This role sits at the intersection of enterprise commerce architecture, active sales engagement, and talent leadership. You will be expected to command deep, hands-on knowledge of the Shopify Plus ecosystem and the broader technology stack that surrounds it-including ERP integrations, enterprise search, customer data platforms, and headless commerce patterns-and translate that expertise into winning proposals, trusted client partnerships, and a world-class team.

• Evaluate and stay ahead of emerging Shopify platform capabilities (e.g., Shopify Audiences, Checkout Extensibility, Editions releases) and translate them into client-ready solutions and internal playbooks.
• Serve as the practice's ultimate authority on technical feasibility, scalability, and integration strategy for Shopify Plus engagements.

Delivery Leadership

• Oversee technical delivery across global, cross-functional teams delivering enterprise Shopify Plus solutions, ensuring quality, performance, and client satisfaction at scale.
• Establish governance frameworks, risk mitigation strategies, and delivery KPIs tailored to the pace and complexity of commerce platform engagements. -

• Partner closely with business development and account teams to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing Shopify Plus engagements.
• Serve as a credible, senior technical voice in client-facing conversations-building trust, managing expectations, and positioning our practice as a strategic partner, not just a vendor.
• Maintain and deepen relationships with Shopify's partner and alliance teams, ensuring we are positioned for early access to new programs, beta capabilities, and co-sell opportunities.

Practice Development & Talent Growth

• Mentor and coach Shopify architects, technical leads, and engineers across regions-actively investing in their growth and career trajectories.
• Drive Shopify-specific certification and enablement programs (e.g., Shopify Partner certifications, Shopify Developer certifications) and build learning paths that keep the team at the forefront of platform innovation.

• Sales Pipeline Contribution: Actively participate in pursuits contributing to at least $8M in unweighted Shopify Commerce pipeline annually, with a target of closing $3M+ in new logos or significant expansions. 
• Individual Billability: Maintain a minimum of 50% individual billable utilization, balanced against the practice-building and sales activities inherent to this role.

• Strong command of the enterprise commerce technology stack surrounding Shopify Plus-including ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite), enterprise search (Elasticsearch, Algolia), CDPs (Segment, mParticle, Salesforce Data Cloud), PIM, OMS, and payment platforms.
• Proven track record of participating in or leading sales pursuits, proposals, and client-facing solutioning conversations-comfortable owning a technical narrative in a competitive deal.
• Experience building, leading, and growing distributed technical teams-hiring, mentoring, retaining senior talent, and creating cultures of technical excellence.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to operate fluently across executive, technical, and commercial audiences.
