Business Development Representative
Role Overview
ShipBob is a leading global supply chain and fulfillment technology platform designed for SMB and Mid-Market ecommerce merchants to provide them access to best-in-class capabilities and to deliver a delightful shopper experience. Merchants can outsource their entire fulfillment operations, utilize ShipBob’s proprietary warehouse management system for in-house fulfillment, or take advantage of a hybrid solution across ShipBob’s dozens of fulfillment center network in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. ShipBob is backed by leading investors like Menlo Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Hyde Park Venture Partners, and SoftBank Vision Fund 2, and is one of the fastest-growing tech companies headquartered in Chicago.
At ShipBob, every full-time employee gets access to our best-in-class AI and productivity tools from Day 1 at no cost. This isn't a pilot or a perk for select teams. It's standard for everyone. We believe innovation isn't owned by one department. Whether you're in Talent, Operations, Finance, Engineering, or Customer Success, we expect you to ask: how can this be done better, faster, or smarter? These tools are our investment in your ability to find those answers.
Use of AI-Assisted Tools During Recruitment
We may use AI-assisted tools during the recruitment process to support administrative functions such as transcribing interviews, generating summaries or notes, organizing interview feedback, facilitating candidate communications, and helping recruiters identify candidates whose qualifications may align with job requirements. These tools are designed to assist our recruiting team and are not used to make final hiring decisions. Hiring decisions are made by trained human reviewers who consider the candidate's application, interview performance, qualifications, experience, and other relevant factors. AI-assisted tools do not independently determine whether a candidate advances in the hiring process or receives an offer of employment. Where required by applicable law, candidates will be provided with notice regarding our use of AI-assisted technologies and, where available, information about any applicable rights relating to such processing, including the ability to request additional information or opt out of certain AI-assisted processing activities. Candidates who exercise available opt-out rights may be reviewed through alternative processes consistent with applicable law.
ShipBob provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, c ompensation and training.
There is no deadline to apply for this position, as ShipBob accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
