Role Description This is a Founding AE seat. You own the US sales motion end to end — and you build it as you go. There is no playbook yet; you write it. You will source and close e-commerce and Shopify merchants for our unified post-purchase and retention suite, and stand up the pipeline, process, and playbook that the next AEs will run on. This is for a hunter who is energized by a blank page — not someone who needs a system handed to them. If you do your best work when you are given a target and trusted to figure out the rest, read on. - Own the full sales cycle for e-commerce/Shopify merchants: prospecting, discovery, demo, negotiation, close. - Build pipeline from scratch — outbound, inbound, events, and the ecosystem (agencies, 3PLs, app partners). - Hit and beat aggressive new-revenue targets, and forecast honestly. - Build the sales engine, not just close deals: create the playbook, process, and CRM discipline (we run on HubSpot), and turn what works into a repeatable system instead of tribal knowledge in your head. - Partner cross-functionally with Partnerships, Customer Success, Product, and our engineering/data team to win and onboard accounts. - Be Product's strongest signal from the market — bring field insight and merchant needs into the roadmap, and keep a tight, two-way feedback loop with Product that drives iteration. Qualifications - 3+ years of closing, quota-carrying sales experience in e-commerce and the Shopify ecosystem. - Deep knowledge of Shopify and the broader e-commerce ecosystem — apps, agencies, 3PLs, and the post-purchase landscape. - A real hunter: ambitious, self-driven, and resilient under pressure. You push deals forward and you don't fold when it gets hard. - High-goal orientation with a strong bias to action — you set the bar high and drive toward it without being told to. - Structured thinking and the ability to build systems — you create process, documentation, and repeatable motions where none exist today. - A documented track record of quota attainment and deals you personally sourced and closed. - Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. Requirements - Experience in post-purchase, retention, shipping, or logistics (carriers, 3PLs, fulfillment) — directly relevant to what we sell. Benefits - True 0-to-1 ownership. You build the US sales function — you don't inherit one. - Direct access to C-level leadership. You'll work with and report directly to senior executives — your wins define the playbook and the team that comes after you. - Outsized impact and upside. [Competitive base + uncapped commission; equity — confirm] - Starting Pay: 80-120K + Commission, depends on experiences, open to negotiation - 401(k) - PTO - Paid Holidays - Insurance
