• Familiarity with Salesforce, Hubspot, Metabase, and Chargebee (or equivalent BI/CRM tools).
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• A growth mindset and appetite for experimentation.

• Our people - for real! StoreHubbers are some of the smartest and most interesting people you can work with. Expect to do a lot of peer-learning.
• Culture of Candour. We embrace directness, hate bureaucracy, and move fast. If you're tired of 'corporate nonsense' you'll feel right at home.
• Cutting edge tools. If something can be automated, we'll make it happen. You will be introduced to many different tools we use that support everyday tasks, so that we can focus our minds on the kind of work that matters.
• Impact not just effort. We recognize that results are not tied to the number of hours worked. There's no reward for long hours with poor results and no penalty for leaving on time if your work is excellent. To be great, most of us have to put in considerable effort, but we don't measure contribution by hard work or long hours.

Our core values are super important to us. The more you resonate with them, the more you'll find yourself a good fit.
