Qualification
Required
Knowledge of the ecommerce space. Be able to become a thought leader around ecommerce and fulfilment, you can build a solid credibility with ecosystem partners
Technical aptitude or knowledge. Most top partnerships require a direct integration with ShipBob's fulfillment software. You don't have to know how to write code, but aptitude in comprehending integrations, APIs, and the functionality of integrations is essential
Maturity in business development skills. You will be managing the day-to-day relationship with partners. You should be comfortable and empowered in negotiating the proper structures, contracts, etc. to ensure success
Entrepreneurial/self-starter tendencies. No one will tell you what to do every day in this role, so you will have to create your own roadmap. The ability to work autonomously and reach firm conclusions using messy or incomplete data is crucial

Ability to 'scale yourself'. This is not a sales role but does carry revenue targets, so you must make the best use of your time by prioritizing, automating, and working through others where possible vs. pursuing your own wins exclusively
The ideal candidate will have 4+ years of experience in partnerships and a pre-established network of agency partners
