Culture at ShipBob
ShipBob’s culture is rooted in collaboration, innovation, transparency, and a shared commitment to our merchants’ success and the success of our team members. Because we are solving some of the most difficult challenges in global ecommerce, we expect a lot from each other and have a high degree of shared accountability to ensure our merchants are successful. We celebrate our shared successes, learn from our mistakes, and continuously strive to be a place where our team members can do the most impactful work of their careers.
Radical transparency
Transparency is key to our success and creates an environment where good ideas come from anywhere within the organisation. We want our team members to fully understand what it takes to build a long-lasting global business, and we do this through regular company-wide town halls, all-hands meetings, AMA sessions, and continuous communication.
This way, team members understand our goals and opportunities to improve, and have the chance to engage openly with ShipBob’s leadership team. We believe we all perform better and drive results faster when everyone is armed with clarity on how we’re performing and what matters most to our merchants and our business.

EMPLOYEE STORIES
Hear what it’s like working at ShipBob
Manager, merchant success
Alyssa Colletti
When we meet our merchants in-person, we often greet them with a hug rather than a handshake. I think that is really powerful and speaks to the incredible partnerships we build! Our team is the face of ShipBob and plays a part in our merchants’ growth and success. The job itself is dynamic and challenging, yet so rewarding when we have those ‘a-ha’ moments, such as unlocking a new marketplace, optimising a merchant’s inventory placement, securing a long-term contract, helping a brand scale globally, and more.
Revenue Enablement Lead
Colleen Sheils
One of my favorite projects was collaborating with Business Development leadership to create a hybrid Business Development Representative (BDR) team. This shift to a hybrid model allowed us to conduct live, in-person training sessions rather than virtually, which had a significant impact. We saw increased engagement, faster skill development, and a growing office environment.
SR. Staff Software Development Engineer
Vaibhav Pingle
The Zone Skipping initiative was my first multi-team project at ShipBob, and I loved that I could showcase my ideas and knowledge and learn from others. I am proud of how smoothly we rolled it out. I was able to leverage my technical leadership skills and vast experience working on distributed backend and event driven systems to bring zone skipping to life.
Manager, Client Acquisition
Codee Burton
I oversee Account Executives in North America, responsible for driving revenue in one of our highest growth markets. I do weekly pipeline reviews to ensure accurate forecasting and quota achievement, and I empower my team by equipping them with the tools and resources they need to be successful. Many leaders have empowered me throughout my ShipBob journey and trusted me to make crucial decisions such as headcount, monthly business reviews, strategic pivots, and more. This has played an instrumental role in shaping me into a better leader.
Talent Partner
Vinita Arora
Seeing the India team grow from 7 to over 350 employees is a proud feeling. As a Talent Partner, I get to collaborate with multiple stakeholders, align with the hiring team at every step, and achieve success in finding the right candidate for the role. It’s such a delightful moment when a new hire joins us and goes on to do remarkable work and contribute to the success of ShipBob.
SR. Account Executive
James Risos
Working at ShipBob has inspired & motivated me to wake up every morning. Working in a new market (Australia) has been really exciting. We are really helping local Aussie brands and giving them access to our ecosystem, operations and technology so that they too can grow and scale.
