Enterprise Agency Partner Manager

At Shopify we believe in making commerce simple for entrepreneurs and enterprise brands. We give merchants the scalability, reliability and flexibility they need to build their businesses and create economic independence. Shopify helps power commerce experiences for over 2 million companies like JB Hi-Fi, Culture Kings, Allbirds, 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. 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 works across the organization to enable scalable growth through:

• Identifying enterprise agency partners
• Working with a group of enterprise ready, high growth partners to accelerate the growth of Shopify in the ANZ region
• Enabling these partners on our platform’s capability, through a high-touch dedicated service model.
• Generating net new merchant referrals from partners.
• Contributing to GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume) growth from partner referred merchants.
• Building effective GTM engines with our partners for specific merchant segments.
• Co-create and execute Joint Business Plans with our enterprise partners, to ensure net merchant growth and GMV and revenue growth goals are met.

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.
