  • Represent Kintsugi at ecommerce conferences and industry events.

  • Collaborate with sales, marketing, and product to create enablement resources that keep partners aligned with Kintsugi’s growth.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, or channel sales, ideally in ecommerce, fintech, or SaaS.

  • Strong understanding of the ecommerce ecosystem, including agencies, platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Amazon), app marketplaces, and the merchants they serve.

  • Entrepreneurial and highly autonomous, and comfortable figuring things out in a fast-paced startup environment.

  • Organized and detail-oriented, with experience using CRM tools to manage pipeline and relationships.

  • Strong communicator and relationship builder who can influence founders, operators, and agency leaders.

  • Bonus: Experience hosting events or representing a company at conferences, or familiarity with sales tax and marketplace nexus.
