Drive your career forward.

If you’re switching careers or are a recent university or college graduate and have a strong interest in sales, apply for our four-month paid sales training program - Revenue School - to set you up for success in your career. Successful applicants will be joining our upcoming program start date of January 30th, 2023.

As a Revenue School Associate, you will learn the fundamental skills to be a world-class sales professional. You’ll also learn about Shopify’s products and the tech and SaaS environment. The Revenue School program in the Shopify School of Commerce has been designed to give you a best-in-class learning experience in one of the most innovative companies in the world to launch your professional career. You’ll learn sales - including inbound and outbound skills - through coaching, hands-on assignments, facilitator-led training, asynchronous modules, job shadowing, and mentorship.

Although our roots are in e-commerce, Shopify technology extends much further than our world-class e-commerce platform. Our growing sales teams work directly with notable brands and entrepreneurs to develop their commerce strategies — whether that is starting or expanding their brick & mortar operations or tapping into the millions of consumers that use Shop Pay as their preferred payment method.

We are revolutionizing how we work and support our merchants by operating in a fully distributed work-from-home “digital by design” environment as we build the future of commerce.

If you are a high performer in the program, there is a possibility to build a career with a company that will continually provide opportunities for growth. You will be helping business owners create those same opportunities within their businesses as you support them to leverage all that Shopify can offer. Successful completion of the program does not guarantee full-time employment, and is subject to a fair assessment of performance.
