Shopify’s mission is to make commerce better for everyone. From building a new product feature for our commerce platform, to helping a merchant troubleshoot an issue over the phone, we want to empower our ecosystem through our work.
Having a unified vision, a north star, is vitally important to ensure that we are all headed in the same direction. No matter the size or experience, we want to empower every merchant’s experience. This is why we’re all here.
Shopify is now permanently remote, and we’re working towards a future that is digital by design. That location you see above? Consider it merely an example of hundreds of potential locations across Canada where Shopify is hiring. Learn more here: https://www.shopify.com/careers/work-anywhere
Role Overview:
In Support, our product is people. This includes our merchants, our team, and the success of the entire company we work for. We help people make money. As a Senior Support Specialist - Plus Technical Merchant Support (TMS), you empower entrepreneurs around the world through your conversations. We believe that human conversations help people make lifelong connections to our company. Every interaction with our merchants is an opportunity to do more than answer questions; we create memorable experiences by adding value to their businesses.
