VP Marketing

We believe conversations will become the #1 way to shop.

At Gorgias, we’re building the platform that makes this real: a unified AI agent that sells, supports, and re-engages customers across the entire journey. Conversational Commerce is the future of ecommerce, and we’re leading that shift.

Our mission is to turn every interaction between a brand and its customers into a relationship: personal, seamless, and intelligent. By combining deep product expertise with the latest in AI, we’re making shopping feel more natural, human, and connected than ever before.

To win, we focus relentlessly on:

• Quality: conversations that feel authentic and on-brand.

• Experience: effortless shopping from chat to checkout.

• Re-engagement: personal, 1-1 dialogue instead of noisy marketing.

The opportunity is massive. As AI reshapes how people buy, Gorgias is building the foundation for the next decade of ecommerce, where every brand has its own intelligent agent and every customer feels understood.

Join us to make Conversational Commerce real.

Our product: The Conversational Commerce Platform for Shopify

We’ve built the #1 helpdesk for Shopify, powering over 16,000 merchants worldwide.

Now, we’re building the future of ecommerce: an AI agent that helps brands sell, support, and engage customers through conversations.

Over 2,500 merchants already use our AI agent to automate support, improve service quality, and scale faster.

Next, we’re expanding the AI agent to help shoppers find what they want, turning every chat into a shopping experience.

This is the foundation of Conversational Commerce, where every customer interaction becomes personal, seamless, and revenue-driving.

Historically, most of our customers were SMBs and mid-market merchants. But that’s changing fast: we’re now winning much larger merchants, including recent deals up to $400K per year.

Context: Marketing at Gorgias

Gorgias marketing has historically been demand-gen led, fueling strong SMB growth.

As we evolve toward Conversational Commerce, our biggest opportunity is to educate merchants on how AI can transform the way their customers shop, from transactional to conversational experiences.

We’re now looking for a product marketing leader who can turn this vision into clear positioning, compelling narratives, and effective enablement for our fast-growing mid-market and enterprise segments.

We’ve learned a lot from past marketing leadership experiences, each contributed to our growth. But today, we have a sharper understanding of what long-term success requires. That’s why we’re being deliberate: we’re seeking a leader with deep product marketing expertise, capable of bridging vision and execution, even if that means having less focus on demand gen or brand.

AI at GorgiasAt Gorgias, AI is a natural extension of how we work and build. Our teams use it every day to research, write, analyze, code, and craft better customer experiences. Everyone has access to premium AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Granola & others) and an annual L&D budget to explore new ones.

The real magic happens when we share what we learn. Our #powerup Slack channel is a digital petri dish of new tools and workflows, and each team has AI champions who showcase fresh ideas during weekly company-wide standups, now practically AI demo sessions.

We see AI not as a replacement for creativity or empathy, but as a multiplier, helping us move faster, think deeper, and serve customers better.AI use in Recruiting at GorgiasBy submitting your application, you agree that Gorgias may collect and process your personal data for recruiting, workforce planning, and related purposes.
