Hey I’m Devin Zander 👋! I’m the co-founder and CEO of Skup, a remote-first Shopify app company that gives you everything you need to quickly start, grow and scale your e-commerce business.
Our team of 17 people (based all over the world), work to develop unique tools and training that can transform our customer’s Shopify stores into multi million-dollar businesses. It’s pretty amazing to hear our customer results (and the thing that drives us the most). 🤓
I’m writing this unusually personal post from the first person because I’m in need of help (and I’m hoping you can be the right person to solve this problem 🤞) .
As a marketing and creative-first CEO, I’ve been struggling over the past few years to scale the company as fast as we’ve grown. Quite honestly, we have amazing team members, but we’ve never had an Operations person to make the entire machine run smoothly. I’ve tried, but it’s just not my best skill set.
Now that we’ve really found our stride, I’m hoping to find the perfect fit for our company and to bring on someone who is excited about transforming Skup into the best version of itself.

Now that we’ve really found our stride, I’m hoping to find the perfect fit for our company and to bring on someone who is excited about transforming Skup into the best version of itself.
As a company, we’ve been built upon certain values within our team. We aim to grow a
family that is always:
- Honest and Insightful
- Engaging and Well-informed
- Solution Experts
- Proactive and Consistent
From a high-level, here are my current expectations of the role (but, who knows… this may change dependent on our needs):
- Meet the team (we use Slack) - set up 1:1’s, review meetings, and get to know everyone. The team aspect will be the most important part of the job!
- Review our current organizational systems and audit what we have
- Create new operational systems for the company to build upon (operational, engineering, HR, customer success, and finance)
- Creating team OKR’s to work towards as a team (each department)
- Add documentation and materials into Notion (our company Wiki)
- Meetings with department heads for on-going projects (you’ll be meeting with me, our CTO, and any other leads who are involved)
- Bi-Weekly meeting with myself to go over Business Development ideas and project scopes (we can set up a time that works best for you)
- Day to day focus on management processes, implementing new ideas, and working with team members to solve problems
- Hiring process updates and being the lead to hire, onboarding, and manage new team members
Honestly, it’ll be a role that has many responsibilities, but the general goal will simply be to help our team run more efficiently.
Since we’ll be working together on such a close basis, I wanted to hear more about what YOU think it’ll take to succeed in this role.
