Lazer Commerce is a specialized team within Lazer focused on crafting scalable, high-performing commerce experiences across the Shopify ecosystem. We partner with forward-thinking brands and agencies to design and implement custom storefronts, headless architectures, and robust backend integrations. From theme development to complex ERP and OMS workflows, our engineers bring deep expertise in Shopify, modern frameworks, and commerce infrastructure to help clients launch, scale, and optimize their digital retail experiences.

Who You Are:

• A product-minded leader with 5+ years of experience in client services, technical sales, commerce consulting, or product management

• Deep understanding of the Shopify ecosystem — from platform capabilities to partner apps and merchant needs

• Strong communicator across mediums — whether it’s a C-level pitch, a quick Slack message, or a detailed follow-up doc

• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, asking smart questions, and unblocking teams to keep projects moving

• Highly organized and detail-obsessed — you keep your CRM clean, your notes sharp, and your tasks on time

• Trusted partner to both clients and internal teams — able to manage expectations, resolve conflicts, and build long-term relationships

• Natural at spotting commercial opportunities and thinking beyond the current scope to expand accounts

What You'll Do:

• Own the full sales motion for Shopify Commerce leads — from first conversation through signed proposal

• Conduct discovery calls that get to the heart of what’s needed (not just what’s requested)

• Collaborate with Solutions Architects and the Delivery team to scope accurate, compelling proposals

• Lead proposals and pitches, ensuring they’re aligned with technical feasibility and client goals

• Act as the main point of contact for clients throughout pre-sale, implementation, and post-launch

• Build strong, trusted relationships through consistent communication (calls, texts, Slack, emails — whatever it takes)

• Partner with Delivery leads to ensure smooth transitions from sales to execution, with proper knowledge transfer

• Identify and escalate blockers, manage internal and external expectations, and ensure high-quality delivery

• Spot and develop new opportunities within existing accounts through roadmap planning and strategic conversations

• Champion best practices for process, communication, and client experience across the Commerce team

Nice to Have:

• Previous experience at a digital product agency, Shopify consultancy, or commerce-focused startup

• Hands-on experience with Shopify builds, migrations, or custom implementations

• Exposure to commerce platforms beyond Shopify (e.g., BigCommerce, Magento)

• Experience working with cross-functional product teams (design, engineering, strategy)

• 🏗️ You Crave High Structure: We thrive in an autonomous, fast-moving environment, which means you need to be comfortable with some ambiguity.

• 😴 You Prefer Conventional Careers: Our consulting approach involves varied projects and direct client interaction — it's not for everyone.

• 🏖️ Unlimited PTO: Everyone needs a break. Take at least 15 days off a year, and more if you need—just be cool about it and keep the team in mind.
