VP, Marketing

Who we are

At Skipify, our mission is to eliminate friction in the shopper's journey while helping merchants build even stronger relationships with their customers. We are an early stage technology platform that is building the next generation of ubiquitous ecommerce infrastructure to bring the most efficient checkout experience to shoppers—wherever, whenever they want to make a purchase. We bridge the gap between financial institutions, ecommerce providers, and merchants so shoppers can simply enter their email and checkout instantly, with all their details pre-filled. 

The challenge ahead is unprecedented and oftentimes will find us having to define the opportunity for ourselves, as well as the industry at large. That means you have the unique latitude to roll up your sleeves and be a leading voice in defining the vision that drives the next generation of shopping experiences.

Who you’ll be working with

At Skipify, we believe in a culture of autonomy; the ability to use values to take action. But autonomy doesn’t mean you’re isolated. Far from it. Our team focuses on collaboration and alignment, ensuring you have all the resources required to solve the next set of problems. 

The product team at Skipify sets the vision for our products and works closely with other disciplines across the company to successfully execute on the broader organizational vision.  The Product team epitomizes our core value of hiring for people, not for roles–no task is too small, no job is out of scope–and as a part of this team you see yourself leading the charge on solving the right problems, and enjoying the thrill of the challenge.

This role will also serve a broader purpose of building out industry relationships for Skipify and be a thought leader in the industry helping to evangelize Skipify’s development philosophy and promote our product philosophy and values.  If you’re passionate about unpacking how people perceive problems and creating powerful messages for those to take action, then we want to hire you!
