• Manufacturing/warehousing plant engineering/management experience which includes financial management and project development and project management experience

• Experience, experience and more experience. We want you to be informing us how this should be done. Ideally, you will have carried out a similar role at another company that is heavily involved in warehousing and fulfillment operations.

Additional Information

Sounds cool huh? This is basically a greenfield role. Nothing like this has ever existed at Shopify before, and as we’re very early in the SL journey, there is a lot of potential to help us create the fuel to launch this rocketship!.
