No BS summary
Partnerships/business development person with 2+ years in quota-carrying roles in the Shopify ecosystem. Must be comfortable owning agency and technology partner books, driving revenue, working with dev teams, and writing partner content.
At Skio, we’re on a mission to help Shopify brands grow faster by making subscriptions simple, powerful, and delightful. Since our founding in 2021, we’ve scaled to $30M+ ARR on just $8.4M raised. And we’re profitable. Hundreds of brands now trust Skio to power their subscription business, and we’re just getting started.
We run lean, move fast, and obsess over impact. With a minimal-meeting culture and a bias for action, we make reversible decisions quickly and reserve thoughtfulness for the ones that matter.
We value integrity, agency, and grind. We look for drivers, not passengers. Everyone wears many hats, takes ownership, and pushes themselves and the team to be world-class. No micro-management. You have full autonomy and responsibility.

ABOUT YOU
- You LOVE putting points on the board. 2+ years in quota-carrying roles (AE, Partner Manager, Business Dev, Account Management, etc.) in the Shopify ecosystem (Saas, agency, merchant)
- You're a power prioritizer. There is always a gazillion things going on. It's your job to understand where the leverage is, what is truly urgent, and respond + place bets accordingly
- You have a "win together" mindset. Internal partnerships are as important as our external partnerships
- You get energy from being around people. Shaking hands and IRL meetings are natural for you
- You nerd out about product and can wrap your head around the technical bits. No expectation that you can code but you'll be speaking with dev teams regularly. This is actually about empathy and understanding how product translates into value for your partners
- You're a great writer + comfortable creating content. You will be communicating with partners over Slack, email, in private newsletters, in ebooks, and LinkedIn posts/DMs every day. It helps if writing comes naturally. Expect limited marketing support
