📋 Description

• Define and own the architectural patterns and best practices for enterprise Shopify Plus deployments, including headless/composable commerce, Shopify Functions, Markets Pro, and B2B capabilities. • Lead the design of end-to-end commerce ecosystems spanning Shopify Plus and adjacent enterprise systems—ERP (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite), enterprise search (Elasticsearch, Algolia), CDP/CRM (Salesforce, Segment, mParticle), PIM, OMS, and payment gateways. • 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. • 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. - • Act as a technical escalation point and actively unblock delivery teams, modeling the kind of senior leadership and decisiveness the practice requires.  • Build, retain, and develop a high-performing team of Shopify architects, engineers, and solution leads—setting clear expectations, creating growth paths, and fostering a culture of technical excellence. • Own the technical narrative in the sales process: participate actively in discovery, solutioning, estimation, architecture design, and proposal development for Shopify Plus pursuits. • 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. • 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. • Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, solution playbooks, case studies, and reusable architecture assets that accelerate delivery and sales across the practice.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in enterprise technology leadership within a consulting, systems integration, or agency environment—with at least 3–4 years specifically in Shopify Plus or a comparable enterprise commerce platform. • Deep, hands-on expertise in the Shopify Plus platform: Shopify Functions, Checkout Extensibility, Markets Pro, B2B, headless/composable commerce architectures, and the Shopify app ecosystem. • 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.
