Description
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:
Shippo R&D is seeking a Senior Product Manager to develop and execute a strategic roadmap for our Label and Rating APIs. The Senior Product Manager is responsible for planning and releasing features and services that enable customers of all types and sizes to fulfill their orders. The scope includes capabilities such as rate shopping, bulk label purchase, hazmat shipping, scheduled pickups, manifesting, and more. Shippo supports rating and labels across more than 40 carrier integrations, packaged under a set of APIs which power shipping workflows for merchants everywhere. You will be a champion for our customers, both shippers and external developers who integrate to our APIs. Your strategy will be driven by customer empathy and business acumen. You will define success metrics rooted in customer adoption and business impact.
What Success Looks Like:
You’ll solve real customer problems with big impact. You will make difficult prioritization decisions based on customer and business impact, known variables and unknown assumptions, and awareness of overall company strategy. You will develop a strong strategic view of our suite of API products and how they must change in order to maximize value. Your teammates will rely on you to keep everyone aligned. You will leverage effective communication skills to align individuals of all levels at Shippo, across carrier partnerships, customer success, strategic partnerships, and our senior leadership team. You will engage deeply with your engineering partners to identify areas of optimization, whether through process or technology, and absorb those into your roadmap.

Shippos in the wild:
Our people, much like the packages we help ship, are all over the world. This means, through our remote-first program, “Shippos Everywhere”, our roles can be based anywhere in the US with the exception of Delaware, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Hawaii, New Mexico and West Virginia and many roles can be based internationally.
For locations outside of the US and Ireland, the employment contracts are powered by Remote.com (all Shippo perks still apply - including equity!). What we want to emphasize is that you can be successful at Shippo regardless of location.
