Shopify Remote- & Homeoffice Jobs in Singapur

About Shopify

Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. We propel entrepreneurs and enterprises to scale the heights of their potential. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 8,300 employees and generated over $947 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.

This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.

About You

Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, and ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. Shopifolk thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Shopify is not the right place for everyone.

Before you apply, consider if you can:

• Care deeply about what you do and about making commerce better for everyone
• Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth
• Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter)
• Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
• Bring critical thought and opinion
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work
  
  
  

About The Role

At Shopify we believe in making commerce simple for scaling and enterprise brands. We give merchants the composability, reliability and flexibility they need to build their businesses and create economic independence. Shopify helps power commerce experiences for over 1 million companies like Gymshark, Suntory, AmericanEagle, Loccitane, Unilever and many more. We are in hyper-growth, building the tools and experiences for today’s leading brands and creating a level playing field for entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Shopify can’t make commerce simple alone. Scaling and enterprise brands need an ecosystem of world class agency partners to help them migrate to and grow on the Shopify platform. The Shopify Agency Partnerships team work across the organisation to enable scalable growth through:

• Recruiting new enterprise agency partner types to our partner program.
• Enabling these agency partners on how to sell and build on Shopify, through 1:1 and 1:many initiatives.
• Managing a book of high performing agency partners and ensuring they continue to grow in our partner program.
• Building the sales channel by collaboratively working with these Partners - co-selling with them, generating referrals from them and helping them scale capacity and skill to stay competent in the eco-system.
• Contributing to GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume) growth from partner referred merchants.
• Building effective GTM motions with our highest performing agency partners, targeted to specific merchant segments, and ensuring execution is at a high standard.
  
  
  

This role will be based in Japan so fluent Japanese and English are requirements for this role.

Using a combination of strong commercial acumen, a deep understanding of the agency landscape, as well as a good understanding of the Shopify platform, you and your team will be responsible for implementing our global partner program in Japan. This will be a hands on role where your team will work primarily across larger merchants (scaling to enterprise brands) and you and your team will need to develop and lead projects to drive the sustainable acquisition of new partners, the enablement of these partners, build partner management service models and have a strong sense of how these projects are creating impact for partners, merchants and Shopify. All while collaborating cross functionally across the broader APAC and global teams.

Real talk: being a member of a fast-moving team doing cutting edge work in a hyper growth environment is not always easy. That said, being pushed to the top of your game with smart, dedicated and highly-engaged colleagues and partners is incredibly fulfilling and a great catalyst for personal growth.
