Founding General Manager, US at Digismoothie

About us

We’re a bunch of like-minded people who love e-commerce and Shopify. We are a Shopify Plus Partner agency, and we also build apps trusted by 17,000+ merchants.

We are 100% bootstrapped, meaning we answer only to our clients and our common sense. We’ve built a European Shopify powerhouse based in Prague, and now we are looking for a leader to establish and scale our presence in North America.

This is not a "9-to-5" job. This is a founding-style role for a Sales Hunter with Entrepreneurial Ambition.

In Year 1, you will spearhead our US expansion, acting as a hands-on builder. You will focus heavily on sourcing high-value Shopify leads and building a network of strategic partnerships. As the US portfolio grows, your focus will transition toward operational leadership – scaling the US entity, and hiring and leading your own local team.

Who we are looking for

Sales Hunter: You have a proven track record in e-commerce sales and a network that respects your name.
Leader: You have experience managing people and know how to build a high-performing culture.
Networker: You are a natural at building relationships and closing deals through partnerships.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: You don't just want a job; you want to build a company. You are comfortable with ambiguity and have the grit to build from the ground up.
Shopify Expert: You have deep experience with the Shopify platform. Ideally, you’ve worked at Shopify or a top-tier Shopify agency.

Requirements

Drive Revenue: Proactively identify and close new business opportunities for Shopify development projects (new builds and migrations).
Build the Ecosystem: Create and nurture strategic partnerships with other agencies, tech partners, and influencers in the US e-commerce space.
Brand Ambassador: Increase brand awareness of Digismoothie in the US. You are the "face" of our brand across the ocean.
Strategic Consulting: Assist clients as a local expert during the sales process and provide high-level US-based business consultations.
Future Leadership: Transition from an individual contributor to the Manager of our upcoming US entity, eventually hiring and leading a local team.

Why join us

Competitive Compensation: High base salary + Uncapped OTE. We want you to be highly rewarded for the business you bring.
Stability & Autonomy: Work for a profitable, carbon-neutral company that values results over "office hours."
Premium Benefits: Full Healthcare (Medical, Dental, Vision) via EOR, 25 days of PTO + 5 sick days + US Federal holidays.
Proven Delivery Team: You sell, we deliver. You’ll have a world-class team of developers, designers, and PMs ready to execute your deals at the highest level.
Founding Role: A clear, documented growth path to becoming the head of our US subsidiary.

Recruitment process

We know your time is precious and are strong believers in efficient and brisk recruitment. That’s why our hiring process is online end-to-end:

Our first chat will be an intro call, where we’ll outline Digismoothie as a company and the projects that are currently underway.
Then you’ll get a practical assignment, which will give you a better idea of what your job would be like, along with a chance to demonstrate your talent and strengths.
The final step is meeting the team, discussing your solution and answering any remaining questions.

It’s worth mentioning that every role is different, and that can be reflected in the hiring process. What goes without saying, on the other hand, is that we put high value on honesty and transparency.
