out successful joint go to market programs with partners. This isn’t simply a relationship or business development role, you and your team will set direction for a squad of engineers and designers to drive partnerships initiatives forward.
We’re looking for individuals with a track record of driving and launching transformative products at scale and rallying the business - from frontline to execs - to deliver impact for customers and ultimately results. In this role, you will lay the foundation for tech partnerships at Shogun, and all eyes will be on you to drive clarity and make hard choices in a fast-moving environment.
We are looking for individuals that naturally identify customer pain points, champion them with qualitative and quantitative data to partners, build business cases for investment, and drive solutions that account not only for the technical teams but also GTM. You will work closely with our co-founders, CTO and VP of Product on delivering the best of breed solutions that ecommerce customers demand.

- Motivate a group of committed, smart people to do the best work of their careers
- Ultimately, deliver products that Shogun clients love
Skills You Have

- A connector of people and ideas - building relationships with people and organizations is not only a skill but a trait that you embody
- Design thinking comes to you naturally - a natural desire to work backwards from the customer problem and constantly check assumptions
- Proven experience working with both qualitative customer insights, and quantitative customer data to inform decisions
- Familiarity with fundamental web technologies including but not limited to JAMstack, Progressive Web Applications, and Content Management Systems - bonus points for articulating “Headless”
- A working understanding of the ecommerce landscape such as the major platform players and modular components that merchants rely on to grow their businesses
Traits You Demonstrate
- Highly driven and entrepreneurial personality with the ability to get stuff done while maintaining attention to detail
- Desire to meet people where they are with information and context in order to bring the whole team along on the journey
- Passion for solving customer problems, big and small, and the ability to leave your ego at the door with better information
