Senior Account Executive - Shoplift.ai

Role: Senior Account Executive

Shoplift is a venture-backed, seed-stage SaaS startup. We're growing fast and need to transition from founder-led sales to a more repeatable and scalable motion.

About us:

We help e-commerce merchants maximize revenue by optimizing their storefront's sales conversion potential with automated A/B testing.

Shoplift is the first platform to offer Shopify merchants a truly no-code A/B testing experience

that natively integrates with their Shopify storefront. Compared with legacy tools that offer merchants a clunky visual editor that tries to read a site's front-end, Shoplift cuts out this abstraction layer, which gives users dramatically more power and flexibility to interact with test variants as if they were editing their own theme. We also recently launched an exciting new feature called Lift Assist™ that uses merchants’ brand styles to generate entirely new page components in real-time.
