Job Details

We are currently looking for an Operations Manager to join our team. If you've run a 3PL or warehousing facility from an Operations standpoint, know how to spot inefficiencies and can use your interpersonal skills to improve the way things are run, we want to hear from you.

Ultimately, you're Shopify's eyes and ears in our partner facility, which means you'll have three main areas of interest:
  • Merchants: Be merchant-obsessed and keep them ecstatic about SFN by understanding their shipping/fulfillment goals and then translating that to the facility. We have facilities all over the country, so you'll be part of a team of Ops Managers who are dedicated to helping merchants of all sizes tackle the black box of fulfillment.
  • The facility: Make it better. You'll use your past experience to identify how this facility can do things differently and better. You'll use your interpersonal skills to do that in a way that makes the team excited to be part of the journey.
  • Shopify: Drive positive change. You're onsite. Our development teams are in Canada. Your job here is to influence change on a network-level. How can we develop a better product in Canada for everyone, based on what you're seeing.
