Apprentice Product Manager Program

About the role

Shopify’s Apprentice Product Manager (APM) role is a paid 12 month position, made up of two team placements, designed to develop early product talent into future product leaders.

As an APM, you’ll learn how products are developed at Shopify, supported by a dedicated mentor, a working community of peers, and a comprehensive learning program. You’ll work alongside some of the best product managers in the industry on products that will have a real impact on our merchants.

The Opportunity

• Join a high performing Product team that will constantly push you to grow and improve. Real talk - get comfortable with being uncomfortable

• Take part in the product development life cycle at Shopify

• Learn Shopify’s product management craft

• Complete two different team placements, with a Senior Product Manager on the team to guide and coach you through your journey

Participants are expected to learn rapidly, adapt, and achieve impactful results for our merchants within 12 months. If you prefer detailed direction and a clear roadmap to follow, this role probably isn’t for you.

Qualifications

We are looking for:

• Driven individuals with a history of positive impact and overcoming adversity

• Resourceful self-starters who are energized by challenges and ambiguity

• A track record of leading and executing to get substantial things done end-to-end

• An understanding of the current tech landscape and the products within it

• An AI-builder mindset - leveraging the latest AI tools and models to level-up your processes and capabilities

• Legally eligible to work from Canada and/or the US by January 12th, 2026

• Able to work a minimum of 40 hours per week as of January 2026. This is not a part time opportunity

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.
