Head of Agency Partnerships

ShipperHQ is a bootstrapped market leader in e-commerce shipping technology. Founded in 2008, we’ve built a durable, profitable business helping brands solve complex checkout and fulfillment challenges. We power shipping logic for thousands of merchants globally, from high-growth DTC brands to enterprise retailers.

Agency partnerships are a core pillar of our go-to-market strategy and drive roughly one-third of company revenue. Many of our agency relationships date back to our earliest years and remain active today. We operate with a disciplined, performance-driven culture where accountability is real and high-impact leaders have meaningful ownership.

We are hiring a Head of Agency Partnerships to lead and scale one of the most important revenue channels in the business.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role. You will own the agency revenue number and represent the channel in executive revenue planning. The role reports directly to the C-suite and carries full accountability for agency channel performance.

You will deepen relationships within our established agency network while expanding our footprint across key ecosystems, particularly Shopify and Salesforce Commerce Cloud. You will lead a small partnerships team while remaining actively engaged in strategic agency relationships and market-facing initiatives.

This is not a support function. Agency is a distinct GTM pillar at ShipperHQ, and this role is responsible for its continued growth and evolution.

You will be accountable for agency channel revenue performance, balancing relationship cultivation with net-new partner expansion.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong executive communication and negotiation skills
• Comfortable leading a small team while remaining actively involved in strategic accounts

• Strong analytical and operational rigor; able to independently gather, structure, and interpret channel performance data using modern tools and automation

You should be commercially driven, externally credible, and motivated by owning a material revenue channel within a disciplined, growth-focused organization.

This is a salaried leadership role with full revenue accountability.

You will own agency channel revenue performance and be evaluated on measurable impact, including revenue growth, partner engagement, and ecosystem expansion. Strong performance leads to expanded scope and long-term leadership opportunity within the GTM organization.
