How we’ll deliver success:
As Shippo continues to scale its partner ecosystem, we need to ensure that our smaller but high-potential partners (i.e. the “long tail” of our portfolio) receive proactive, thoughtful support.
The Associate Partner Manager (APM) role is designed to nurture and grow these emerging partnerships, ensuring they feel supported, connected, and strategically guided as they scale. This role bridges the gap between operational excellence, organization, strong external facing skillsets and to ensure that Shippo’s tools, programs, and support are helping these SMB partners thrive.
By managing a wide portfolio efficiently and staying organized across many moving parts, the APM helps Shippo:
- Build a strong foundation of future strategic partners.
- Surface new “hidden gems” that could become category leaders.
- Strengthen our reputation as a responsive, growth-oriented partner to businesses of all sizes.
