Senior Director of App Product

Here at Shippo, we are the shipping layer of the internet and we consider ourselves to be one of the core building blocks of e-commerce.

Our mission is to make merchants successful through world class shipping. With our products and solutions, we level the playing field by providing our customers with best-in-class solutions that otherwise wouldn’t be available to them. Through Shippo, e-commerce businesses, marketplaces, platforms and a variety of logistics infrastructure providers are able to connect to shipping carriers around the world from one API and dashboard. We provide our customers with the most competitive shipping rates, print labels, automated international documents, shipment tracking, facilitate the returns process and more.

How we'll deliver success:

We aim to create the best shipping experience for our merchants. Every year, 100,000+ merchants ship millions of orders on the Shippo platform, either directly through our App for smaller shippers, or through our APIs for shippers of larger size. As the Sr. Director of App Product, you and your team will work cross-functionally with go-to-market and product stakeholders to create the best shipping experiences for SMB merchants.

You will co-own the P&L for the entire app business with your GTM counterpart. Shippo is extremely user-centric and always makes product decisions by balancing insights from user research, customer data, and best practices. If you love moving fast, advocating for users, and making the complex feel simple, we’d love to meet you!
