Apprentice Product Manager - Spring 2027

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.
• Own real product problems for real merchants
• Learn Shopify's product management craft across two different team placements, each with a Senior Product Manager to guide and coach you
• Use AI daily for prototyping, research, analysis, and building

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:
• A history of creating something that didn't exist before and seeing it through
• Comfort operating without a playbook. Figuring out what needs to happen and making it happen.
• A track record of doing more with less, stretching limited time, resources, or experience further than expected
• Genuine interest in the audience affected by what you build: merchants, buyers, or communities
• A pattern of picking up new skills, domains, or responsibilities quickly
• Hands-on experience making things with AI. We're looking for people who've used AI to do real work, not people who've listed it on a resume.
• Legally eligible to work from the locations listed by the chosen program start date
• Able to work a minimum of 40 hours per week as of March 2027. This is not a part time opportunity.
