Questions, meet answers.

APM is a paid, 12-month Product Management apprenticeship. You’ll rotate through two product teams, learn from leaders in the craft, solve real merchant problems, and grow alongside a small community of peers.

APMs join multidisciplinary teams working across Shopify. The exact problem space varies by placement, and each rotation gives you a different environment in which to build judgment and deliver meaningful work.

The program is remote by default. It also includes intentional in-person moments that require travel, giving you time to connect with your peers and people across Shopify.

The next APM cohort starts March 8, 2027.

Applications will open soon. Sign up for notifications to get an early heads-up on when the next application window is confirmed.
