A successful applicant should have a working understanding of different frameworks and methodologies to apply given a particular project dynamic.

- Build and apply AI tooling to project work to accelerate progress and enhance the quality of output.
- Own the successful, efficient onboarding of Enterprise merchants new to Shopify to the platform or portions of it.
- Ensure merchant requirements are documented and adhered to throughout the course of the project, managing scope creep and stakeholder expectations.

- Track, and report on project progress and roadblocks requiring escalation for the portfolio of projects managed by the team.
- Track relevant team capacity and resource allocation, and manage project budgets.
- Build relationships at multiple levels within a partner and merchant’s organization using executive presence to fully understand their business and their approach to commerce innovation.
- Leverage the merchant relationship to identify more growth opportunities inside the Shopify offerings. Assist with merchant or partner opportunity nurturing through partnering with the engagement team.

About Shopify
Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. We propel entrepreneurs and enterprises to scale the heights of their potential. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 8,300 employees and generated over $1 trillion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.
This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.
About You
Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, and ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. Shopifolk thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Shopify is not the right place for everyone.
Before you apply, consider if you can:
- Care deeply about what you do and about making commerce better for everyone
- Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth
- Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter)
- Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
- Bring critical thought and opinion
- Put AI agents and tools to work on the tasks they're built for, and focus on the work only humans can do
- Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
- Work digital-first for your daily work
We may use AI-enabled tools to screen, select, and assess applications. All AI outputs are reviewed and validated by our recruitment team.
