Lead Partner Manager - Shopify - Etätyö - Globaali

At Shopify, we simplify enterprise commerce for businesses of all types. We empower high-growth, high-volume merchants with the scalability, reliability, and flexibility they need. Our commitment is to make every merchant love their commerce platform and tools, and our Partner Management team plays a crucial role in making this a reality. Partners build with Shopify because it gives them an unmatched opportunity to grow alongside the future of commerce. Our platform, products, merchant base, and ecosystem create a place where agency partners can build durable businesses — from focused lifestyle agencies to scaled, category-defining companies. Partner Management exists to make that opportunity real: helping partners find the right merchants, adopt the right products, grow their practices, and feel supported as builders in the Shopify ecosystem. We are looking for a visionary partner manager who can foster relationships and drive strategic outcomes for our emerging and high-potential partner ecosystem. You will be someone who strengthens the value of partnerships internally and can leverage those collaborations to transform the business of high potential and performing partners across all Shopify plans and merchant businesses. You will bring a macro perspective to our growth and development, and know how to increase the impact of Shopify’s partner flywheel through proactive partner identification, outreach & strategic coaching, and 1:many educational campaigns. 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: Care deeply about what you do and about making commerce better for everyone Care deeply about craft excellence and being an expert in your chosen area of work Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter) Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change Bring critical thought and opinion — and embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward Work digital-first for your daily work. About the role As a Partner Manager, you will support an ecosystem of over 2,000 agency partners who contribute to merchant acquisition, implementation, launch, custom development, and expansion. Your mission is to help these partners build stronger Shopify practices by connecting their capabilities to merchant needs, helping them adopt new commerce solutions, and creating durable growth for partners, merchants, and Shopify. You will help partners turn Shopify’s innovation — from unified commerce to AI-enabled and agentic commerce workflows — into merchant value and new revenue opportunities for their own businesses. You’ll support partners at different stages of ambition, from boutique agencies building sustainable practices to high-growth firms scaling toward transformational outcomes. Your work should help partners see Shopify not just as a platform to implement, but as a place to build a real business. As a Partner Manager you will work on things like: Build scalable partner success programs that help partners identify their strongest merchant segments, sharpen their Shopify positioning, and grow repeatable revenue streams. Coach high-potential partners on differentiated strategies and actionable growth plans for their Shopify practices. Develop enablement resources, playbooks, office hours, campaigns, and workflows that make it easier for partners to build, launch, and scale merchant work on Shopify. Identify opportunities to recognize, reward, and amplify partners who deliver exceptional merchant outcomes. Design engagement motions that make it easy for partners to act on and see success building a practice with Shopify. Deploy scalable growth motions that help partners expand their portfolios through new merchant acquisition, new merchant services, and adoption of Shopify products by existing merchants. Strengthen a community of Shopify builders through IRL and virtual moments where partners learn from each other, share what is working, collaborate on merchant opportunities, and deepen their connection to Shopify’s mission of entrepreneurship. Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, Operations, Enablement, and other cross-functional teams to achieve partner, merchant, and Shopify business objectives. Success in this role looks like: More partners building durable, profitable Shopify practices Increased partner-led merchant acquisition, growth and expansion Higher adoption of Shopify’s newest commerce capabilities by partners and merchants Stronger partner engagement across campaigns, education, and community programs Clearer pathways for high-performing partners to grow with Shopify Improved partner sentiment, trust, and confidence in Shopify as the platform to build on.
