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 $947 billion 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:
Finance’s mission is to help support Shopify’s growth over the long-term and ensure we achieve our objective of making commerce better for everyone. We are trusted advisors and growth partners to the business, always striving to learn, provide insights, solve complex problems and contribute positive impact. Finance also plays an important role at the strategic planning table and helps influence the future direction of Shopify.
We’re looking for Senior Financial Analysts (SFAs) and Financial Analysts (FAs) to join our Commercial Finance, Merchant Services, or Corporate Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) teams. In these roles, you will provide financial planning, analysis, and decision support to one or more areas of Shopify’s business. These roles may vary, for example if you join the Corporate FP&A team, you will lead our long term financial model, or dive into our metrics such as GMV and macro economics reporting and analysis to tell the story behind our growth. We’re looking for crafters that want to help improve quality, timeliness and depth of insight, ultimately enabling the organization to make great decisions quickly.
We are seeking talented individuals who, in addition to the above, have a passion for learning and leveraging technologies such as SQL, Python and AI to drive impactful data analysis. We think of Shopify as a crafter centric company where meetings come second to getting shit done. If you are an enthusiastic professional who’s looking to drive outcomes, who’s seeking to expand your experience in data analysis while pushing the boundaries of what's possible with cutting-edge tools, we would love to have you on board.
Shopify was built by thriving on change and pivoting quickly, so part of this process entails having that same mindset and keeping an open mind to the growth opportunities within the Finance team.
Please note that this posting will be used to fill roles on the teams at both the Financial Analyst and Senior Financial Analyst levels. Should your application move forward to the next stage, our hiring team will reach out and let you know for which level you are being considered.
