About Hip eCommerce

We’re passionate collectors building the world’s most efficient, specialized collectible communities—unifying buyers, sellers, and fans in one seamless ecosystem. Our vision is to know where every collectible is, who owns it, who wants it, and to use technology to bring them together.

Today, we operate three flagship marketplaces—HipComic, HipStamp, and HipPostcard—each powered by advanced tech/tools, and our My Collection app for collectors to instantly track and value their comics with the snap of a photo. We’re a fast-growing, VC-backed company with a vibrant, fully remote team spanning the United States and the Philippines. Our employees are our greatest asset, and we’re committed to delivering the best possible experience to our community.

About the Position

Are you a seasoned customer success leader with a dual passion for buyer and seller experiences?

As our Customer Success Manager, you’ll report to the VP of Growth and lead a team of Customer Success Agents.
