About the job
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:
Shopify is intensifying its focus on Enterprise Merchants to boost revenue growth and become the preferred e-commerce platform with advanced enterprise capabilities. Our Enterprise Solutions Engineers (SEs) are crucial in this effort, working closely with sales teams to tailor technology solutions that meet client needs and ensure seamless integration. These engineers use their deep technical knowledge and product expertise to build trust and bridge the gap between technical solutions and business objectives.
To support and enhance the capabilities of our SEs, we are seeking a Learning and Development Program Manager. This role will be pivotal in creating and implementing training programs that equip our SEs to effectively accelerate and close enterprise deals, further establishing Shopify as a leader in the enterprise e-commerce space
